Discount Diesel fuelcards has a portfolio of fuel management systems - each with a nationwide
network of filling stations where your drivers can fill up with diesel and petrol
without needing cash.
The aim of Discount Diesel Fuelcards is to substantially reduce fuel costs for our clients
through management information and competitive pricing.
Service
ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT - NO CALL CENTRES - Discount Diesel fuelcards offer all of our customers
one point of contact, who will deal with all of your fuel card enquiries.
ONLINE ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT - to support our fuel management team, where fuel cards
can be ordered and stopped and site information is provided.
CARD MANAGEMENT - fuel cards can be set up for individual drivers or vehicles on
your fleet. Every fuel card that you receive will have a directory specifying the
sites available in the UK. Fuel cards can be placed on stop promptly, we aim to
have all replacement cards to you within 7 working days.
INVOICE MANAGEMENT - with a weekly invoice by post or email, detailing all diesel
and petrol transactions by fuel card, driver or by vehicle. Payment is by Direct
Debit 14 days after invoice offering you up to 21 days interest free credit.
DATA MANAGEMENT - fleet management reports on fuel cards, drivers or vehicles can
be provided. These can be sent on a routine basis and provide valuable fleet management
services to your organisation. Mileage is recorded at the site and as long as it
is given it will show on the reports.
Savings
FIXED WEEKLY PRICES NOTIFIED IN ADVANCE - one weekly price valid wherever you draw
from our nationwide networks, no more regional price variations! To ensure that
you are receiving the most competitive fuel price on a weekly basis we send either
a fax, email or SMS to inform you of the following weeks price.
We monitor our fuel prices daily to ensure that we are always competitive with other
fuel suppliers, here in the U.K. The prices for our Shell, Texaco and Diesel Direct
networks are individually set to ensure that you are receiving the highest level
of service for the cheapest possible price.
VAT RECLAMATION - a recent European court ruling in Holland stated that VAT can
only be reclaimed against fuel purchased directly by the company. By using Discount Diesel
fuelcards you can avoid the risk of not being able to reclaim 17.5% of your diesel
and petrol costs by becoming the direct purchaser of the fuel rather than your employee.
ENGINE DAMAGE - according to independent research published by the Consumers' Association,
the 2% saving in filling up on lower grade fuel may result in a 7% increase in fleet
depreciation caused by increased engine damage. Discount Diesel can help you by only providing
you with quality diesel and petrol.
Security
NO CASH TRANSACTIONS - and all of your diesel and petrol purchases will be recorded
on our weekly invoices
FUEL PURCHASES - all transactions on the card are restricted to diesel, petrol and
oil only preventing your driver's from using the card to purchase confectionary
at the sites.
DRIVER NAME OR REGISTRATION NUMBER - fuel cards can be signed by the driver and
this signature is checked in the same way as a debit or credit card. Where the registration
number of the vehicle is embossed on the card, fuel should only be able to be drawn
for this vehicle.
Discount Diesel Diesel Direct also has the following exclusive additional security features:
Card Insurance - liability is with the fuel card provider as soon as the card is
confirmed as lost or stolen.
Actionline - a 24 hour helpline, where fuel cards that have been lost or stolen
can be put on stop.
"Query Drawing" system - where if an irregular drawing is made (e.g. unusually high/frequent)
you will be notified to ensure that the card is still in your possession.
Early warning system - your cards can be set a maximum drawing limit and notification
is given should a driver exceed the limit.
Discount Diesel online+ - allow you to stop cards 24 hours a day and check your drivers transactions
on a daily basis so you have total control of the drawings on the account.
