Fixed-price cards are especially designed for hauliers. A nationwide diesel price is set weekly, based on the 'bulk' market. This fixed 'bulk' or 'bunker' price is usually lower than pump-price and can offer significant savings on fuel costs for diesel fleets.
With pump-price cards cost savings come through other service benefits such as greater network coverage.
Fuel cards allow drivers to purchase fuel from stations across the UK, allowing you to manage the cost of your fleet and save on fuel.
Fuel cards are different from credit cards due to the convenient reporting. Fuel cards enable businesses to get real-time reports and set purchase controls in order to monitor exactly how much fuel is used and improve driver fuel consumption.
Some fuel cards offer discounted fuel.
Once you have your fuel cards, you simply fill up and present the fuel card to the cashier who will process the transaction. Then you will receive an invoice once a week (for the previous week’s transactions from all cards) and we will take the payment for this invoice 7 days later by Direct Debit.
Just some of the benefits of using fuel cards include:
There are numerous fuel cards on the market offering a range of benefits. To get the most out of a fuel card, you need to find the card that is best suited for your fleet. For example, a haulage company with five trucks operating in Yorkshire will require a different fuel card from a manufacturing company operating a mixed fleet of vans and cars across the UK.
Network size, pricing, online services, and additional services like dedicated account managers and fleet management reports are all key factors that will determine your choice of fuel card.
The EU Sixth VAT Directive requires all EU member states to levy VAT in the same way. Due to be implemented in the near future, this Directive will stop reclaiming VAT on invoices that are not in the registered company name.
UK companies can currently reclaim the VAT on many items – including fuel, which is usually invoiced to employees in the form of a till receipt. Once this Directive is introduced this will not be allowed, and potentially every litre of fuel will cost an additional 17.5%. This is a good reason for haulage firms to take a good look at their fuel management procedures and implement a VAT compliant solution.
Online account management allows you to access your account details 24/7, and includes services like requesting copy invoices, ordering new cards and downloading fleet management reports. These reports can be downloaded to incorporate into your own reporting system.
