Had some issues today with fuel cards....

Is there one that will cover the majority of garages?

They all seem to do seperate ones for their own garages, BP, Texaco....

Our main one is Key Fuels, but seems to be less and less places accepting it ::b

it is not quite the same thing, but could be of interest ....

Picked up a flyer for a Shell Credit Card - they give you 3p a litre back on shell fuel and for a soft time it is 6p a litre.
Maybe have a company Shell card for fuel purchases?

if you want to send me your fuel cards, I will drive round filling up at stations round here and report back :wink:

Last fuel card I had was Allstar actually - but about 20 years ago :cb

When I had a company car I had an Allstar card, I found I could use it anywhere. I used to drive from London to Hull, Grimsby, Cardiff and Southampton on a regular basis.

I got rid of the company fuel card when the tax went through the roof on private use :cb

Best to shop around, because you can definitely save money with the right one.

I think the All star is one of the best.
