What are the benefits of using business fuel cards?
Business fuel cards offer benefits like fuel savings, detailed reporting for easy tracking, fraud protection and above all, convenience. They allow businesses to streamline outgoing expenses, monitor usage and enjoy discounts that help contribute to cost savings.
As well as being a simple payment solution for businesses looking to manage fleet expenses, businesses can easily order diesel or petrol, car care items and car washes at more than 3,600 stations nationwide with the fuelGenie+ package.
The Shell Go+ rewards programme, available for Shell business fuel card users as part of the same package, means easy collection of rewards using a phone, rewards card or fob. With access to more than 1,200 Shell stations and the ability to have one invoice for electric, petrol, and diesel vehicles, the Shell business fuel card offers a comprehensive set of services for convenience and cost control for businesses with up to 30 vehicles.
Each card is connected to the online platform which gives businesses greater control over monthly forecourt spend and helps operations teams monitor driver quality and fuel performance for increased efficiency and improved cash flow. No matter the size of your fleet, a Shell business fuel card is a valuable tool for managing expenses, reducing fuel costs, and maximizing rewards for best performance.
Partner stations also include Tesco, Morrisons and Sainsburys – and Texaco, Morrisons, Gulf, Gleaner, and Circle K in Northern Ireland – meaning your fleet has good accessibility on motorways, main transit routes and in various towns and cities. The in-app station locator feature helps them find the nearest station quickly and easily and includes more than 40,000 forecourt locations worldwide.
Do they only work with fuel purchases?
Shell cards also offer a convenient solution for electric charging, vehicle washes, lubricants, food and various on-road services with a single card. It works just like a credit card so by monitoring all transactions on one invoice, you can streamline your administration processes and keep track of your fleet's card transaction expenses online. Additionally, immediate access to manage card groups, add new users and easily assign specific cards for different types of purchases, complete card management by fleet managers is made even more efficient thanks to simple fleet management tools.
Additionally, card usage can be managed effectively by setting limits and restrictions, ordering new cards and customising pins to suit your business needs. Management is made easy with Shell Fleet Hub, allowing you to efficiently run your fuel account and make changes as and when they're needed.
The added access to Shell petrol stations means a Shell card gives drivers even more convenience and benefits, with . partner sites also offering additional services such as 24/7 access, convenient facilities and food and drink options.
