1. Cheaper Fuel
Whether you have a small or large fleet, or do a lot of mileage, you can benefit from reduced fuel costs which will have a direct impact on your profit margin. With access to thousands of sites your drivers will no longer have to deviate to other fuel stations that are miles away. You also benefit by receiving fuel prices that are more competitive than your local fuel stations.
Fuelwise is completely free to join meaning you don’t need to worry about any additional costs when you choose Fuelwise Fuel Cards.
2. Simplified Accounting
A fuel card helps to reduce fleet management admin time due to the simplifying your accounting process. You will no longer have to collect receipts to calculate fuel expenditure as you will receive a weekly invoice. This invoice will break down transactions for every fuel card and is ready for VAT reclaim immediately. This will help to save your business time and money, which can be used more efficiently in other areas of your business.
3. More Control
Essential to any small business is keeping expenditure under control and cash flow. A small business fuel card will provide you with more control over costs in a number of ways. You can limit the products your drivers can purchase with their fuel card. Limits can also be placed on the cards, either by the amount of litres available to purchase or the number of transactions that can take place. This gives control back to the business owner, all of which are not available when using cash or credit cards.
4. Site Locator
With thousands of sites there is a lot of choice when it comes to using your fuel card. As time is precious you don’t want your drivers wasting time looking for a fuel station. We provide you with an Fuel Card Site Locator and mobile app that makes searching for any of our 6,000 plus sites extremely easy.
Your drivers can download our app to their phone, helping them to find fuel stations as and when they need them.
