Once you find a car, go up to it and press 'E' to enter it. After getting inside, you will see the speedometer on the bottom right corner of your screen, and the vehicle's controls are at the bottom left.

However, do note that not all cars in Fortnite are drivable, as some have a yellow clamp obstructing the tyres, showcasing that the vehicle cannot be driven. These can instead be farmed by players to earn metal materials in-game.

How to refuel cars in Fortnite

Cars can be refueled at gas stations on the Fortnite map

Driving cars is fun until your fuel comes down to 0, and if you have to abandon your precious vehicle in the middle of your journey. Thus, always check your fuel meter while driving and do not boost until necessary, so that you save fuel.

However, if you are low on fuel, you can always visit the various gas stations that are marked on your minimap whenever you get inside a vehicle. You can visit these in-game locations and refuel your car and continue your journey. Players can also refuel their cars using jelly cans, which can be carried in their inventories.
