What is a Fuel Card?
A fuel card is an alternative method of payment for drivers that enables owners or managers to track spend, limit usage and help improve the management of your vehicles.
We have been providing fuel cards and telematics solutions to thousands of companies across the UK and Ireland for over 30 years. The Fuelwise fuel card is accepted at over 4,600 sites across Ireland and the UK, including leading brands such as Circle K, Maxol, Texaco, Top, Esso and motorway Applegreen sites, many which are HGV friendly and operate 24-hour opening hours.
