Starting October 21, you will have to dole out Dh10 if you take the help of a pump attendant to fuel your car at Adnoc gas stations across all the northern emirates. However, you can also opt to self-fuel your vehicle, if you wish to avoid paying the charge.

The elderly and people of determination have been exempted from the ‘premium service fee’ which will be enforced after five days in Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah.

Under the self-service option, you can follow a simple and safe process to fuel your vehicle on your own. Cashiers will be at hand to help if you are not sure of anything and need assistance.

Adnoc’s rollout of the new ‘Flex Service’ across the northern emirates follows a free trial period of several months, in which customers had the opportunity to familiarise themselves with the options.

Saeed Mubarak Al Rashdi, Adnoc Distribution’s Acting CEO, said they will distribute 100,000 smart tags to customers to ease their self-service and ‘premium’ service.

“The ‘smart tag’ technology provides a world-class payment option that enables customers to quickly refuel and pay without using cash or bank cards.” It is based on an RFID tag fixed to a vehicle to automatically trigger payment from the customer’s pre-paid Adnoc Wallet, he added.
