How to use an Esso fuel card

With one of these cards, you can save money on fuel and simplify administration for your business. You can also access a range of other benefits which are exclusive to Esso fuel card users.

Using an Esso fuel card is simple. All you need to do is find your nearest Esso petrol station using our handy site locator app and then refuel your vehicle as normal. You’ll then go into the kiosk and pay using your fuel card.

Fuel cards are PIN-protected and have several other security features, helping to minimise the risk of fuel card fraud.

With the Esso Commercial card, you’re not restricted to fuel purchases. You can use it as payment for AdBlue, lubricants and car washes, however, it’s important to note that surcharges do apply for these additional products.

Managing your Esso fuel card

The Esso Commercial card gives you access to a fixed weekly price for Esso Synergy standard diesel at all Esso fuel stations. Price notifications will be sent via text or email so your drivers will always know what they’re paying at the pump. This allows you to easily track your fuel expenditure and can save your fleet money.

Businesses can utilise our online account management system to ensure optimal use of their fuel card and improve fleet efficiency. Through this 24/7 system, you can monitor all fuel card transactions, create tailored reports, and download invoices.
