Visiting tips & what to bring

Petrol stations on the island are few in number and it is closed Sunday, so plan fuelling with room to spare. As it is full-service, telling the staff the fuel type and amount when fuelling is smooth. It is convenient for a full-tank fill before returning a hire car too. EV cars can use rapid and normal chargers. As it is an outdoor fuelling space, beware of the heat even in a short time on a day with strong sun.

For families with small children

As it is a facility for fuelling and car maintenance, it is not a place for families with small children to drop by for leisure. However, being full-service you can fuel without leaving the car, and it finishes in a short time mid-drive, so it is convenient for fuelling while travelling with children. During fuelling, wait inside the car for safety and take care that children do not walk around the fuelling area. Confirm with the shop whether the toilet can be used.
