Is the fuel card price cheaper than the pump price?

How does a fuel card give you access to cheaper fuel?

Fuel card prices are often cheaper than pump prices because the fuel card providers bulk buy their fuel. This allows them to negotiate lower rates and pass some of the savings on to their customers. 

How fuel cards save you money:

• Cheaper wholesale prices  
  Fuel card companies negotiate lower fuel prices through bulk purchasing. 
• Guaranteed lower-than-pump prices
  Many fuel card providers guarantee cheaper fuel than the standard forecourt price. 
• Fixed weekly rates
  Often fuel card providers set a fixed weekly price which helps protect against daily fluctuations. 
• Reduced admin costs 
  Not having to process receipts and expense claims saves businesses time and money. 
• Loyalty & network deals 
  Some fuel cards provide additional benefits and discounts at selected fuel stations. 

Fuel card savings can vary subject to the type of card and the card provider so it makes sense to shop around and compare deals. It can be quite complicated to work out which fuel card provider will offer you the best long-term savings.

You could consider discussing your requirements with a fuel card consultant to ensure you get the best, most appropriate fuel card for your business.
