Get in TouchHow do fuel cards work?
Fuel cards are an alternative payment method that allow drivers and businesses to efficiently manage transportation costs. Fuel cards don’t work like credit or debit cards as they’re not used to pay for fuel directly. In fact, all drivers need to do is present their fuel card to fill up and be back out on the road.

Why choose a Certas Energy Fuel Card?
When you’re running a business that relies heavily on fuel, staying on top of expenditure and consumption is the key to success. That’s why we developed our Certas Energy Fuel Cards – to give fleet managers the insight and visibility they need to oversee fleet fuel spend and ensure consistent access to high-quality fuel that maximises output and efficiency.
How do Certas Energy Fuel Cards work?
If you’re wondering how to use a fuel card, each driver is given their own fuel card with unique identifiers. This means that any fuel they purchase on the road can be traced back to them. Drivers simply top up their tank at a Certas Energy refuelling site, or another site that accepts the Certas fuel card, with diesel, HVO (at selected sites) or AdBlue®, then pay using their Certas Energy Fuel Card. You can find all the refuelling sites your drivers can use across the UK here.
Certas Energy then sends weekly fuel card invoices to fleet managers, minimising the time managers need to spend managing company credit cards or lengthy expenses processes. With this ability to track spend, set spending limits, regulate usage, and file expenses, fuel cards provide an easy way for drivers to top up their fuel and provide peace of mind to businesses, no matter how many vehicles they have in their fleet.
Also, as all Certas Energy Fuel Cards are pin-protected, any cards that are reported lost or stolen can be instantly blocked. Our dedicated support team will contact you if there is any suspicious behaviour and purchasing restrictions can be placed on each card to reduce the chances of misuse.
In addition, by using the Certas Energy fuel cards app, which can be downloaded for free via Google Play or the Apple app store, drivers can search for refuelling sites according to their requirements and get access to fuel card information and driver loyalty benefits.
