Fuel and charging stops
Refuel before the drive becomes a search for an open pump. For a motorway stop, the carriageway and exact station matter as much as the fuel brand. For an electric car, plan charging access separately from the coffee stop.
Read the product label before lifting the nozzle
INA/Holdina calls unleaded petrol Eurosuper BS 95 or 98 and diesel Eurodiesel BS. Individual pump listings may instead say PREMIUM BMB 95 or DIZEL BAS EN 590. Autoplin means automotive LPG; the finder lists bottled gas separately.
Use the filler-flap label or vehicle specification to settle the fuel type. At hire-car collection, have the agent show you the correct product and photograph the starting gauge. Nozzle colour and a premium name are poor substitutes for that answer.
Three published station examples
BS Lepenica Istok, Mokrine bb, publishes 00:00–24:00 hours for weekdays, weekends and holidays. It lists 95 and 98 petrol, diesel, automotive LPG and Fresh Corner. Put the exact station on the route: the name and email use different directional labels, so settle the approach before relying on it.
BS Kravice L, Zvirići 76, Ljubuški, lists those same fuels and Fresh Corner, with published hours of 06:00–24:00. Use the address to distinguish this forecourt from Kravice D.
BS Tuzla Jug, Bosne srebrene 54, publishes 00:00–24:00 hours and lists 95 petrol, diesel, automotive LPG and Fresh Corner. Save the full address. Published hours and products help plan the stop; they cannot settle live stock or access.
Pay for the fuel, and pick the extra service
The three entries list credit-card payment and the branded INA card. Before lifting the nozzle, look at the displayed price and accepted payment marks; ask the attendant if your card is uncertain. Keep the pump number for the cashier and the receipt for your hire records. Carry a backup payment method.
Use the station finder to combine automotive LPG with the break you need: Fresh Corner, an ATM or a car wash have separate filters. Nestro’s network map offers another operator’s starting point. Read the individual station details for the planned stop; facilities vary within a network.
The last fill before returning a hire car
Europcar’s published fuel policy is same-to-same, meaning the level supplied at collection must be returned. Full-to-full therefore applies when you collected a full tank. Your own agreement sets any missing-fuel or service charge; retain the filling receipt and a gauge photograph.
Plan the final fill on the way to the actual return address, with enough time for a different junction if the pump is across the motorway. The car-hire guide explains the wider agreement. Put motorway tolls beside fuel when budgeting the route.
LPG, AdBlue and a late rural drive
For an LPG vehicle, ask which connector the chosen station uses and whether your car needs an adaptor. If a hire car uses AdBlue, have the agent explain the separate filler and refill procedure at collection; keep the receipt with the hire records.
Fill before a long mountain stretch or a late countryside arrival, rather than making the last part of the day depend on a rural pump. In winter, check the screenwash and carry an ice scraper. Switch off the engine at the forecourt and follow its filling and payment instructions.
An electric car needs a charging plan
EPBiH lists a DC charger at the A1 Lepenica rest area in the Mostar-to-Sarajevo direction. Its Bosnian charging instructions now describe EPBiH Charge or a web platform and say previously issued RFID cards no longer work. Its English page still describes the older card system.
Before building the drive around a charger, obtain the connector, access instructions and displayed tariff for that unit. Keep another suitable charging stop in range. The operator describes bank-card authorisation through its platform, but a listed charger does not guarantee an available bay or a successful session.
