How Do Fuel Cards Work?

Fuel Cards work by enabling individuals and companies to fill up at fuel stations on the site network. Rather than using cash or a credit/debit card, the company provides the driver with a fuel card which they present to the cashier. The company is then billed at a later date by the fuel card provider.

“Fuelwise is very customer focused and were able to provide what I needed for this project where others couldn’t. The e- Route app helps our engineers find Core sites instead of Non-Core sites which helps with efficiencies and cost savings. Velocity is well managed, and I can create plenty of reports and my Account Manager is always on hand to help. With GPS Tracking built into Velocity I can view distance travelled, speed etc. and driver contact details without having to open another system.”
