Pay comfortably from your car
Skip the trip to the till
With ryd you pay for fueling, charging, and washing simply via app. No queuing, no waiting: choose your location, confirm the payment digitally, and drive straight on. You have never paid on the road this fast before.
The free ryd app is secure, convenient, and saves valuable time. Benefit from the largest network for digital in-car payment — available in Germany and 13 other countries across Europe.
One app.
Many target groups.
Countless benefits.
Save time – where it actually counts
You just want to fuel up quickly and drive on? While others are searching for change at the till or can’t decide between snacks, you’re already back on the road.
Studies on shopping behavior show that the average payment process at the fuel station till — including queuing and upselling — often takes 5 to 7 minutes. With ryd you reduce this to just a few seconds. Extrapolated over a year, a regular driver saves up to 4 hours of their life with ryd — time better spent than standing in a queue.
Save money – with smart choices, not luck
Why pay more than necessary? The ryd app is your personal price watchdog for fuel and electricity.
According to the market transparency office, fuel prices within a city often fluctuate by up to 22 cents per litre on the same day. When filling up a full tank, price comparison alone can save you up to €11.
On top of that, ryd rewards your loyalty: earn discounts through our refer-a-friend programme.
Convenience — Pay without small talk
Sometimes you just don’t feel like interacting with people. ryd gives you a fully autonomous experience.
According to surveys, over 55% of Gen Z and Millennials prefer digital self-service options to avoid unnecessary personal contact or social pressure. With ryd you keep full control over your payment moment, entirely free from queue pressure.
Safety & Protection — Your car, your safe space
Especially after dark or at remote stations, getting out of the vehicle makes many people feel uneasy. With ryd the door stays closed and the focus stays on you.
Safety studies and surveys on public spaces show that around 40% of women feel uncomfortable at places like fuel stations in the evening. ryd proactively solves this problem: since the entire payment process is digital, you can safely stay in your car.
