How Fuel Cards Save Money

Fuel cards are a great alternative method for drivers and businesses to pay for their fuel. Companies simply issue each driver with their own card, they use it at the pump, and all costs are charged directly to the company – and everyone benefits as a result. Drivers always have easy access to fuel, companies have full visibility of what they’re spending, and the process is so much simpler. And one of the biggest fuel card benefits? They help save you money by making fuel purchasing more cost-effective. Keep reading to discover how your business can make fuel card savings – with a little help from Certas Energy.

Do fuel cards save you money? Yes – and this is how…

You might be wondering, are fuel cards worth it? But when you look at all the ways they can help you save, it’s clear to see why they’re such a popular payment option.

1. Full visibility of your spending: by bringing all fuel payments into one place, you can see exactly how much you’re using and everything you’re spending – making it easier to identify saving opportunities.
2. Valuable on-board telematics: FuelTrace is our own integrated on-board telematics solution, tracking vehicle and driver performance to pinpoint areas for cost reductions.
3. Insightful Fill Efficiency reports: this allows you to compare transaction values against tank capacity for each vehicle in your fleet – information that can be used to reduce the number of times drivers refuel. In turn, this helps to save time, drive efficiency and reduce dead mileage.
4. Saving staff resources: instead of dealing with expense receipts or individual credit card payments, your admin team have just one weekly invoice to deal with – maximising your staffing time.
5. Competitive bespoke pricing: as the UK’s largest independent fuel supplier, we’re part of a leading fuel card network – so can offer competitive pricing to suit your specific needs.

Who is a fuel saving card applicable for?

The Certas Energy Fuel Card is a great cost-saving solution for haulage companies, logistics firms, or any business that manages a medium-to-large fleet of HGVs or LGVs. Our fuel card isn’t designed for personal use and can only be used to pay for diesel – so businesses operating a fleet of cars or petrol-powered vehicles should look at other alternatives for a fuel-saving card.

We’re proud to be the UK’s largest distributor of fuels and lubricants – so we’re able to give you a host of other benefits on top of the cost savings.

• Enhanced security with FuelTapp: the UK’s first digital fuel card, eliminating cards or cash to protect against theft, loss or cloning.
• Certas Energy Extras: you’ll have access to discounts and cashback from some of the UK’s biggest brands, across a range of savings categories.
