Right Fuel Card

Fuel and electric charging cards for businesses in the UK

Right Fuel Card is a British provider of fuel cards and electric vehicle (EV) charging cards aimed at businesses. The company states that more than 25,000 UK businesses use its services to manage fuel spending and reduce administrative tasks. Its offering combines a broad network of fuel stations with payment solutions that integrate fuel and electricity into a single invoice.

Card catalogue and fuel networks

The offering is organised along several lines. On the one hand, fuel cards are grouped according to the customer's preferred brand: BP, Shell, Esso, Texaco, UK Fuels and supermarkets. On the other, they are classified by fuel type (diesel, petrol, electric or dual) and by business profile: small businesses, fleets, heavy goods vehicles (HGV), sole traders, trades, taxis and driving instructors. The company also markets RightPay, a prepaid fuel card, and Edenred Black, which is presented as the only UK card that combines BP and Shell on a single card at a fixed weekly price with a discount compared to the pump price.

Complementary services

In addition to the cards, Right Fuel Card offers associated services: RightProtect, telematics, Rightcharge (electric charging solutions), a fuel station finder and a Fuel Finder app. These resources allow businesses to plan routes, search for stations compatible with each card network and check the services available at each refuelling point.

Expense management and billing

The company highlights that its cards simplify fuel management through a single HMRC-approved invoice (the UK tax authority) that consolidates all fuel and electric charging spending. According to its description, this facilitates VAT reclaim and removes the need to manage receipts and expenses manually. The company states that it does not apply hidden transaction or network charges, and that customers can save up to 9 pence per litre compared to the pump price. To calculate potential savings, it offers a savings calculator on its website.

Coverage and access

Right Fuel Card points out that its card network gives access to 98% of UK fuel stations, as well as to the largest public EV charging network. The company also mentions that its solutions allow fuel and electric charging to be combined in a single invoice, including smart home EV charging reimbursement.

Customer service and application process

The company has a UK-based team that answers by phone and helps compare options. The application process can be completed online in a few minutes for small business cards, or in about five minutes if the desired product is already known. To apply for a card, proof of identity and address is required, and the company carries out a credit check. Once the application is approved, the cards are sent directly to the customer and can be assigned to specific vehicles or drivers. Customers have a dedicated account manager to select the most suitable combination of cards and manage everything through a consolidated invoice.
