Fuel Management

Do you know how much you are paying per litre with every fuel purchase?

 

Fuel is an unavoidable expense that a fleet manager has to contend with. While prices are continually rising, filling station charges vary enormously across the UK. Generally supermarkets garages tend to have the cheapest fuel per litre. However the number of fuel stations across the UK is declining.

 

The way in which fuel is purchased can affect the overall cost. Introducing Fleet Technique fuel cards into a company can immediately assist with controlling fuel costs and identifying inefficient practice.

 

Fuel cards enable a direct company-to-company transaction to be made. The fuel card supplier pays the filling station and then invoices the company. Fuel cards can be provided for all types of vehicle from small cars to HGVs.

 

The use of Fleet Technique fuel cards provides businesses with:

• High levels of information about their fuel purchasing and therefore greater control over it.
• The ability to track fuel purchases all over the country regardless of date or location. Online management provides greater visibility and flexibility.
• Efficient VAT recovery. A consolidated fuel card invoice will be accepted as a VAT document, instead of having to retain all drivers’ till receipts.
• No requirement to make staff personally pay for business costs. Fuel is purchased directly from the fuel outlet rather than through employees.
• Fuel cards prevent employees submitting inflated expense claims with inaccurate mileage or exaggerated fuel consumption.
• Controls can be installed to enable fuel related purchases only.
• Significant reductions in administration through consolidated invoicing.
• Access to filling stations UK wide. Fleet Technique fuel cards can be used at 95% of filling stations. Your drivers can refuel at the most convenient locations not have to search for specific brands of fuel.
