Spain: Best fuel prices and the networks

In Spain, as in other European countries, there are some gas station networks where payment by DKV card is made at a list price, you will pay a different price than the one displayed at the pumps. These operators are: REPSOL (SOLRED), VALCARCE, PETREM, ANDAMUR, ONTURTLE, GLOBALTANK, MENDIONDO and GALP.

For Easygas and BP networks, the prices displayed at the pump are the ones you will also find on the invoice issued by DKV.

How do you pay road taxes in Spain?

We remind you that the road or tunnel fee can be paid with DKV CARD, DKV BOX EUROPE or DKV BOX SELECT.

Fees for the use of guarded car parks can be paid without cash with the DKV CARD. Fuel cards are not accepted on motorways operated by the ABERTIS group.

You can see below which sections of the road the DKV card is supported on, as well as those where it is not accepted and a charging device is required:

How to claim a refund of excise duty on diesel

You can claim a refund of excise duty on diesel paid in Spain after obtaining a registration code. Reimbursement is possible for vehicles with a total permissible weight of at least 7.5 tones.

You can request a refund of the excise duty on diesel only if the refueling has been paid with a special fuel card (on which the registration code will be written).

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.
