Tanqero plans the refuelling stops for a road trip across Europe and tells you what the drive actually costs β€” fuel, tolls and charging in one number, before you set off. PLAN THE WHOLE TRIP Enter a start and a destination anywhere in Europe and get the full picture: total cost, time in transit, distance and every stop along the way. Compare three versions of the same trip β€” Optimal, Cheaper and Faster β€” and see exactly what the cheaper one costs you in time. REAL PRICES, NOT GUESSES Stops are picked from current station prices rather than national averages. Every stop shows the brand, the price per litre, how many litres to put in, the detour in kilometres and how fresh the price is. Where a price is an estimate, it says so, so you always know what you are looking at. TOLLS AND VIGNETTES Toll roads and vignettes are priced per country and listed section by section, so a route through France, Spain or Italy holds no surprises at the barrier. Rather avoid them? Plan the same trip without toll roads and compare the two. ELECTRIC CARS TOO For an EV, Tanqero plans charging stops instead of fuel stops: where to charge, for how long, how much energy goes in and what it costs. Battery size, consumption and charging curve come from the car you picked. FIND FUEL AROUND YOU The map shows the stations near you with their current prices, so the cheap ones stand out at a glance. Open a station to see every fuel type it sells, its price against the area average, the cost of a full tank, opening hours and the address β€” then navigate there or add it to your route. YOUR GARAGE Add the cars you actually drive from a catalogue of thousands of models, or set consumption and tank size by hand. The active car drives every number in the app. Loyal to one chain? Set your preferred brands and stops will favour them. BUILT FOR EUROPEAN TRAVEL β€’ 31 languages β€’ Metric, UK and US units β€’ Prices in the currency you choose β€’ No account needed β€” your garage and your routes stay on the device, or sync across your devices when you sign in Prices and routes are estimates and can differ from the price at the pump.
