Sales reps, trade experts, support workers and estate agents. What do they have in common? They all rely on travelling by road to keep their company ticking over. But for individuals, small businesses or fleets that clock up considerable miles, petrol and diesel can be a huge financial burden. Any tools and products that can simplify costs and admin will help companies gain an advantage. That’s why all kinds of operations benefit from our fuel cards. Whether it’s a simple and free tool like fuelGenie, an enhanced low-cost option like fuelGenie+ or even a combination of the two. It’s time to weigh up the benefits and decide which works best for your business.
Find your perfect fuel card solution
fuelGenie
What is fuelGenie?
fuelGenie is our original free fuel card. Launched way back in 2009, it’s been helping businesses of all sizes and their drivers ever since. It’s free to apply, free to use and you can order an unlimited amount of fuel cards.
Who does it work best for?
As it’s 100% free, it acts as the perfect tool for any company just starting out, those with one or two local drivers or any organisation who wants to keep costs down.
What are the benefits?
The main benefit is drivers can fill up at the network of supermarket petrol stations which means business owners know they’re making the most of low-cost prices – saving over 3p per litre compared to national average*. There’s a whole host of additional benefits that simply admin and costs too:
- No account fees, card fees or hidden surcharges
- Access low-cost supermarket pump prices at Tesco, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s
- Save admin time and claim VAT back easily with HMRC compliant invoices
- Easily manage your account online or in-app at any time with 24/7 access
- Drivers can collect supermarket loyalty rewards every time they fill up
- Easily locate the nearest participating supermarket using our app
- Excellent customer service team based in the UK
- Take control and set limits or purchase options (fuel, oil, car wash)
- Our competitive payment terms help you manage cashflow
fuelGenie+
What is fuelGenie+?
We like to think of fuelGenie+ as everything people love about fuelGenie and more. The main difference is an increased network of petrol stations for 50p a month per card. With this option, drivers can also refuel at Shell locations on busy A roads and motorways.
Who does it work best for?
With the added convenience of more places to refuel, this fuel card may suit businesses who travel further afield and are regularly on the motorway. The low price per card means it’s still an affordable option to benefit any budget. Especially as drivers are guaranteed to pay the pump price with no hidden surcharges.
What are the benefits?
For just a small monthly card fee, fuelGenie+ offers a few added extras. On top of all the great fuelGenie benefits above, it makes business life easier with more locations, better vehicle access and added rewards:
- Low-cost supermarket prices and Shell petrol stations
- Fill up around the clock with 24/7 facilities at selected sites
- Larger vehicles or vans welcome at selected sites
- Drivers collect supermarket loyalty and Shell Go+ rewards when they fill up
A clever combination
Do you have drivers that stay local and those that travel further afield? If that’s the case, a mixture of both fuelGenie and fuelGenie+ cards might be the ideal solution. Combining the two can offer the best of both worlds but many businesses don’t realise this is an option. As fuelGenie is totally free and there’s no limits on how many cards you can have, simply order the amount you need. Do the same for your long-distance drivers, ordering fuelGenie+ cards and just pay 50p a month per card. Remember, you can add a registration or driver name to make sure they’re being used for the right vehicle or by the right person.

*The “Over 3 pence per litre” saving message is based on the difference between the published Government Weekly diesel fuel pump prices and the diesel pump price (inc. taxes) paid per litre for diesel by fuelGenie customers for the comparable period. During 2021 fuelGenie customers buying diesel at Tesco, Morrisons and Sainsbury’s saved an average of 3.11 pence per litre when compared to the Government Weekly road fuel prices.
