Find out what it was
- 1
Read the words after RONTEC: they are usually the station's town or road, cut short, so match them with a place you drove through or stopped at.
- 2
Think of the brand on the sign rather than Rontec: the pumps may have said Esso, BP or Shell and the shop Shop'n Drive or Morrisons Daily.
- 3
Compare the date and time in your banking app with a journey or a stop on the road that day.
- 4
Ask anyone who shares your card or car whether they stopped at a petrol station that day.

Not in any of your accounts? If nobody in your household made it, someone else may have used your card details. Your card issuer can stop the card, so the charges do not continue.
Why does it say “RONTEC”?
Rontec runs the forecourts, while the pumps carry the Esso, BP or Shell name and the shop on site is often a Shop'n Drive or a Morrisons Daily. Card payments at its stations carry Rontec's own name, so the statement shows RONTEC followed by the station's name, usually a town or road and often cut off mid-word, such as RONTEC HEDNESFORD or RONTEC CLAYTON ROA.
Public card records file these lines as service station payments, for amounts from a few pounds to more than a hundred. Rontec does not publish its statement names, so it is not known whether its car washes and electric car chargers show the same RONTEC line.
Why you might see this charge
- Fuel at an Esso, BP or Shell station that Rontec runs.
- Food, drinks or groceries from the Shop'n Drive or Morrisons Daily shop on the forecourt, including the Costa, Greggs or Subway counters in some Shop'n Drive stores.
- Possibly a wash at a wash'n drive car wash or a session at a CHARGE rapid charger for electric cars, both paid by tapping a card on site.
- Someone else who uses your card stopping for fuel or snacks on a trip.
Is RONTEC legit?
Yes. Rontec Roadside Retail Limited is a UK company registered in London that runs more than 260 forecourts across England and Wales, with its own Shop'n Drive shops, Morrisons Daily stores, wash'n drive car washes and CHARGE electric car chargers. A RONTEC line is a normal payment at one of its stations, whatever fuel brand is on the sign.
If you stopped for fuel or a coffee that day, the line is very likely your own purchase. Texts or emails that ask you to confirm a fuel payment through a link are something else; check the amount against your own receipts and banking app.
