Petrol (gas) stations can be found at regular intervals (some stay open 24-hours), but aim to keep the petrol tank filled up to avoid running out of petrol late at night or in remote areas. For your safety, avoid driving in remote areas at night and always park in a designated, well-lit area. When leaving your car, lock valuables in the boot instead of leaving them where they are clearly visible.
