Quick answer: At Gulfsafes, a gas station counter-plus-drop-safe setup starts at SAR 7,935 incl. VAT (Fin-3100 counter with a Valberg ASD-19EL drop safe). A station with a shop and mixed attendant pouches needs a value counter: the CX-7500 with an ASD-32 EL safe costs SAR 9,775. A 24-hour highway station with a Kisan K2, a time-delay DSC 67 KK safe and a coin counter costs SAR 25,300. Delivery is free across Saudi Arabia, with mada, Apple Pay and Tamara.
Fuel stations handle cash differently from shops. Several attendants carry their own pouches, every shift ends with a handover, notes come back stained with fuel, and cash builds up at night. The counter makes handovers fast and provable; the drop safe keeps the cash off the forecourt.

Drop safe prices for gas stations (2026)

Why the time-delay safe matters at night
The DSC 67 KK costs SAR 5,980 more than the ASD-32 EL because its electronic lock can be set to open only after a delay. If someone forces a cashier to open the safe, they have to wait, which makes the station a poor target. For stations open through the night, that delay is worth more than the extra steel.
A 7-step attendant shift handover
- Print the shift report from the pump and POS system for the outgoing attendant.
- Empty the pouch on the counting desk in front of both the attendant and the supervisor.
- Run the notes through the value counter in one stack, or by denomination on a sheet counter.
- Check any rejected note by hand against SAMA's published security features, and record suspect notes with the attendant's name.
- Count the coins on the coin counter.
- Compare the total with the shift report. Both people sign the count sheet, including any difference.
- Drop the takings into the deposit safe straight away. Keep only the agreed float for the next shift.
Keeping the counter working with fuel-stained notes
- Brush the sensors and rollers daily, and follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions weekly.
- Keep the counter in the office, away from fuel fumes, dust and direct sun.
- Flatten rolled notes before counting.
- Let a 1+1 machine such as the Kisan K2 set very dirty notes aside instead of stopping.
Payment, delivery and warranty
- All prices include 15% VAT, with a VAT invoice in your company name.
- Free door-to-door delivery across Saudi Arabia on orders over SAR 1,000.
- Pay with mada, Apple Pay, Visa or Mastercard, or in instalments with Tamara (subject to Tamara approval).
- Kisan models carry a 2-year warranty; the Fin-3100 comes with a 1-year full guarantee. Support in Riyadh, Jeddah, Dammam, Al Khobar, Makkah and Madinah.

Frequently asked questions

At Gulfsafes, from SAR 3,335 (Fin-3100) to SAR 6,670 (Kisan K2) incl. VAT. With a drop safe, a complete setup starts at SAR 7,935.
What is the best money counter for a gas station?
The Fin-3100 for a single forecourt with sorted cash, the CX-7500 for a station with a shop and mixed pouches, and the Kisan K2 for busy highway stations and multi-site operators.
How much is a drop safe for a gas station?
From SAR 4,600 for the Valberg ASD-19EL or DS-20, SAR 5,175 for the ASD-32 EL, and SAR 11,155 for the time-delay DSC 67 KK, all including VAT.
Does a gas station need a time-delay safe?
For 24-hour and highway stations, yes. A time-delay lock such as the DSC 67 KK's makes anyone forcing the safe open wait, which deters robbery at night.
Can a money counter handle fuel-stained notes?
Mostly yes, if the sensors are cleaned daily. The Kisan K2 drops notes it cannot read into its reject pocket instead of stopping.

Yes. All prices shown include 15% VAT, and every order comes with a VAT invoice.
