How do fuel cards work?

How do I use a fuel card?

Simple. Fuel cards work like any payment card: you fill up, then pay for your fuel at the kiosk with a chip and pin-protected card. But rather than the money being debited straight from your account, you’re invoiced monthly.

Who can use a fuel card?

Whether you operate a few vehicles or a fleet of thousands, fuel cards can drive real savings for your business. Not only do you get convenient access to cheaper fuel, but the advanced fleet management tools can help you improve operations and significantly reduce admin.

What can I pay for with a fuel card?

It depends on which fuel card you choose. With some, you can only pay for diesel and petrol while others include HVO and EV charging. With certain cards, you can also pay for handy items such as AdBlue, vehicle repairs, car washes, tolls, parking, roadside assistance and convenience store goods.

Where can fuel cards be used?

Fuel cards offer comprehensive network coverage in the UK, including in Northern Ireland. However, not every fuel card can be used at every station, as each card has a specific network. Some offer exceptional coverage, while others can tailor coverage to suit your needs. Most have a station finder app, making it easy for drivers to find stations on the go.
