Abbey Fuelcards has reminded managers to watch for unexpected fuel purchases. Sales and marketing manager Steve Clarke said: "If drivers buy diesel during evenings or weekends for vehicles which should only be used during working hours, ask questions. It is bad enough to have vehicles used for ‘moonlighting,’ without having to pay for the fuel as well."
He acknowledged that unauthorised fuel purchase is easily overlooked. "The odd ‘rogue’ receipt can slip through when you are handling dozens of pieces of paper," he said.
Abbey Fuelcards users need not suffer the moonlight diesel problem. The many benefits include reporting which can automatically highlight out-of-hours purchases. This is part of Abbey Fuelcards tailored account management, with 24/7 online account access and a dedicated account manager. With a single weekly invoice which is VAT approved and also meets with the European 6th directive, replacing drivers’ irregularly submitted handfuls of fuel receipts, users enjoy major savings on administration time and costs.
Abbey Fuelcards are designed to drive down costs, giving savings on fuel through fixed weekly prices typically 2p to 3p below marked pump prices. Almost as importantly, Abbey Fuelcards deliver greater security to help in preventing fraud and card misuse, for improved peace of mind.
Full advice and network details are offered so that applicants can choose the best card for their particular circumstances.
