Four Cards, Four Solutions

Fuel cards are the perfect solution to managing and monitoring your fleet's fuel expenditure. At Cambrian Fuel Cards we currently offer four fuel cards, each of which offering a variety of advantages over the other fuel cards we have available. We offer four fuel cards as having many years experience as a fuel supplier, we realise that one size does not fit all.

Some of our fuel cards offer better coverage of participating garages in the more sparsely populated areas such as central Wales, the Yorkshire Dales & North Yorks Moors, the Lake District and the Scottish lowlands and highlands. If your fleet operates mainly in any of these rural regions, then use our forecourt finder to help you decide which of our four fuel cards offer the best coverage in your region.

Choosing which of our four fuel cards is best for your specific needs is dependent on several factors. For example, only the Euroshell card and the Texaco Fastfuel cards allow petrol purchases along with diesel and lubricants, whereas the UK Fuels and Keyfuels cards only allow purchases of diesel and lubricants. If your fleet or mobile workforce operates in Northern Ireland, then Texaco Fastfuel and the UK Fuels cards offer by far the best coverage in this area, however the UK fuels card only allows diesel and lubricant purchases, so if you have a mobile workforce running on petrol in Northern Ireland than the Texaco Fastfuel card is ideal.

Where your fleet or mobile workforce operates largely along the main transport routes of England, Wales and Scotland then finding a participating garage will not be a problem as coverage is widespread and frequent in these areas. The best way to decide which of the fuel cards we have to offer is best you and your fleet is to contact one of our advisers, however this quick guide should assist you by highlighting the benefits of each fuel card.
