If the rise in COVID-19 cases over the past few weeks has taught us anything, it’s that going forward we need to do things as conveniently and safely as possible.
I don’t know about you, but during the lockdown, I found new ways of shopping and accessing other services that I didn’t know existed before they became essential.
I still get my groceries delivered, because who wants to brave a shop or mall right now?
Adding to the list of convenient ways to get things done is Refuel, an app that allows you to order petrol.
From Monday to Friday, between 9AM and 5PM, you can have fuel delivered to your car.
I’m not talking canisters here – in simple terms it’s a mobile petrol station.
Jacaranda FM breaks it down:
The company, Refuel, has a fuel truck that delivers directly to vehicles at offices and companies.
You can make use of the service in Johannesburg and Pretoria and Refuel’s Ricky Luntz and Craig Dogon are looking to expand to Cape Town and Durban.
By 2021, they also plan on expanding their fleet.
They told Business Insider SA:
“At the moment we only have the one truck that’s currently on the road and we’re busy with construction with our second one.”
“The idea during the course of next year is to expand the fleet to 10 in the first half of 2021 and potentially 10 after then, as demand grows at the rate that it has been,” Luntz said.
I can see some major benefits here if you forgot to fill up and are now stranded in the office parking lot.
Fuel costs the same as if you filled up at a petrol station, with the only added cost a R20 service fee.
That’s a small price to pay for convenience.
You can download it for Android and iPhone here.
This will pair perfectly with one of Seth’s favourite apps, MobeeWash.
With that app, you can schedule a car wash wherever you are, from the gym to your home. It will even send you a notification when your wash is done.
Once Refuel is rolled out nationwide, you’ll be able to fill up and drive home in a clean car without disrupting your life.
You can pretty much chill with a coffee and chalk it up to admin, without having to do actual admin.
Winning.
