Fortnite cars guide - where to find them and how to drive

(Image credit: Epic Games)

Fortnite cars have now been around for a while, but they still remain the exclusive method of transport to effectively traverse the island on land, so the question of "where are the Fortnite cars" is one that often gets asked. Players also tend to look for advice on how to drive Fortnite cars once they've got hold of a vehicle, especially as the steering can be confusing if you're not used to the control scheme. On top of that, these motors need a supply of fuel to continue on their journeys, so knowing where to find Fortnite gas stations is essential for longer road trips. To help with all this, we've got information on how to find cars and drive them in Fortnite, including where the Fortnite gas station locations are to keep your motor running, in our complete Fortnite cars guide.

Fortnite cars locations

You can find Fortnite cars in many locations around the island, and while we've marked a decent number to get you started in a pinch, the map above is not intended to be exhaustive – you honestly won't have to look far when you're running around to find one. Don't be fooled by vehicles that have a wheel clamp attached, however, as these are fixed parts of the scenery and cannot be driven.

How to drive Fortnite cars

Fortnite cars work in the same way as the other vehicles in Fortnite, so approach one and interact to hop in, then you'll be able to switch seats at your leisure and ferry your teammates back and forth. The controls can take a bit of getting used to, as pushing up and down on the left stick affects acceleration and braking along with the pad triggers. Steering is controlled by pushing left and right on the left stick, but bear in mind that your vehicle will also try to drive in the direction the camera is facing so you can't look around you without changing your travel trajectory.

What Fortnite cars are available?

Currently there are four different types of Fortnite cars present in the game. According to the blurb, this is what you need to know about them:

Islander Prevalent - The spirit of responsibility
Victory Motors Whiplash - It's not just a name. It's a warning
Note - the Whiplash has now been replaced by the Fortnite Ferrari
OG Bear - Don't poke the bear
Titano Mudflap - Own the road

These Fortnite cars also have built-in radio stations to listen to a variety of music, including licensed tracks and general Fortnite themes.

How to fit off-road tires on Fortnite cars

You can find Fortnite off-road tires as floor loot in various places around the island, and if you visit a gas station then you're very likely to find some in the area. Once you have your new wheels in your inventory, simply throw them at one of the Fortnite cars to expand its tires into chonky alternatives, which allow you to drive over most obstacles and scale almost vertical cliffs.

Fortnite gas station locations

Fortnite cars require gas in order to keep driving, which means that the Fortnite gas stations play an important role. We've marked all of the Fortnite gas station locations on the map above, and here is a list of where you'll find them:

West of Holly Hedges
West side of Believer Beach
East side of Boney Burbs
East side of Pleasant Park
South of Craggy Cliffs
West of Steamy Stacks
East of Corny Crops
South of Corny Crops
North of Sludgy Swamp
West of Misty Meadows
West side of Lazy Lake
South of Catty Corner

To refuel Fortnite cars, simply park up close to one of the Fortnite gas pumps then get out and interact with it – this allows you to squirt fuel straight at the vehicle to fill it. If you're carrying a gas can then you use that in the same way, and if you approach a gas pump with it equipped the prompt will let you refill the can.
