New money-saving fuel card to help fleets counter rising fuel prices

A new money-saving fuel card has arrived from UK Fuels to help fleets cut costs amid rising fuel prices.

As well as providing appealing discounts, the Fleetone card enables fleets to make cost and efficiency savings through data received from the vehicle and transactions

Aimed at fleets of all types and sizes, the Fleetone card gives guaranteed discounts of up to 10 pence per litre on both diesel and unleaded fuel.

It provides access to an independent fuel card network of more than 4,100 fuel stations – said to be the largest in the UK – and is accepted at more than 80% of supermarket fuel stations and over 70% of motorway fuel stations.

Fleets can also make savings and optimise efficiency through vehicle and transaction data. All users get access to UK Fuels’ online account management portal, Velocity, which allows fleet managers to control their fuel costs and driver performance. Accessible online from any device, the portal can be used to match fuel purchase data to other data, such as mileage and telematics tracking logs, to help companies improve control of their fuel costs. HMRC-compliant invoices are also instantly accessible.

All UK Fuels customers can also make use of the firm’s E-route app, which shows every fuel station in the UK that accepts their fuel cards and makes it easy for drivers to find their nearest fuel station.

Jonathan Haseler, managing director of UK Fuels, which is part of Radius Payment Solutions, said: “Fuel prices have rocketed this year and prices may well continue to rise. With fuel already the biggest single material cost to fleet operators, it is now more important than ever to control and reduce fuel costs. Fleetone does just that, with acceptance at 98% of UK postcode areas and attractive fuel discounts. We are also incredibly proud that UK Fuels is the highest-rated fuel card provider on Trustpilot, meaning Fleetone users can benefit from our exceptional customer service.”
