Moto to withdraw from truckstop scheme Snap

Motorway services company Moto is withdrawing from Snap, the parking and truck washing payment scheme.

Snap, which launched in November 2010,  is the creation of ETP Card Processing, the company behind Euro Truck Wash and Euro Truck Park. It claims to have 150 fleet operators in membership.

Under the scheme, operators register their vehicles online and the software allows them to determine how frequently their trucks can be washed, as well as managing parking fees.

Payment is similar to a solicitor's client account: the operator pays into the account on a weekly basis, which is held in trust and cannot be touched by anyone else. Snap provides a weekly invoice detailing transaction activity and the operator then tops up the account.

Moto, which will no longer accept Snap cards from the 1 September, has 57 locations and is the UK’s largest motorway services operator.

Chris Billing, Snap account director, says: “We have established alternative sites for the majority of Moto locations to enable our customers to continue to get the best from Snap; we have reached agreement with sites new to Snap including Newark Lorry Park, the A1 Truckstop at Colsterworth, M1 junction 23 Lorry Park & Wash, as well as sites in Belvedere in Kent, Havant and Portsmouth.”

For a special investigation into UK truckstops see Commercial Motor this week (11 August). You can also find where to park using our interactive truckstop map.
