You can ask your driver if they wil pass that spot or even go further. The second petrol-station is 30 km further just before the first exit to Amersfoort. You will find also good spots at the entries along the highway as there is often a rather large on-ramp that you can use to thumb drivers.

Your route is basically Apeldoorn - Hengelo - Bremen - Hamburg - . The most important petrol-stations are Kootwijk, near Apeldoorn, After Hengelo, Dammer Berge after the Osnabruck junction.

After you crossed the border near Hengelo the A1 (Netherlands) changes into the A30. You won't find any petrol stations for quite a while.
