ajay1990 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 with my current job, I go through a fair few miles each week, on average around 700. I am employed but use my personal vehicle to get to and from jobs. There seems to be a market for domestic fuel cards, but no one supplying them (that I can find) any advice?

Chez2 Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 What do you hope to gain from a fuel card? You have to pay a fee for them but you can get fuel at a cheaper / fixed price. I'm not sure of the minimum spend to make them worth while. I often used to do around 200 - 300 miles per day and just used my own credit card. I used to pay it off each month and claim it back from my employer. I don't do as much travelling now so have never gone into fuel card details. I do get people phoning me but we don't fill up often enough to make a fuel card worth while. I now use the company debit card to pay for my fuel. Just do an Internet search and contact a fuel card company. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlfc Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I get 3% back on all fuel at Sainsbury's via my cashback card which helps. PM me if you want details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Etc You wouldn't have those of you are a sole trader. I know a sole trader business with several employees and a small fleet of HGVs. I use a Marks & Spencer credit card for private not business purchases. I get vouchers back to spend in store rather than cash back. It usually amounts to quite a lot per month. I don't pay anything for the card as I pay it off each month. I often fill up my business vehicles at Tesco using my company debit card but I get the points on my Tesco card. If I haven't filled up my own car I sometimes use the money off fuel for my company vehicles. I am getting about 13p/L off Tesco fuel at the moment by doing my food shopping there and fuel is a good price anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
