The benefits offered by UK Fuels

UK Fuels cards are accepted at the majority of major fuel retailers throughout the UK, and can include ‘add-ons’ to access premium branded sites such as BP, Shell, and Texaco. Diesel can also be purchased at a reduced rate from Moto motorway service stations across the UK, negating the need for your driver to make a detour whilst out on a job, saving your company both time and money.

All account holders also automatically gain access to UK Fuels’ unique online account management system, Velocity. This allows the fleet manager, or the designated representative, to manage all fuel cards in one place from either a laptop or a smartphone. Invoices and transactions can be monitored and in-depth reports can be created by the user, detailing overall efficiency of the fleet.
