Fuel card driver rewards: A little extra for your team
Driver benefits: An article by Steve Buckley, Sales Manager, Fleetmaxx Solutions Burnley
At Fleetmaxx Solutions, we’re always focused on helping your business save on fuel costs, EV charging, and admin time. But here’s something just as important: fuel cards aren’t just good for your business—they’re good for your drivers too.
A motivated, appreciated driver is a happy one. That’s why many of the fuel cards we offer come with built-in rewards for drivers every time they refuel. These perks aren’t just a bonus—they’re a brilliant way to make day-to-day driving feel a little more rewarding.
Driver benefits at Shell pumps
Shell Fuel Cards (Shell Fleet, Shell CRT, Shell EV CRT, and Shell Hybrid)
Drivers can link their fuel card to Shell Go+ Rewards, Shell’s exclusive loyalty programme:
-
2 points per litre on Shell V-Power
-
1 point per litre on Shell FuelSave
-
1 point per £1 spent on selected in-store products
Shell Go+ Rewards points can be redeemed for savings on fuel, hot drinks, car washes, and more. With automatic tracking, drivers don’t need to do anything extra—just fill up and enjoy the rewards.
Additional rewards across major retailers
Esso Fuel Cards: Driver Benefits
Esso Business Fuel Cards offer access to one of the UK’s most extensive networks—and with it, the ability to collect Nectar points at participating Esso and Sainsbury’s sites.
-
Drivers can earn Nectar points on every litre of fuel purchased
-
Points can be spent on a wide range of rewards, from shopping vouchers to tech and experiences
-
Points are earned automatically when the driver links their Nectar card at the pump
This is a great way to keep fuel costs controlled while giving drivers something back for every journey they make.
fuelGenie Fuel Card
Accepted at selected supermarket forecourts, fuelGenie allows drivers to earn:
-
Tesco Clubcard points at Tesco petrol stations
-
Morrisons More points at Morrisons forecourts
-
Nectar points at Sainsbury’s and Esso-branded stations with linked promotions
It’s a simple and effective way to combine competitive pricing with rewards from the shops your drivers already use.
UK Fuels Card
The UK Fuels Card is accepted at over 3,600 sites nationwide, making it ideal for businesses with mixed fleets or those operating across rural areas.
What’s often overlooked is that UK Fuels Cards can also be used at Tesco and Esso stations, enabling drivers to collect:
-
Tesco Clubcard points at Tesco Express forecourts
-
Nectar points at Esso locations linked to the Nectar scheme
This added flexibility means that drivers can top up close to home—or wherever their route takes them—while still enjoying reward points they can use for everyday savings.
