This is a question that we at FuelCards.com get asked frequently, which is why we’ve devised this helpful guide which outlines how they work and how you, as a business, could benefit from using them.

Fuel cards are well suited for businesses who provide their employees with corporate transportation, or who give their employees a mileage allowance; especially as it can be difficult for such businesses to keep track of their outgoing expenditures and monitor their fuel consumption. However, with a fuel card, your employees will be able to fill up with petrol or diesel using the card. The money is then drawn from the business account and a monthly invoice will detail who filled up where, and how much they filled up by. This should indicate how fuel efficient your fleet is, and give you more control on how much is being spent on fuel.

There are many types of fuel cards; those which are used solely in the UK, Ireland or throughout Europe. As you can see, we have a collection of fuel cards to meet the demands of your business, allowing you keep a tight reign over your expenditures both in the UK and abroad.

It’s important that you give your employees the opportunity to be able to fill up on fuel when needed, but giving them cold hard cash is risky and the cost of giving them a fuel allowance could work out to be more expensive. To give your employees a pleasant driving experience without worrying about fuel, and to give you complete control over your outgoings, you should get in touch with FuelCards.Com to find out more about the fuel cards we provide.

Savings

An importance to every business will be how much is spent on fuel and how this can possibly be cut down. At times, cutting the amount spent on fuel can seem impossible as prices keep going up and up while your need to stay out on the road is getting even greater. Our selection of fuel cards will be catered to your needs, use of petrol or diesel and offer fantastic fixed weekly prices which can save you up to 5p per litre at the pump – adding up to a substantial saving when used each day of the week and across a large fleet of vehicles that constantly need to be filled up.

A Wide Network of Stations

Unlike other cards that can only be used in certain areas and end up being of no real use to you or your company, the fuel cards we can supply are established within a large site network within the United Kingdom, Ireland and Europe (depending on your needs of use) so that you can use them wherever you go. For instance – if you travel regularly in the UK, our cards are accepted at no less than 1,500 sites nationwide.

Clear Overview

Whether you’re operating a single truck or a large fleet, fuel cards are a great way to not only save on your fuel consumption, but gain an in-depth overview of it too – enabling you to use your monthly invoice to analyse vehicle performance in terms of consumption and mileage.

Other benefits of our many fuel cards include being tailor made to the driver using the card, the ability to suit every business and the overall ease of use it provides you with. Make sure to get in touch with us to find out everything you need to know.

Sometimes referred to as fuel credit cards, these actually work differently to a normal credit card, because only fuel (and some other motoring) purchases can be made. Another major difference is that there are no interest charges, but payments must be made at the end of each period for the amount on the account. There are still the same advantages of a credit card for the holder, in that they won’t have to carry cash on them, making it safer for them and easier for you to keep track of your accounts. Your employees will no doubt also be grateful that they won’t have to run up their own credit card debts and interest because their expenses haven’t been paid on time.

We have a range of international and UK cards available, each with their own benefits, including specific petrol or diesel only cards.

Company fuel cards can make life easier for your employees in other ways too. Every purchase is recorded to your online account, which you can view at any time. This means that your staff won’t have to keep hold of receipts and spend company time filling in expense claims (as well as no one then having to go through these claims). You can also view each card separately, so you can instantly see what is being spent where and by whom.

Another advantage for your employees is security. Business fuel cards are PIN protected just like a credit card, so can’t be used by anyone else, plus your staff no longer need to carry cash around with them, which is obviously easier to steal. What’s more, we also have international cards which can be used across Europe, so you won’t need to worry about getting foreign currency either.
