abbey, one of the UK’s leading commercial fuelcard providers, says that companiesoperating LCV fleets and who are still relying on outdated systems of fuel purchase– such as ‘pay-and-reclaim’, company credit cards, or depot tanks – are almostcertainly paying more than they need for fuel. They’re also incurring a lot ofunnecessary hidden costs because of the administrative burden involved.
According to abbey, these companies could enjoy substantial savings off their fuel bills and administrative costs bygiving their drivers the abbey fastfuel fuelcard. This applies equally to mixed fleets of petrol and diesel vehicles, aswell as to diesel-only fleets, because fastfuel is the only UK fuelcard that ensures lower prices for both petrol anddiesel purchases.
It is accepted at over 1400 texaco service stations on major trunk routes and urban fringes nationwide, as well as267 morrisons Superstores. Every week, member companies receive advance notificationfrom abbey what the price per litre will be for each fuel for the next 7-day period at all texacosites, regardless of the prices on the pumps. This is typically 2-3 pence below the nationalaverage pump price – and can represent a substantial annual saving. There’s no advance bulkpurchase necessary, no cash involved on the road, and all transaction details are automaticallyrecorded. Weekly invoices are fully itemised and payable by automatic direct debit 14 dayslater. abbey also provides regular customised reports and analyses of fuel purchase and consumption without extracharge and without the need for significant internal administration time.
