The quick answer
Mostar Airport sits south of the city near Ortiješ. After you exit the terminal road, you join the airport road and then the M17 towards the city. You will pass several fuel stations within ten to twenty minutes of driving. Most accept cards. Keep your last receipt if you plan to return full to full.
After you land: first options within minutes
- Leave the airport and follow signs for Mostar.
- The airport road feeds you onto the main route towards town.
- You will reach the first cluster of stations before you hit the busier central streets. These are ideal if you want to top up a small hire car before checking in.
- If you prefer a quieter forecourt, continue a few minutes further towards the larger shopping areas. Access is simpler and turning back onto the main road is easier.
Tip for a smooth start: if you arrive late, head straight to your hotel and refuel the next morning. Stations on the approach to the centre usually open early and close late, and some run around the clock in peak season.
Before you return the car: the easy fill and handback routine
- If you fly out of Mostar, plan your last fuel stop on the way back from town to the airport.
- Use a station on the main approach rather than a tiny back street site. You will get better access and clearer receipts.
- Keep the printed receipt with the time stamp. It helps if traffic pushes your gauge down by a notch on the short drive to the terminal.
- At the airport, follow our handover directions. Show the receipt if asked and you are done.
Hours and payment that travellers ask about
- Most city stations open from early morning to late evening. Some run 24 hours in summer and on travel corridors.
- Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted. Older machines may be chip and PIN only. Contactless is common but not guaranteed.
- Keep a little cash for older pumps or if terminals go offline during storms.
- You pay at the cashier. Self service means you lift the nozzle, fill, then settle the bill inside.
Fuel types explained so you avoid misfuelling
- Petrol is called Eurosuper 95 and Eurosuper 98. Most hire cars use 95.
- Diesel is called Eurodiesel.
- The fuel cap label and the key tag show the correct fuel.
- If you are unsure, ask the attendant before you lift the nozzle.
- Misfuelling is not covered by basic insurance. If it happens, do not start the engine. Call us at once and we will guide you.
Full to full made simple
- We aim to supply airport pickups full. Return full and you will not pay a refuelling charge.
- If your pickup was at a different level, return at the same level you received.
- Use the dashboard range and pump totals as a guide. Topping off a small tank slowly in the last two litres helps you reach the brim without spills.
- Keep your last receipt until your deposit releases.
Common questions
How far is the first fuel stop from Mostar Airport ?
In normal traffic you will reach your first options within ten to twenty minutes of leaving the terminal area.
Do stations near the airport take cards ?
Yes in most cases. Card acceptance is widespread on the approach roads and inside the city. Keep a little cash as a backup in case a terminal goes offline.
Can I buy a car wash before return ?
Yes at many larger sites. Allow extra time if you want a wash. It is optional for our handback. We care more about the correct fuel level than a shine.
Is there LPG near the airport ?
Autogas is available in the wider area, but our fleet is petrol or diesel. Only use the fuel type shown on your cap label and key tag.
What if I cannot find a station that is open late ?
Refuel on the evening before if you have an early flight. If you forget, tell our agent at handover. We can charge a fair refuelling fee and show the calculation on your contract.
Do I need to keep fuel receipts ?
Keep the last receipt until your deposit releases. It is your proof of a full to full return if the gauge looks shy after driving from the pump to the terminal.
Can I prepay fuel and return empty ?
If available, prepay is shown during booking. Most travellers prefer full to full because it is usually cheaper and clearer.
Are there pay at pump machines ?
The region mainly uses pay inside. Some modern sites have pay at pump, but do not rely on it if you are rushing for a flight.
Do stations sell AdBlue ?
Yes at larger sites. If your car needs AdBlue on a long trip, call us first so we can advise the nearest suitable product.
Before you go
Book a car that fits your plan and avoid last minute detours. If you tell us your arrival time and hotel, we can suggest a simple first fill and an easy last stop before handback.
