Most Tesco petrol stations in the UK operate from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM Monday to Saturday, and 7:00 AM to 9:00 PM on Sundays. Some larger Tesco Extra stores have petrol stations that operate longer hours, typically until 11:00 PM or even 24/7. However, opening hours can vary significantly by location, so it's always best to check with your local Tesco store directly or use the store locator on their website.

Many Tesco petrol stations use pay-at-pump technology that places a temporary hold on your card to ensure sufficient funds are available. Here's how it works:

• Pre-authorization: The system places a hold of up to £99 (or your available balance if less) before you start fueling
• Actual charge: You're only charged for the actual amount of fuel you purchase (e.g., £40 for a tank fill-up)
• Hold release: The remaining held amount (£59 in this example) is automatically released, usually within 24-48 hours
• Low balance protection: If you only have £35 available, only that amount is held, preventing you from overdrawing

This system ensures you have sufficient funds while protecting both you and Tesco from payment issues. The actual fuel cost is always what you pay - never the full £99 hold amount.

Tesco petrol stations accept a wide range of payment methods:

• All major debit cards (Visa, Mastercard)
• Credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express)
• Contactless payments up to £100
• Mobile payments (Apple Pay, Google Pay, Samsung Pay)
• Tesco gift cards and vouchers
• Cash payments at the kiosk (where available)
• Clubcard for points collection
• Fuel vouchers and promotional codes
• Tesco Pay+ mobile app payments

Most Tesco stations prioritize card-only payments at the pump for convenience and security, though some locations still accept cash payments inside the store.
