Fuel Cards by UK Fuels

Fuel cards are the flagship offering at UK Fuels, yet at our core, we specialise in enhancing fleet efficiency. Boasting over 25 years of experience, we're equipped to provide comprehensive support, from fuel consumption analysis and CO₂ emissions assessments to the development of tailored fuel policies for your business.

If you're considering fuel cards for the first time, you might be accustomed to traditional payment methods for fleet fuel, such as cash, debit, or company credit cards, followed by reimbursing driver expenses. However, fuel cards are gaining preference for their multitude of benefits.

Purchases made with fuel cards are instantly recorded and accessible through Velocity, our leading online management tool, available as both an app and through the website. This system offers more detailed insights than conventional credit card statements, allowing you to monitor your business's fuel usage, categorise purchases by driver, vehicle, or location, and even set up spend alerts for your drivers.

Transitioning to fuel cards eliminates the need for reimbursing driver fuel expenses and streamlines your bookkeeping processes. All fuel transactions can be downloaded and seamlessly integrated into your accounting systems, sparing you the hassle of manual data entry from receipts.
