How to apply for a fuel card
A fuel card helps to save your business money and time.
Applying for a fuel card with Right Fuel Card is a straightforward way to unlock fleet fuel savings across UK stations, including BP, Shell, Tesco, Esso and supermarket forecourts.
Whether you’re a sole trader, SME, or large fleet manager, our application process is quick, flexible, and tailored to your business needs, with options like RightPay, our pay-as-you-go fuel card, for those without a credit history.
Apply for a fuel card in three easy steps...
Tell us about your business
The right fuel card for your business will depend on your fuel and charging needs, so we ask a few questions about how you currently manage your fuel spend. These include your vehicle types, fuel types, how much you spend on fuel each month and if you have any preferred sites to fuel up.
If you’re unsure, talk to us!
It’s easy to apply for your fuel card online if you know the right one for your business, but if you’re still unsure, even after comparing our fuel cards online, then speak to a member of our team. We’ve advised thousands of businesses on the best fuel card for their business.
Easily apply for your fuel card
The easiest way to apply for your fuel card is online, but our team will happily guide you through an application over the phone if you’d prefer. The information is a little different depending on whether you are a sole trader or a limited company.
Step 1: Your business needs
Start by telling us about your vehicles and fuel or EV charging requirements. Whether you operate a single van, a mixed fleet of HGVs, or electric vehicles, our fuel card comparison tool takes under 2 minutes to match you with the perfect fuel card or EV charge card.
Tell us details about your fleet, such as:
Vehicle types (car, van, HGV, or mixed fleet)
Fuel type (diesel, petrol, or EV charging)
Estimated monthly fuel spend
Preferred station brands (e.g., BP, Shell, Esso, Texaco or supermarket sites)
These details help us recommend cards, ensuring maximum fleet fuel savings.
Start your application to find the right card for your business.
