Liberty Oil is an Australian fuel distributor and service station brand providing petrol, diesel, and convenience retail through a national network of outlets and bulk fuel services.
Liberty Oil is an Australian fuel distributor and service station brand headquartered in Melbourne, Victoria. Through a national network of Liberty-branded outlets and partner sites, they supply unleaded petrol, premium fuels, diesel, and LPG to retail motorists, commercial fleets, and rural customers. Many Liberty service stations also offer convenience store items, basic groceries, snacks and drinks, automotive products, and in some locations additional services such as car washes or trailer hire. They also provide bulk fuel deliveries and fuel card/charge account solutions for businesses and farmers across Australia.
A Liberty Oil charge may appear on your bank or card statement when you purchase fuel, in-store items, or related services at a Liberty-branded service station, or when using a Liberty or partner fuel card that is billed to your account. Transactions can include pay-at-pump fuel purchases, in-store payments, overnight/after-hours card transactions, and monthly invoicing for commercial or fleet accounts. You may also see temporary pre-authorisation holds when you pay at the pump (common fixed amounts such as AU$40–$150) that are later adjusted to the actual purchase total. Recurring or regular monthly charges usually relate to fleet/fuel card accounts or consolidated billing for business customers.
To verify a Liberty Oil charge, first match the transaction date and amount with recent fuel fills or in-store purchases, and check the location descriptor on your statement (it often includes the suburb or site name, e.g., “LIBERTY OIL GEELONG AUS”). Receipts can typically be reprinted or verified by contacting the specific service station you visited, or you can reach Liberty Oil via the contact details at libertyoil.com.au for account and billing support. If you suspect an error (wrong amount, duplicate charge, or an unrecognised transaction), contact the station or Liberty Oil support promptly, and if the issue is not resolved, follow up with your bank or card issuer to dispute or block the charge.

These are the raw merchant codes that appear on bank and credit card statements that we've identified as belonging to Liberty Oil.
Why do I see a Liberty Oil charge on my card when I only used pay-at-pump?
When you use pay-at-pump at a Liberty Oil service station, your bank may place a temporary pre-authorisation hold (often a fixed amount such as AU$40–$150) to confirm your card is valid. Once you finish fueling and the final amount is known, the actual purchase replaces this hold, and the unused portion is released by your bank. Depending on your bank, this release can take anywhere from a few minutes to several business days. If you see both the hold and the final charge, the hold should disappear automatically once it’s cleared.
Why is my Liberty Oil transaction amount higher than the fuel price I remember?
The total Liberty Oil charge may include both fuel and in-store items such as drinks, snacks, groceries, or car care products. In some locations, car wash services or other add-ons can also be included in the same transaction. Check your receipt for a line-by-line breakdown of what you purchased. If you cannot find your receipt, contact the station directly with the date, time, and last four digits of your card so they can look up the transaction.
Does Liberty Oil offer subscriptions or recurring billing, and why might I see monthly charges?
Most retail customers at Liberty Oil pay per visit and do not have any subscription or automatic recurring payment. However, business, agricultural, or fleet customers may have Liberty fuel cards or charge accounts that are billed periodically (often monthly) for all fuel and related purchases. These consolidated invoices can appear as regular Liberty Oil charges on a company or business card. If you’re unsure whether you or your business has such an account, contact your fleet manager, accounts department, or Liberty Oil via their website to confirm.
How can I dispute a Liberty Oil charge or request a refund for an incorrect amount?
If you believe you’ve been charged incorrectly by Liberty Oil, start by contacting the specific service station where the transaction occurred, as they can quickly check their point-of-sale records. Bring or provide the date, approximate time, transaction amount, and the last four digits of your card. If the station confirms an error, they can usually process a refund or adjustment back to your card. For unresolved issues or for fleet/fuel card billing disputes, use the contact form or phone details at libertyoil.com.au and then, if needed, raise a dispute with your bank or card issuer.
How do I get a copy of a receipt or tax invoice for my Liberty Oil purchase?
To obtain a copy of a receipt or tax invoice, contact the Liberty Oil service station where you made the purchase with the date, time, amount, and card type used. Many sites can reprint a receipt or issue a tax invoice based on their electronic transaction records. For business or fleet accounts, you can typically download invoices or statements through your account portal or request them from the Liberty Oil accounts team via the website. Keeping your receipts at the time of purchase is recommended, especially for business and fuel tax credit purposes.
I see multiple similar Liberty Oil charges on the same day—are these duplicates?
Multiple Liberty Oil charges on the same day can result from separate transactions, such as fueling two vehicles, making an additional in-store purchase, or splitting payments across cards. Sometimes an initial pre-authorisation at the pump and the final posted amount may both show as pending before the hold drops off. Check your receipts and your online banking over a few days to see whether any temporary authorisations disappear. If two identical charges remain posted after several business days and only one purchase was made, contact the station or Liberty Oil support and then your bank to investigate a possible duplicate.
How can I contact Liberty Oil about a mystery charge or account question?
For a specific transaction at a service station, your fastest option is to call or visit that station directly using the contact details typically listed on your receipt or by searching the site location on libertyoil.com.au. For broader billing, account, or fuel card enquiries, go to libertyoil.com.au and use the Contact or Customer Service section to submit a form or find the relevant phone numbers for head office in Melbourne. Provide as much detail as possible: transaction date, amount, card type, and any site information shown on your bank statement descriptor. Your bank or card issuer can also provide additional information like authorisation codes if Liberty Oil requests them.
Can I cancel or close a Liberty Oil fuel card or charge account to stop recurring charges?
If you have a Liberty Oil fuel card or business charge account and want to stop future billing, you’ll need to cancel the account through Liberty Oil rather than through your bank alone. Contact the Liberty Oil accounts or card services team via the details on your monthly statement or at libertyoil.com.au and request cancellation in writing if required. Once your account is closed and any outstanding balance is paid, new transactions should no longer be authorised on that card. Remember to destroy any physical cards and inform drivers or staff that the account is no longer active.
