Fuel cards offer a multitude of benefits for businesses, making them an essential tool for efficient fleet management. They offer competitive prices for fuel, simplified administration, enhanced security, and wide network accessibility.
There is a wide range of fuel cards to choose from, each with its own benefits. To help you decide, we’ve considered why you should choose a BP fuel card for your business.
Why BP?
BP fuel cards provide access to an extensive network of petrol stations across the UK, ensuring convenience and coverage for fleets.
There are 3 fuel cards to choose from:
- BP Flexi
- BP Bunker
- BP Fuel and Charge
These fleet cards come with a host of features designed to enhance efficiency, such as detailed reporting, and security measures to prevent misuse. Their competitive fuel prices are also an added bonus for businesses looking to save on their fuel expenditure.
BP fuel card benefits
Businesses who choose a BP fuel card can benefit from an expansive fuel and EV network and reduced costs. Due to their large coverage of petrol stations across the UK, they are a practical choice for fleets of all sizes.
Here are the main benefits of choosing a BP fuel card for your business.
Competitive pricing and discounts
Most of our BP fuel cards are offered at a fixed weekly rate which aims to save drivers money at the pump. You’ll receive price notifications every week by text or email, allowing you to monitor and control fuel expenditure.
Fuel cards are similar to credit cards, but they have no interest fees. Plus, with Right Fuel Card there’s no hidden costs or transaction fees, so you’ll know exactly what you’re spending every week.
With BPme Rewards, you’ll get exclusive savings at BP petrol stations. With every purchase, you’ll earn points which can be redeemed on fuel or within the shop. This helps you save money on essential items when you’re on the move.
Extensive fuel and EV network
The BP network contains thousands of participating sites across the UK, including all BP petrol stations. With the BP Flexi and BP Fuel and Charge cards, you can refuel at over 3,400 petrol stations. This includes hundreds of third-party sites such as Esso, Gulf, and Texaco.
The BP Bunker card is ideal for fleets with trucks or buses, as the network includes over 1,200 BP sites, including 600+ bunker sites located on motorways and major ‘A’ roads. All bunker sites are HGV-friendly with high canopies and high-speed pumps.
Drivers can use our handy site locator app to find local stations and plan routes.
For fleets transitioning to electric, the BP Fuel and Charge card is ideal as you can access over 12,000 public charge points. This ensures you're never more than 5 miles from a rapid or ultra-rapid charger (accurate for 70% of Great Britain).

Detailed reporting
Businesses can benefit from comprehensive reporting features via our 24/7 online account management system. This gives you an insight into your fuel consumption, helping you to track expenses and identify savings opportunities.
There’s no need for drivers to keep hold of their receipts, as you can see detailed transaction reports for each fuel card. This is particularly useful for mixed fleets as all transactions are displayed on one invoice, regardless of the type of fuel they used.
These reports are HMRC-approved, saving you time on admin and making it much easier for you to reclaim any VAT that’s owed to you.
Enhanced security and control
BP fuel cards have several card security features to protect your business from fuel card fraud. Each card is PIN protected, and you can create individual card profiles to notify you of irregular transactions through your BP account.
For greater control over fuel spend, you can also set spending limits for each fuel card and implement restrictions on what additional extras can be purchased, eg AdBlue, lubricants etc.
Businesses can receive security alerts via text or email, so you’ll know immediately when a card is being misused.
High quality fuels
BP offer a range of quality regular and premium fuels at their petrol stations, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency for all types of engines. Their Ultimate fuels with ACTIVE technology are specifically designed to improve engine performance by removing dirt and preventing its build-up.
If you’re looking to reduce maintenance costs and improve the efficiency of your vehicles, then the high quality of BP fuels could be the solution.
