Price data changed 22 Oct 2026

This page groups petrol stations that don't report a fuel brand in the official price data, or whose name we can't match to a brand we know. It isn't one company.

Because these stations aren't tied to a fuel brand, each owner sets their own prices, opening hours and facilities, and there's no shared loyalty scheme. Prices can be higher or lower than at nearby branded stations, so it's worth comparing.

If you know a station listed here sells a particular brand of fuel, you can tell us using the 'Report a Discrepancy' link on its station page.

At a glance

  • Not a single company: a group of stations with no fuel brand in the official data.
  • Prices, opening hours and facilities are set by each owner.
  • A station moves off this page once it reports a brand we recognise.

Fuel and energy options

  • Each station chooses what it sells; check the station page.

Loyalty and payment

  • There's no shared loyalty scheme; any offers are set by each station.

Who this brand suits

  • Drivers who want to compare every station near them, not just the big brands.
  • Rural drivers whose nearest station is a local independent.

Before you go checks

  • Check the date of the latest price on the station page.
  • Check opening hours on the station page.
  • Check payment options at the till.

Known variation note

Two independent stations may have nothing in common except that they don't report a fuel brand.

Brand FAQs

This page groups petrol stations that don't report a fuel brand in the official price data, or whose name we can't match to a brand we know. It isn't one company: each owner sets their own prices, opening hours and facilities, and there's no shared loyalty scheme.

Use the 'Report a Discrepancy' link on its station page. A station moves off this page once it reports a brand we recognise.

We use the latest recorded prices across Independent stations, prioritising E10, then E5, then unleaded (and the latest diesel when available).

Some stations may not have reported a recent price yet, so averages and comparisons change as stations report new prices.

Use postcode search to compare nearby stations and sort by lowest price.
