The deal means that BP PLUS cardholders can now use a total of 1,000 Texaco sites, giving them access to the second largest network in the UK or one in three of every UK forecourt.

Ranjeev Baines, BP’s UK Fuel Cards Manager, commented: 'The increased number of sites on the BP PLUS network is of great benefit to fleets who look for convenience. The advantage of the BP PLUS Card is that fleets can secure below pump prices* in addition to the convenience of 3,200 sites. Even the largest fleets in the UK do not need or use all UK forecourts – which means there are significant benefits to achieving the right balance between price and network.'

Meanwhile Texaco’s The Business Card holders can use 1,200 BP forecourts and will also benefit from a "Welcome to BP" campaign, which will mean that all Texaco card holders spending at BP will be awarded double Nectar points for two months from 7 June.
