What this site is

UK Fuel Price Checker helps you compare petrol, diesel and EV charging prices near a UK postcode or your current location. It's a small, independently run site, not affiliated with any fuel retailer, EV network, or the UK government's Fuel Finder scheme.

What information is collected

When you search, the postcode you type (or, if you tap the location button, your device's coordinates) is sent to this site's server to look up nearby stations. Your chosen fuel type, search radius, and sort order are also sent along with each search.

None of this is stored. There are no user accounts, no databases of past searches, and no server-side logging of individual searches beyond standard, short-lived web server access logs.

Cookies and local storage

This site does not currently use cookies, local storage, or any analytics or advertising scripts. If that changes in future (for example, to support advertising), this policy will be updated first and you'll be asked for consent where required by law.

Third parties involved in a search

  • postcodes.io – converts a postcode you enter into map coordinates. Receives the postcode you typed.
  • OpenStreetMap – supplies the map tiles you see. Your browser requests these directly, which means OpenStreetMap's servers receive your IP address for each map tile, under their own privacy policy.
  • Google – the small brand icons shown on map pins are fetched directly by your browser from Google's favicon service, which means Google receives your IP address for each icon loaded.
  • UK Fuel Finder / Open Charge Map – official fuel price and EV charge point data. These are queried by this site's own server, not your browser directly, so your IP address isn't shared with them.

Your rights

Since no personal data is stored by this site, there's generally nothing to access, correct or delete on our end. For data handled by the third parties above, refer to their own privacy policies to exercise your rights with them directly.
