The UK Fuels HGV Fuel Card – Your drivers’ true Fuel Mate on the road
The HGV fuel card guide by Mark Checksfield – Head of Operations, Fleetmaxx Solutions
As Head of Operations at Fleetmaxx Solutions, I see first-hand how much pressure HGV operators face in keeping costs under control while making sure drivers have what they need to stay productive and safe on the road. Fuel is one of the biggest overheads in any fleet, so getting it right makes a huge difference to efficiency and profitability. That’s where the UK Fuels HGV fuel card comes in.
It’s more than just a way to pay at the pump – it’s a tool that makes your fleet smarter, leaner, and easier to run. I often call it your drivers’ “fuel mate,” because it genuinely supports them in their day-to-day work, while also giving you the control and savings you need in the office.
Why every fleet needs an HGV fuel card
Running a fleet without a dedicated HGV fuel card is like running a business without proper accounts – you can get by, but you’re missing out on big opportunities to save money and tighten up control. An HGV fuel card gives your fleet:
-
Fixed weekly diesel prices – no nasty surprises and easier budget planning.
- Fuel savings – save up to 10p a litres with a UK Fuels card from Fleetmaxx Solutions.
-
Consolidated invoices – cut down admin by replacing hundreds of receipts with one HMRC-compliant invoice.
-
Security – drivers don’t need to carry cash, and every purchase is traceable.
-
Control – track usage by vehicle, driver, or cost centre to spot inefficiencies.
The UK Fuels HGV fuel card goes further by combining these core benefits with access to one of the largest and most HGV-friendly fuel networks in the UK.
A network built for HGV operators
With 4,388 filling stations across the country, the UK Fuels network makes sure your drivers are never far from the fuel they need. And it’s not just about how many sites are available – it’s about how well they suit HGVs:
-
1,032 HGV-friendly stations – proper access, space to manoeuvre, and facilities designed with heavy goods vehicles in mind.
-
630 stations with AdBlue on pump – reducing reliance on costly containers and keeping emissions compliant.
-
57 sites supplying HVO fuel – supporting fleets who want to switch to renewable diesel alternatives.
This extensive coverage means your fleet can plan routes with confidence, knowing there’s always a suitable refuelling point nearby.
Convenience for your HGV drivers
When we talk about fuel cards, it’s easy to focus on the savings – but just as important is the support they give your drivers on the road. A good HGV fuel card makes every stop count. With UK Fuels, your drivers benefit from:
-
1,396 24-hour stations – because haulage doesn’t stop at midnight.
-
1,670 sites with driver toilet facilities – supporting both comfort and compliance.
-
707 cafes and 4,240 shops – helping drivers stay refreshed and pick up essentials while they refuel.
This isn’t just about topping up tanks – it’s about improving the quality of life for your drivers, which in turn boosts morale, reduces stress, and helps keep your operation compliant with rest break regulations.
What can you pay for with a UK Fuels HGV fuel card?
The UK Fuels card isn’t limited to diesel purchases. It’s designed as a complete driver tool. With it, your drivers can also pay for:
-
Truck washes – to keep your fleet looking professional on the road.
-
Truck parking – at participating locations.
-
Fuel at leading brands – including selected Moto motorway pumps, plus BP, Esso, Gulf, Shell, and Texaco, alongside supermarket forecourts at Tesco and Morrisons.*
That flexibility makes life easier for drivers and cuts down the need for cash or multiple cards.
The Fleetmaxx Solutions advantage
Lots of companies can sell you a fuel card – but not all of them operate with your best interests at heart. At Fleetmaxx Solutions, our promise is simple:

-
No automatic price hikes – unlike some suppliers, your rate won’t creep up unnoticed.

And every HGV fuel card we provide comes with AutoMate, our 24/7 online portal. This allows you to:

Track spending and identify inefficiencies in real time.
That means more than cost savings – it means complete control over your fuel spend.
Can an HGV fuel card optimise fleet efficiency?
Absolutely. A properly managed HGV fuel card isn’t just a payment method – it’s an operational tool. By giving your drivers access to the right network, ensuring fair and consistent fuel pricing, and streamlining your administration, it optimises both cost and performance.
With strategically placed truck stops near major trunk roads, ports, and logistics hubs, the UK Fuels card helps fleets reduce dead mileage, improve route planning, and minimise downtime. Combine this with fixed weekly diesel prices, and you have a solution that pays back in both savings and operational efficiency.
