Woqod’s prepaid microchip for re-fuelling set to save even more time
Woqod has been trying different methods to tackle the congestion caused due to the temporary/permanent closure of petrol stations around the country.
In addition to setting up new temporary and permanent petrol stations, they also installed longer fuelling hoses to help ease congestion. And now, they have come up with another innovative method to speed up payment system — prepaid microchips.
The system, named ‘WOQODe,’ is a microchip that is fixed near the fuel tank opening. The chip, which carries details of the vehicle such as its registration number, name and location of petrol station (where a customer prefers refuelling), date, time and other details as desired, reported The Peninsula.
The total fee for the service will be QR220 (QR195 for the tag and QR25 service charge). It can then be topped up at every Woqod station, starting at QR20. There is no upper limit for top-ups. The system will alert customers about new transactions via SMS.
For fitting the device, motorists should call 40217777 and make an appointment. The motorist should then head to a designated Woqod petrol station in New Al Rayyan, near Ansar Gallery.
