Introduction

What are fuel cards?

Using fuel cards is simple. Fuel cards are an easy way for businesses to purchase fuel for vehicles, and work in similar way to credit cards except the card is restricted to fuel, oil and lubricants. Fuel cards offer you;

Improved cash flow
Control over your fuel expenditure

HMRC approved invoices, inline with the EU legislation 6th directive for VAT reclamation on business expenses.

Like a credit card, afterwards you make your purchase, you will be invoiced with the details of all of your transactions.
