FLEETMAXX SOLUTIONS is a fuel card provider and trusted partner for many businesses, trade associations and buying groups, Sam Butler, is one of of our top fuel card specialists, working out of our Whitstable office, here he explains the top five benefits of using a fuel card for your business.
Fuel Card Benefit 1. Controlling your diesel & petrol costs
The first significant difference is the degree of control a fuel card provides. Before activating the card, you can specify exactly how you or drivers use it, setting limits on the cash spent, the number of gallons it can buy, or hours used.
Fuel Card Benefit 2. Admin work in real-time
When the driver swipes the card at a pump, vehicle ID and odometer details feed into the chip and PIN system. When the transaction confirms, an immediate invoice with further information about the vehicle’s location, mileage, and fuel consumption feeds instantly into your company’s accounting package. In an instant, you are ready for tax returns, overhead reports, balance projections and more reporting.
Fuel Card Benefit 3. Convenient and flexible choice
Different fuel cards contract you to different fuel chains and provide you with additional benefits. At FLEETMAXX SOLUTIONS we will always find the best solutions and our fuel cards can save up to 10p per litre on diesel and petrol. We even have a card for electric recharging. Here is a brief overview:

- Texaco Fastfuel fuel card is a petrol or diesel fuel card offering flexibility for your car and van fleet; this fuel card has excellent nationwide network coverage with competitive fixed wholesale pricing.
Fuel Card Benefit 4. Consistent fuel pricing
At FLEETMAXX SOLUTIONS, we negotiate huge discounts from fuel suppliers; this negotiation means using any of our fuel cards will allow you to buy fuel at a stable, discounted price from the fuel provider you choose. You buy your fuel direct from suppliers rather than the garage. So you can avoid all those supermarket and forecourt price wars.
Fuel Card Benefit 5. Keeping an eye on logistics and benefits
Having a fuel card means having real-time information about mileage, location, and fuel consumption. For example, heavy fuel consumption combined with a late refuel could warn of traffic congestion on specific routes. Increasing fuel consumption might suggest that a vehicle needs an early service. This information provides opportunities for you to save more fuel and improve transport efficiency.
Fuel cards also monitor petrol prices, and once you have a fuel card, a national petrol pump price list gets sent to you each week. Consequently, you can drive or divert your drivers to garages charging less or operating loyalty reward schemes so that they can benefit too.
Why should you trust FLEETMAXX SOLUTIONS?
There are many fuel card providers, so it is only right you do your homework on which company you trust. However, be aware that some fuel card companies have software algorithms that automatically put prices up over time? And the longer you show your loyalty to that fuel card supplier, your account is on an automatic price escalator.
We do not do that.
Nor do we add hidden prices on top of your transaction for services you did not even ask for; or add network fees or other surcharges.
The whole point of a fuel card is to save money, and that is what we do. There is no account set up fee for HVP Gold Membership subscribers. You will get a 50% discount on fuel cards and £25 cashback when all cards are first used. Talk to Sam Butler on 01227 936841 for more information or visit our website – here.
