You have to check your car daily to see whether there is enough water and oil, as well as seeing the functionality of lights, tyre pressure and indicators and to check these, there petrol stations are spaced within 200Km.

Petrol stations are not hard to find although they are widely spaced a long major roads in almost every town. These petrol stations have good quality restaurants, toilet facilities and are open 24 hours for those moving for longer journeys. Other services may include washing your window, checking your oil, water and fill oil for your car. Besides, attendants do appreciate a small tip.
