What products can I purchase with a fuel card?

You can use your fuel cards to pay for a range of products depending on the purchase options you have chosen. Some fuel cards allow you to purchase fuels and lubricants, while others let you buy car wash credits and vehicle-related goods such as lubricants. Keep in mind that you can’t change the purchase on your card without having to re-issue it. If you’re not sure which option to pick, ask us.

Can I discuss my fuel card options with you before applying?

Of course! Our team will be happy to give you all the information you need and advise you on the best fuel card for your business. Simply provide some contact details through our card finder tool and we’ll be in touch.

Can I use a fuel card anywhere?

Your fuel card and its associated brand affect where it can be used. Some are relatively limited in where they can be used to purchase fuel, whereas others specialise in providing access to a wide variety of fuel stations. If you're unsure where you can use your fuel card or which fuel card will be of the most benefit to you, you can speak to one of our staff and find the right fuel card for you.

Can you use a fuel card for other things?

Some fuel cards allow you to make other purchases that are beneficial to your vehicles, such as lubricants, oils, AdBlue or other similar items. However, fuel cards can't be used to buy other products such as food or consumer goods; in fact, you should only be able to use a fuel card at a fuel station. If you're unsure what your fuel card can be used for, you can speak to one of our experts today.


Applying for a fuel card

How do I apply for a fuel card?

If you’re not sure which fuel card is right for your business, use our quick comparison tool and we’ll find the right card for you. One of our team can then give you a call back to discuss your options further. Alternatively, you can apply directly online.

I am a new business without any credit history, does that exclude me from getting a fuel card?

Not necessarily. We regularly review our credit policies approve more businesses.

Should I choose driver names or vehicle registrations for each card?

Driver names are most convenient if you change company vehicles regularly, or if your drivers use a range of vehicles. If your drivers change often, but you tend to keep the same vehicles, registration details on your fuel card work well.
