Shoppers filling their trolleys at Tesco can now also shave money off their fuel bills. The supermarket has rolled out a limited-time voucher that lowers pump prices for drivers who spend in-store, offering welcome relief as petrol and diesel costs remain elevated across the UK.
What Tesco’s fuel voucher offers and how to claim it
Tesco is issuing a coupon that gives drivers 5% off when they spend at least £60 in a single store transaction. The scheme began on 30 July and runs until 16 August.
- The discount applies to both unleaded petrol and diesel.
- Motorists must present the voucher in paper form at the kiosk when purchasing fuel.
- The saving is capped at £10.
- Fuel purchases must total at least £1 to qualify for the reduction.
How much you can realistically save
The 5% cut can translate to noticeable savings at the pump. Depending on local prices, drivers could see reductions of around up to 8p per litre.
- Maximum voucher value: £10, regardless of tank size.
- Exact pence-per-litre savings depend on the station’s current price.
- Multiple transactions do not combine to reach the £60 threshold; it must be one purchase.
Where the voucher cannot be used
There are several exclusions to be aware of. The coupon cannot be redeemed in certain locations or by certain payment methods.
- Not valid for Pay at Pump transactions.
- Unavailable at unmanned petrol stations.
- Not accepted in Northern Ireland or the Isle of Man.
- Not valid at Tesco Express forecourts that sell Esso fuel.
Redemption rules every driver should note
To avoid frustration, follow these simple steps at the kiosk.
- Keep the printed voucher with you after your in-store purchase.
- Present it to the forecourt cashier before paying for fuel.
- Ensure the fuel purchase is part of the same transaction as the voucher redemption.
Failure to show the paper coupon at the kiosk will void the discount.
Why Tesco says it introduced the discount now
Tesco frames the move as timely support for families and holidaymakers. The retailer says the extra saving aims to ease some of the pressure ahead of the summer break and seasonal travel.
Current fuel price snapshot across the UK
Drivers are still facing steep pump prices across the country. Recent averages put petrol and diesel at much higher levels than a few years ago.
- Average petrol price: 159.55p per litre.
- Average diesel price: 178.31p per litre.
Those national averages mean a full tank can cost significantly more than household budgets expect.
