You will only be charged the amount of fuel that you use at the pump. In order to authorise your card for payment, a ‘hold’ of $200 is required when using a self-service fuel site. The credit card pre-authorisation process is standard practice across self-service fuel stations in New Zealand.

A hold of up to $200 is placed. Once you have completed your fuel payment, the remaining amount (eg. if you spent $50 on petrol, you’d get $150 refunded instantly) will be automatically refunded back to you by your bank. Usually, your bank will process this transaction immediately. Unfortunately, occasionally your bank may take longer to release the held amount. Some credit cards will have a pre-authorisation hold for 2-3 business days, while some (especially international cards) may take up to 5 business days.

The pre-authorisation process is used to determine that you have funds available for your fuel purchased. All credit, debit and travel cards are subject to a pre-authorisation hold. It’s standard practice across New Zealand self-service petrol stations.

That amount is the pre-authorisation fuel process amount. You will only be charged the amount of fuel that you use at the pump. If you are noticing a delay in receiving your refunded balance, please contact your bank.

We suggest that if you are experiencing delays, contact your bank. Most banks in New Zealand release the held funds instantly, while we have encountered some delays when it is outside trading hours (eg. weekends or public holidays). If you are using an overseas or travel (credit or debit) card, we strongly suggest you contact your bank if you are experiencing a delay in the held balance being released.
