What is a fuel card and how can it benefit my business?

Fuel cards are convenient way to pay for your business fuel. They allow you to buy fuel and charge it in a settled account with all purchases interest-free.

Fuel cards offer different pricing solutions, depending on what you require. Some fuel cards let you pay a fixed price which is calculated weekly, while others charge you the price displayed on the pump.

If you operate a fleet, you’ll be familiar with the impact that fuel management have on operating costs. Payment methods such as credit cards and petty cash are commonly used to buy business fuel, but they often come with endless administration and can only provide limited information about your fuel usage.

The main benefits of fuel cards are

Online reports for every fuel card, with information about date, time and place of each purchase. Increase control and reduce admin time.

Fixed weekly pricing on certain products, allows you to know exactly what you’ll pay, regardless of what the pump price displays. Fixed prices are closely linked to the wholesale fuel market, which means it often leads to a saving versus the pump price.

How do I find the right fuel card for me?

There is no a “one size fits all” solution when it comes to fuel cards, it really depends on what your needs and priorities are.

To help our customers find the right solution, we look at:

Location

It’s important to know what sites are located in your proximity, especially if your vehicles stick to the same routes or only use a handful of sites in scheduled locations.

Route

If your vehicles travel long distances or change route frequently, the last thing you want is driving out of your way to find sites that accept your fuel card.

If so, a multi-branded network will give you the freedom of filling up at a greater number of sites around the UK.

Vehicles

The type and number of vehicles means different requirements for your fleets.

For instance, HGVs can only access certain filling site that have truck friendly facilities (such as higher canopies and dedicated parking). If you run a HGV fleet, it’s important that these filling sites are included in your network.

Pricing

Some fleet cards let you pay a fixed weekly price to purchase diesel, which is usually cheaper than pump prices. Fixed price fuel cards can be a cost-effective solution especially if you buy high amount of fuel and you’re looking to reduce your expenses.

Pump price fuel cards are hassle-free and very easy to use, giving you excellent network coverage.
