Recipients of Greece's Fuel Pass program have a limited time to utilize their digital voucher, with July 31 marking the final deadline for its use. After this date, any unused funds will be automatically returned to the Greek state, and the prepaid digital card will be deactivated.
The amount of financial assistance provided through the Fuel Pass is determined by several factors, including the type of vehicle, the chosen method of payment, and the location of the beneficiary's primary residence. This tiered system aims to provide targeted support based on regional differences and vehicle usage.
For car owners, the subsidy amounts differ significantly. Those residing in the North Aegean, South Aegean, Ionian Islands, Crete, and specific island prefectures like Sporades, Thassos, Skyros, Samothraki, and Ammouliani can receive 60 euros if they opt for a digital debit card. However, if they choose to have the amount credited to a bank account, the subsidy is reduced to 50 euros. For car owners in the rest of Greece, the digital card subsidy is 50 euros, dropping to 40 euros for bank account transfers.
Similar variations apply to owners of motorcycles and mopeds. Residents in the aforementioned island regions and the island prefectures of Attica can receive 35 euros via a digital card, or 30 euros if deposited into a bank account. For motorcycle owners in mainland Greece, the digital card subsidy is 30 euros, and 25 euros for bank account transfers. All beneficiaries are urged to use their remaining balance before the July 31 deadline to avoid losing the funds.
