Skoda has introduced a new feature that allows owners to pay for fuel via their car’s infotainment system.<\/p>\n
As per reports, the new feature called ‘Pay to Fuel’, will be installed in the vehicle’s infotainment system. The feature will list all the stations that support the service via in-car navigation. Owners can choose the petrol station and the vehicle will automatically recognise it at the time of arrival.<\/p>\n
Via the app, the driver can then confirm the station and enter the pump number and the amount of fuel after refuelling. The payment can be made via the same screen, with the app accepting all common credit and debit cards. Once the payment is done, the driver receives a notification on the MySkoda App and can then drive away.<\/p>\n
The information of the card being used for payment can be entered via the MySkoda App. The ‘Pay to Fuel’ service is said to be provided by Skoda in partnership with Mastercard, Parkopedia and ryd – a German FinTech company.<\/p>\n
The new feature is currently said to be offered in a few European countries like Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria Denmark and Switzerland, with Portugal and Spain expected to get it soon. Other countries will also receive this service at a slightly later stage.<\/p>\n
