Italy: Fuel stations with the best fuel prices

Your DKV card, offered through Affinity, is accepted with more then 9,450 stations around the country.

Fuel station networks with attractive pump prices are Q8, TAMOIL and ESSO.

Fueling in IP stations (Italiana Petroli) should be avoided, because in these stations a significantly higher list price is used, different from the one displayed at the pump. Other stations with list price to avoid are: CRISTELLA, Coil, Ratti and GNP.

You can benefit from pump prices at the stations: RETITALIA, EUROPAM, VEGA CARBURANTI, SARNI, KEROPETROL.

How to see the best fuel prices

The DKV Mobility app allows you to stay up-to-date with up-to-date prices in this country and is available for FREE from both Google Play and the App Store. Find out where the better priced stations are directly from the DKV app at this LINK after logging into your account.

How do you pay tolls?

Regardless of the total weight allowed, the toll applies to highways and expressways (6,600 Km) and can be settled both through the Telepass device and through the DKV BOX EUROPE and DKV Box Italia devices, offering the possibility of toll payments in automatic regime, through DKV (post-pay).

Also, through the Consorzio DKV service you can benefit from an annual discount of up to 13% of the total road taxes paid for Italy, a service available for all trucks with a maximum authorized weight of more than 7.5 tons.

Excise duty recovery in Italy

The excise duty refund applies to commercial vehicles with a gross vehicle weight of at least 7.5 tones. Fuel excise duty can be refunded if the fuel was paid for by fuel card, credit card or bank card, not in the case of cash payments.

Fuel supplies that cannot be assigned to a specific vehicle on the basis of the invoice (missing or different information from the registration number, e.g. in the receipt) are excluded from the fuel excise refund.

From 01.01.2023, the value of the excise duty for Italy is 6.42 cents / L.

Spain: temporary measures on VAT and excise duties (March–June 2026)

Dear customer,

We inform you that the Spanish authorities have introduced a set of temporary measures aimed at reducing fuel costs in the transport sector, applicable from 22 March 2026.

Application period
The measures entered into force on 22 March 2026 and are applicable until 30 June 2026, as published in the Boletín Oficial del Estado (BOE).
Temporary reduction of the VAT rate
The VAT rate for diesel has been temporarily reduced from 21% to 10%.
The application of the reduced rate in June 2026 depends on the evolution of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for the month of April:

If the CPI does not exceed the level of April 2025 by more than 15%, the VAT rate will return to 21%.
If the CPI exceeds this 15% threshold, the reduced rate of 10% will continue to apply in June.

Products covered by the reduced VAT rate: Petrol, Diesel, Hydrocarbons (except coal and solid hydrocarbons)

Excise duty measures – professional diesel

The excise duty refund (EUR 0.049/litre) is temporarily suspended and set at zero.
A temporary aid of EUR 0.20/litre is granted to diesel beneficiaries.
This aid:

Applies to transport operators eligible for the partial refund of excise duty on hydrocarbons;
It is only available for vehicles registered with the Agencia Tributaria;
Temporarily replaces the standard excise duty refund mechanism.
The granting of the aid is conditional on payments being made by fuel cards for diesel.
