Parking and fuel bots in Telegram show fuel prices near you, pay for street parking or point you to a car park. They save a detour to a pricier station, but only where their data comes from: each one covers a single country or city.

A bot gets into this rating when its Telegram page is a live bot and the operator's website links to it, so we know who runs it. The bot or its site also has to say where its prices or parking data come from and which country it covers. Features and pricing come from the operator's site; we did not run the bots' commands by hand. Scores favour official data sources, no ads and a clear statement of coverage.
A price bot is only as good as its source. The most reliable ones read an official registry where stations have to report their prices, and their website says so along with how often the data refreshes. Others rely on drivers reporting what they saw at the pump, which works on busy roads and goes stale on quiet ones. Either way you pay what the pump shows, so on a long trip treat the bot as a shortlist and check the station chain's own app before a detour. A bot that names neither its source nor its country gives you nothing to check.
Parking is where a careless tap costs money. Pay through a bot only when the city or the car park operator links to it from its official website. A QR sticker on a parking meter, or a link in a group chat that asks for your plate and card number, is a classic fake: close it and use the operator's app. Live counts of free spaces exist only in garages and car parks with sensors or entry gates, so on the street expect zones, rates and rules rather than a specific empty spot.
Fuel and parking data is local: each service reads one country's price registry or one city's parking zones. The only bot we have verified so far covers petrol stations in Spain and answers in Spanish, so it appears on the Spanish version of the site. We add bots to this page when the operator confirms the bot on its own website and the bot works in English. If you know one, suggest it through the form.
Only if the city or the car park operator runs the bot and links to it from its official website. A bot you reached through a QR sticker or a random link that asks for your plate and card details is a reason to stop; use the official app instead.
Treat them as a guide, not a quote: prices usually come from public sources or driver reports and update with a delay. You pay what the pump shows, so before a long trip check the station chain's own app or website.
Rarely with precision. Live free-space counts exist only where the operator tracks them with sensors or entry gates, mostly in garages and mall car parks. On the street a bot more often shows zones, rates and rules than a specific empty spot.
