Struggling to know where you can use fuel cards? This post will help answer your questions.
The fuel stations that you require will depend on your vehicle type and where you are. You may need refueling sites that are regional or national, or you may drive a HGV that requires more space or have canopy height restrictions.

Inner City
If your fleet consists of mostly vans and cars that travel locally then you have an excellent choice of sites. The Fuelwise Network consists of large supermarket brands that are present in every town and city in the UK and Ireland, with fuel card locations in 95% of UK Post Codes. An added bonus is that some of these supermarkets allow you to claim your points when using your fuel card. There is also a large selection of fuel stations and independents sites available.
Motorways
If you are travelling across the country then you will likely want to use Motorway Service Stations. Not only can you purchase fuel, but most service stations provide additional facilities such as food outlets, toilets and washing facilities. This is great for HGV drivers who can park overnight in a safe location. They are perfect for sticking to deadlines as your drivers don’t need to travel into towns or cities to refuel.
HGV Sites
When operating HGVs, having access to fuel sites right across the country is vital. HGV sites are strategically placed on major trunk roads and provide great convenience. As you will need to take into consideration driver hours, it’s important to search for sites that can provide parking and overnight facilities. They will also have higher canopies that HGVs can fit below. There are over 1,500 fuel stations across the UK and Ireland with HGV facilities that accept Fuelwise Fuel Cards and E-Route includes a HGV Site Locator.
