With forty-five service buses covering Inverclyde, west of Glasgow, McGills Bus Service Ltd wanted to reduce the monthly spend on fuel and receive better support than it had been getting with its previous card supplier. After researching the market McGills chose abbey Fuelcards as the provider with the optimum solution.
The bus service covers an area of some 600 square miles. Before switching to the abbey Fuelcard, McGills was meeting a fuel bill of over £62000 per month. Since the change to abbey Fuelcards they are saving over £2,000 per month – a whopping £24,000 a year.
McGills selected abbey as its fuel card provider for the combination of excellent customer service and significant savings on fuel costs. The range of abbey fuel options ensures that a scheme is available to suit all types of company and fleet, from sole trader through to major operators.
These options are:
- diesel direct, which offers fixed price diesel from over 1,000 UK locations fastfuel, offering both discounted petrol and diesel from approximately 1400 Nationwide Service Stations
- euroshell, which covers 1/3 of the UK motorway service areas, plus sites on major trunk roads.
