Are there any places where you can, for example, just tank up and drive

You would, naturally, need an account and would have to insert a card
into the pump for identification and to release the pump.

In the U.S. that's pretty common and known as fleet fueling. There's two flavors
- one is a private fueling center, the other uses standard retail fueling sites.
Both require the use of a card similar to a credit card. The price per unit can
be negotiated independently of the posted retail price, or based on a percentage
(+/-) of the current retail price.

Tescos in UK have a facility to "Pay at Pump" You insert your credit
card and enter PIN and then fill up and drive off.
