Filld Review
Let The Gas Come To Your Car
It was super easy to get my tank filled and not have to leave my house 20 minutes earlier the next day.
Our reviewerGas Delivered To Your Driveway, No Detour Required
Filld sends a driver to fill your car wherever it's parked, matching the cheapest price among the nearest gas stations. Drivers go through TSA clearance, HAZMAT certification, criminal background checks and over 100 hours of training, and only 10% of applicants make it through.
Booking through the app was straightforward: enter your vehicle, pick a location, choose a time and submit payment. We scheduled a 6pm fill-up at home and pre-authorized $75, but were only charged $45 for the gas actually pumped.
The driver showed up on time, was friendly, and was in and out quickly with minimal disruption. It's the kind of convenience that's easy to get used to fast.
The only real risk is exactly that convenience: it's easy to lean on scheduled fill-ups and forget to think about gas at all, which is worth watching if you're prone to running the tank dry.
Filld isn't in every city yet, but it's expanding to Los Angeles, and where it operates, it delivers exactly what it promises.

- Service isn't available everywhere yet
Our Hands-On Review
The app walked through entering vehicle information, choosing a fill-up location (home, in this case), picking a 6pm time slot and submitting debit or credit payment. The whole booking process felt as simple as ordering food delivery.
A branded truck pulled up on schedule, and the driver hauled a hose to the car parked in the driveway. We had pre-authorized a $75 charge but only needed $45 worth of gas, and were billed for exactly that.
The entire visit took only a few minutes from arrival to the driver waving goodbye, with no need to leave the house or interrupt the evening.
A Little Too Convenient?
The biggest worry wasn't the service itself, but how easy it makes it to forget you ever need to think about gas, prompting a switch to regular scheduled visits rather than one-off fill-ups.
We Recommend This To Readers Who:
