Most Tesco petrol stations are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, though some smaller Tesco Express forecourts follow the store's trading hours. Opening times vary by location, so it's worth checking your specific station before you travel.
Typical Tesco Petrol Station Opening Hours
Tesco Extra and Superstore:
Petrol stations attached to larger Tesco Extra and Superstore sites are most commonly open 24/7, making them a reliable option for early-morning or late-night fill-ups.
Tesco Express forecourts:
Smaller Tesco Express-linked stations typically operate during store hours, which are usually around 6am–11pm but vary by location.
Bank holidays and Sundays:
On bank holidays and Sundays, some Tesco forecourts may operate reduced hours even if they are normally 24/7. Always check ahead on those days.
Why Hours Vary Between Tesco Stations
Store format matters:
Tesco operates several store formats — Extra, Superstore, Metro, and Express — and the petrol station hours typically mirror the format's trading pattern.
Over 600 Tesco forecourts in the UK:
Tesco is one of the UK's largest petrol station operators, with more than 600 forecourts nationwide, meaning there is usually one within a short drive regardless of the time.

Supermarket fuel is consistently competitive:
Tesco regularly prices petrol and diesel among the cheapest available, using fuel as a footfall driver. RAC Fuel Watch data consistently shows supermarket forecourts offering below-average pump prices.
