Bensiinijaamad

Bensiinijaamad, also known as petrol stations or gas stations, are retail sites that offer fuel for vehicles. These facilities are typically located along roadways and in urban areas to provide convenient access for drivers. The primary product sold at a bensiinijaam is motor fuel, most commonly gasoline (bensiin) and diesel (diisel). In addition to fuels, many bensiinijaamad also sell convenience items such as snacks, drinks, and automotive supplies.

Modern bensiinijaamad often feature multiple fuel pumps, allowing several vehicles to refuel simultaneously. Payment methods vary, with options including cash, credit cards, and mobile payment systems. Some bensiinijaamad are unattended, operating with automated payment systems, while others have staffed service areas. Beyond fuel and retail, some stations offer additional services like car washes, oil changes, and vehicle maintenance. The presence and design of bensiinijaamad are often regulated by local authorities concerning safety, environmental impact, and aesthetics. Their role is crucial for enabling transportation and supporting the economic activity associated with it.
