Gas Stations

Waze includes a feature to track the locations of fuel (gas, diesel, petrol, etc.) stations and the current prices at those stations. Drivers can use the Waze app to search for their favorite brand of fuel or the best prices nearest their current location. Wazers who want to get extra points and help their fellow Wazers can enter the current price of local stations while they fill up or are stopped at a light near one.

Search for a station

To search for fuel stations near you click on Menu >> Navigate

Now choose Categories:

And select Gas Station from the list:

Here you'll see all stations near you sorted by price. You can choose a different sort order from the settings menu.

Please note that you can choose to view stations from different search providers, but you won't see the prices. The prices for stations are available on Waze search provider only!

You also can click on map to view the fuel stations around you:

Once you have selected the desired station you'll see the preview window:

At the Location tab you can:

• View the station on the map.
• See the phone number.
• Press More to 1) Add a stop point (see how to add a stop point), 2) Set as start point, 3) Show on map, and 4) Share the location.
• Add the place to favorites.
• Press Go to navigate to the station.

The Info tab shows more about the station including the phone number, a photo of the station, prices, and when the prices were last updated.

At the Specials tab you can check for any coupons or discounts for that station.

Update prices

When you're in or very near a fuel station you can update the fuel price.

Click on Report

Choose Gas Prices

Choose the station from the list:

Here you'll see the prices for each grade of fuel:

• Regular
• Midgrade
• Premium
• Diesel

Note: Waze only tracks a single price for each fuel grade. If a station offers a different price for cash or credit, the cash price is the recommended one to enter. The reason is for consistency among all Wazers and most people know the credit price is higher by a typical amount (when not the same as cash).

If the prices are correct, press Yes and the date will be updated to today as the most recent price check date. If any of them are wrong, press No to begin updating the prices.

To update a price just tap on the current price and update the price. If that grade of fuel is not available at that station, press the Not Available button. If the current price is accurate for that grade, press Next to keep the current price and move to the next grade.

Click Send to save the update.

Currently saving the prices for a station provides the Wazer 8 points.

Add a station (currently applies only for world server)

This section is currently only applicable to the World Server and not the North American server. It is planned for the North American server in the near future. Template:Adding Gas Stations

Remove a station

Currently only the World Server provides direct access to remove stations. From the Waze Map Editor enable Landmarks to see the outline of the station. Delete the landmark and save the changes.

For the North American server, until the Waze Map Editor can directly access the gas stations, the best way to indicate a station is closed is to use the Waze client app. Drive to the location of the station and use the option to update the fuel prices outlined above. For each fuel type use the "Not Available" option and save the changes. This will prevent the station from being displayed in the client app until it can be removed completely.
