How Do Fuel Cards Work?
Fuel Cards work by enabling individuals and companies to purchase fuel using a fuel card, instead of using cash or a credit/debit card. The company provides their 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.
