Makro stations are not a "destination," but they are a brilliant utility. If you drive past one on your daily commute, you are throwing money away by not stopping. The fuel is quality (they source from major suppliers), the price is the lowest around, and the bulk-shopping integration is genius. Just lower your expectations for a gourmet cappuccino.
If you want a specific brand of sports drink, a hot pie, or a gourmet coffee, go elsewhere. The "convenience store" area is minimal. It is mostly bulk snacks (giant chip bags) and basic engine oil. There is no bright, air-conditioned café vibe here. It feels like a warehouse floor with fuel pumps. makro tankstations
While you earn eBucks or standard retail points, the integration isn't as seamless as a dedicated fuel card. You often have to scan your phone, then your loyalty card, then your payment card. It feels like three steps too many. The Verdict: 4/5 Stars Best for: Business owners, Uber drivers, delivery services, and families with large SUVs who live near an industrial zone.

Fill up on a Tuesday morning. The lines are short, and the diesel is usually the cheapest of the week. Just lower your expectations for a gourmet cappuccino
As someone who drives a diesel SUV for family use and a small delivery van for my business, I have spent a small fortune at fuel stations over the years. When Makro—the giant wholesale retailer—started rolling out their own branded filling stations, I was skeptical. After six months of regular use, here is my honest take. The Pros: Why I Keep Coming Back 1. The Price (The Big One) Let’s cut to the chase: You save money. Makro isn't trying to be the convenience store on the corner. They use the "wholesale model" for fuel. On average, I save between 10c and 25c per liter (sometimes more during promotions) compared to major brands like Shell or BP. If you have a 60L tank, that’s a free loaf of bread. If you run a business, those savings add up to thousands per month.
This is the secret weapon. Unlike a standard garage where the shop prices are inflated, Makro fuel stations are usually attached to the main warehouse. You can fill up your tank, walk 50 meters, and buy a 24-pack of water, a rotisserie chicken, or office supplies at the same wholesale price as inside. You don't need a membership for fuel, but if you have a Makro card, the rewards points stack nicely.
