DUBAI: Motorists in the UAE will soon face charges if an attendant fills up their vehicle’s fuel tank under new service plans announced by oil giant ADNOC Distribution.
But customers can avoid paying the fee if they fill up their own tanks, the Abu Dhabi state-owned company said.
Officials working on the project told Arab News on Thursday that the drive behind the initiative was to give customers “more options.”
Service stations in Abu Dhabi will implement the plans in mid-April while other ADNOC stations throughout the UAE will be offering the premium and self-serving options in the following months.
Details of the premium fuel service fee have not yet been released.
In 2015 Dubai’s fuel retailers ENOC and EPPCO reversed their decision to offer self-service at fuel pumps through the night just one month after its implementation.
