I have just returned home from a trip to Hungary, taking in Germany Belgium,Austria, Italy, and France and I used the Credit card for all my fuel purchases. Both in pay booths and automatic serve yourself garages with prepay with the card, I never had a problem anywhere and all of the automatic pay pumps allowed me to select the language I wanted to use at the outset of the transaction one outlet did not start using the automatic pay with your card till 2. Pm on the day I was there and as it was earlier than that the attendant did a manual transaction for fifty Euros on my card and handed me the fifty Euros so I could insert the notes in the machine and get my fuel, so I fail to see how a previous poster could have had so many problems,perhaps it is down to how one approaches people in the first place.
