With fuel prices continuing to fluctuate now is a good time to consider fuel cards. Whatever the size of your fleet we will help you find the best fuel cards for your business. But with so many different UK and Irish fuel card providers, how can you tell which is best? Continue reading to find out how.
Why Should I Use A Fuel Card?
A fuel card is a great way to control fuel spend, track fuel usage plus save money. The best fuel cards will make these benefits accessible at thousands of fuel stations nationwide.
Benefits for businesses include saving money as you can negotiate prices that may be cheaper than your local pump price. You can also control how much fuel each card can be used for, plus security is enhanced with PIN protection.
Fuel cards are also great for saving time. Invoices for HMRC (UK) and Revenue (Ireland) approved which removes the need to collect receipts and calculate expenses.
How To Choose A Fuel Card?
Whilst fuel cards will generally offer savings, there are many other factors that determine which fuel card is best for your business.
- Fleet Size: depending on your fleet size and type, you may require a fuel card that offers both local and nationwide fuel station access. Do you have HGVs? Then you may require access to motorway service stations.
- Fuel Type: if your fleet contains multiple fuel types then you will need a fuel card that provides fuel other than just diesel.
What Should I Consider When Choosing A Fuel Card?
Many fuel card providers will charge a fee to use them, usually on top of the cost of fuel which eliminates any potential saving. When choosing a fuel card you should find out if fuel card companies include the following:
- Network Service Fees
- Replacement Card Charge
- Change Of Details Fee
- Transaction Fees
What Is the Best Accepted Fuel Card?
Most fuel card providers will only be able to provide fuel cards in the country that they trade from. This is one thing that makes Fuelwise different to other fuel card providers. The Fuelwise Fuel Card can be used in both the UK and Ireland using one single card. Other fuel card providers will require separate fuel cards for each country.
- UK: access to over 4,400 fuel stations
- Ireland: access to over 1,750 fuel stations
