What is a prepaid fuel card?
With most fuel cards, you fill up, then pay the invoice later. However, with a prepaid fuel card, you top up first, then you use the available credit to fill up on fuel. Think of it like a fuel card version of a pay-as-you go phone!
What are the benefits of a prepaid fuel card?
Prepaid fuel cards allow fleet owners to keep a tight control over how much is spent on fuel. With no credit check required, they can also be a great way for start-ups, or companies with a poor credit rating, to access cheaper fuel.
How do I top up my prepaid fuel card?
As the name suggests, prepaid fuel cards must be topped up before use. Our Advantage Card can be topped up via our online customer portal, using a debit or credit card. This allows users to top-up their cards and track spend 24/7. Cards can also be topped up by speaking to our team, who will be happy to help.
What type of business is The Advantage Card suited to?
The Advantage Card offers the same unrivalled multi-network coverage as The Fuel Store Card, but instead of weekly invoices, companies must pre-pay for their fuel. The card can be used all over the UK, anywhere from supermarkets to motorway service stations, and over 900 HGV sites. This combination of a vast network and well-known fuel brands makes it suitable for companies of all sizes, whether operating a fleet of cars, vans, HGVs, or a mixed fleet. It is particularly suitable for startups, companies with a poor credit score, or those who simply want closer control over spending.
