General Fleet Fuel Card FAQs:
A fleet fuel card is a dedicated purchasing and tracking solution. It functions like a credit card, but is limited to spending within our network of over 320,000 fuel and maintenance locations. Unlike a company credit card, you don’t have to worry about employees spending money outside of fuel stations. You assign an individual fleet fuel card for each driver and determine their specific budget. As purchases are made, you can access information for each fleet fuel card through an online account. The account presents real-time data about who bought what, where, and when.
The purchasing process for your drivers is similar to using a credit card. As the manager, you control the budget for each fleet fuel card. You can set spending higher for longer routes and restrict the budget for shorter routes. This prevents your drivers from going over budget without your authorization. You can monitor everything through a secure online account.
On top of spending data, the fleet fuel cards measure fuel usage for each vehicle. Reports generated by the online system provide valuable insights about driver spending habits and vehicle performance. Fuel Express fleet fuel cards also offer a fraud detection feature. The system will alert you to any unusual activity. Additional security can also be activated through the use of fuel pump prompts. If desired, you can require drivers enter a PIN or other type of identification.
The powerful features outlined in these fleet fuel card FAQs empower you to streamline your budgeting and expense reporting. As data comes in, you’ll gain the ability to eliminate inefficiencies. You might spot drivers who use more fuel than others and train them in better driving habits. The data might also allow you to redesign your routes and reduce fuel consumption. Fleet fuel cards coupled with online reporting will reduce your paperwork load. You won’t need to reconcile receipts from various sources. The system will record everything that you need in one place.
