How to get gas in Curaçao
The routine is straightforward once you know the order. At most stations, this is what you do:
Choose a pump
Pull up to an available pump, turn off the engine and remember the pump number.
Go to the cashier
Tell the cashier your pump number and how many guilders you want to put on it.
Prepay
Pay using a method the station accepts. Debit and cash are the safest options to plan around.
Pump the correct fuel
Check the fuel-door label or rental paperwork if you are unsure whether your car takes Mogas 95 or diesel.
Done — or money left?
Return the nozzle. If the tank took less than you prepaid, go back to the cashier and ask about the unused balance.
What do I say at the cashier?
Start with a friendly greeting in Papiamentu, then keep the rest simple in English.
“Bon tardi! Pump 4, Cg 50 gasoline, please.”In the morning, say “Bon dia”; in the evening, “Bon nochi.” For diesel, say “diesel” instead of “gasoline.” Always confirm your rental car’s fuel type first.
PREPAY WITHOUT GUESSWORK
How much should I prepay?
You do not need an exact number. Use the estimator for a rough range. A rental-car fuel gauge is not precise enough to predict the exact amount to a full tank.
Prepaid too much?
If your tank takes less than you prepaid, go back to the same cashier and ask for the remaining balance. The refund method can vary by station or payment type.

Liters ↔ U.S. gallons
FOR U.S. TRAVELERS
What is different from getting gas in the U.S.?
Curaçao is simple once you know the routine: prices are per liter, you usually prepay at the cashier, and the pump colors are different from what many Americans expect.

Yellow gasoline, black dieselThis is the opposite of color expectations some U.S. drivers may have. Always confirm the fuel requirement on your rental car.
Cg plus a dollar estimateWe show the Caribbean-guilder price first and the approximate U.S.-dollar amount right next to it, so you can judge the cost at a glance.
Which fuel does your rental car need?
At Curaçao pumps the practical color rule is simple: yellow = Mogas 95 / gasoline and black = diesel. That may be the opposite of what you expect from some U.S. stations. Do not choose by color alone: check the label inside the fuel door, your rental paperwork or the rental company’s instructions before filling up.

How to pay for gas
Do not count on a credit card alone at the pump. Bring a debit card and some cash so you have a backup if one payment method is not accepted.
Are gas prices the same everywhere in Curaçao?
For regulated fuel, yes. Fuel prices are regulated in Curaçao, so choosing a station is mostly about location, route and convenience rather than hunting for a lower price.
