You can purchase money orders at most Speedway locations for a fee ranging from around $1.60 to $1.70 per $500.[1][2]
However, there are a few things to keep in mind before you buy. Below, I detail Speedway’s money order policy, including limits, requirements, payment information, and the issuer.
Speedway Money Order Policy
Most Speedway stations sell money orders. Not all locations offer this service, though, and no Speedways cash money orders.[1][2]
You can find out if your local Speedway sells money orders by visiting the Speedway store locator. Once you find your location, check the “Amenities” section to see if “Money Orders” is listed.[3]
I contacted Speedway gas stations in California, Florida, and Kentucky to gather more information about its money order policy.
Fees and Limits
Speedway charges a fee of around $1.60 to $1.70 per $500 money order. The maximum purchase limit may vary by location but is generally $1,900 per day.[1]
Speedway charges a separate fee for each money order up to $500.[1]
So, for example, if you buy $1,900 in money orders, Speedway will print four money orders (three worth $500 and one worth $400). You’ll pay a fee for each one, totaling about $6.40 to $6.80 in fees.
Requirements
You don’t need to present an ID to purchase a money order at Speedway.[1]
However, you can only pay with cash at some locations and cash or a debit card at others. You can’t purchase money orders from Speedway with a credit card or personal check.[1][2]
Tip: If you need to get cash to pay for your money order, an ATM is available inside each Speedway station. Withdrawal fees and limits vary by location; however, its ATMs typically charge $2 to $3 to withdraw cash in increments of $400.[1]
Issuer
Speedway may offer Western Union or MoneyGram money orders, depending on the location.[1][2][4]
The best way to determine which issuer your local Speedway uses is to contact the store.[1]
Alternatives
Speedway might not have the lowest fees or highest limits for money orders in your area.
