You sit in traffic. You accelerate forward. You sit again. Stop, start, stop start... it’s eating fuel, costing you money and you’re going nowhere!
Every satnav gets you there, but by giving you a smarter and faster route every time, TomTom ensures you spend less time waiting around, and less money on fuel. We also help you save money avoiding Safety Camera fines. And with fuel prices always rising, we’ve got a special feature to reveal the cheapest petrol station nearby.
It all adds up. Just think how much you could save over the course of a year!
The smartest route is also the cheapest
Choosing the wrong route can really add to the cost of your journey. If your engine is idling in traffic, you waste fuel – and if you hit a congested road, the ‘stop-and-go driving’ can also take a lot out of your tank.
A TomTom GPS with IQ Routes™ and HD Traffic™ gives you the most efficient route and can decrease your fuel consumption up to 15% compared to a satnav with standard traffic information (TMC)*.

Stay informed, save money
Do you know the cheapest place to re-fuel near you? What about when you’re away from home? TomTom always knows! Prices vary by around 10 cents a litre, so our Fuel Prices service can save in the region of €300 for someone driving 50,000 km in a year.*
Plus, because speed limits are not always clear, TomTom Safety Alerts tell you if there’s a safety camera ahead (just in case). So you’re better informed, and always better off.
*Explanation: Based on an average distance of up to 50,000km per year and saving up to € 0.10 per litre (Navx Gas Price Statistics, Summer 2008). Fuel consumption of 1 litre per 15.87 km (EU average, 2008, Paris Motor Show report).
Get the fastest route any time of day
The shortest distance is not always the fastest. Traffic lights, crossings, rush hour... all these hidden factors can really slow you down. That’s why we’ve developed IQ Routes™ - By introducing real average speeds measured on the roads to our maps, you get a faster route to your destination in 35% of the time compared to satnavs without our unique IQ Routes™ technology*.

Beat the traffic
We’ve all been there. You hear news on the radio of a traffic jam on your route... just as a sea of red brake lights appears in front of you. But TomTom can keep you out of a jam! Only TomTom HD Traffic™ gives you the most accurate traffic information with traffic updates every three minutes – and more road coverage (including motorways and secondary roads) than anyone else. In fact, HD Traffic™ is the most sophisticated traffic information service currently available on the market in the countries where it is active*.
*For example: in the Netherlands, HD Traffic has up to five times more updates and up to ten times more road coverage than other providers.

With more vehicles on the road, and increasing pressure to go faster, drivers need to be safety conscious.
