Petrol holding fees are temporary charges that are placed on your YouTrip card when paying for petrol. Its sole purpose is to ensure that you have a sufficient amount of funds available in your account to be able to pay for the petrol you\u2019re about to pump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the petrol station has no way of knowing how much you\u2019ll pump and doesn\u2019t want to risk the possibility of you pumping more petrol than you can afford, it places a temporary hold on your account for an amount that\u2019s a tad higher than the average cost of filling up a car\u2019s petrol tank<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does This Mean I\u2019ll Be Charged Twice For Petrol If I See Two Transactions On My YouTrip Card?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

No, you won\u2019t be charged twice<\/span> for petrol! This pre-authorised transaction is just a temporary hold on your account. The actual charge for petrol will be processed once you’ve finished pumping. This will replace the pre-authorisation transaction on your account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
