At least one secure geographic location is specified, where payments within a payment system are to be authorized. An identifier of a vehicle is provided to the payment system. A connection is detected between a specific portable device and the vehicle, and a current geographic location of the portable device and/or the vehicle is also detected. The current geographic location is compared with the secure geographic location, and the granting of payment requests received by the payment system and relating to the identifier of the vehicle is authorized if the current geographic location is within or associated with the secure geographic location and if the connection between the portable device and the vehicle continues to exist.
