They do on all gas stations in Germany!! I am German living in Germany, and I live in a small village. We have some surrounding villages with two gas stations - Avia and Aral. They both take credit cards and debit cards! And along the Autobahn you won't have a problem anyways! There you can even pay food with your credit card! |

The bigger chains do, but (at least in southern Germany) a lot of the independent stations do not. It's a good idea to look for the signs or ask before you get gas. |

Yes, they do. Some small independent stations may only accept debit cards, though... |

but a debit card will be accepted everywere, debit-cards are as widely used as credit-cards in the US |

On the Autobahn, yes. (There are every couple of miles gas stations). Make sure, you let your credit card company know, where you are going. Most large gas stations take your card, smaller ones maybe not. |

Credit cards are accepted almost everywhere, But let your CC company know what dates you will be out of the country. It let's them know that the charges are legit. |

Germany was using check cards and ATMs years before the U.S. Yes, they accept major U.S. credit cards; however, some might have issues since U.S. cards don't have the built-in microchip.
By the way, you have to have a chip card (euro card, VISA, Euro-Master card, etc.) to buy cigarettes out of a machine. The chip has personal data and verifies your age. |

That is true. But, not in Germany. |

The majority of stations take cards. Mastercard is more widely accepted in Germany then Visa...... that's just been my expeience. |

about ten years ago i was refused my visa for fuel in my friends small town but ever since it has been ok...i think they are cautious of foreign cards or at least were back then....i visit Graz Austria regularly and they will not accept my debit card in the store which i find odd....best to have some euro cash or one of each card just in case |
