Van operators can now show their appreciation with a fuel card that offers personal rewards for their drivers, as well as benefits for the fleet.

While the fleet saves 4% on fuel costs, a driver could be saving on all manner of purchases.

When a driver is issued with any fuel card from The Fuelcard People’s offering, they qualify automatically for free Drivers Club membership. That brings access to a constantly growing range of exclusive benefits and special offers. While some are motoring-related, including cars, tyres and servicing deals, there are also valuable discounts on everything from cases of wine to over 1,400 Virgin Experience Days. A driver could even cut the cost of everyday groceries or Christmas shopping at a range of supermarkets, depending upon the fuel card issued.

“Showing your drivers the affection they deserve should not be limited to helping them save on special purchases,” said Steve Clarke, Fuelcard People’s Marketing Director. “Give them the right fuel card and help them to save on everyday essentials. They could refuel at Tesco and collect the Tesco Clubcard points. Topping up at Morrison’s means 10 Match & More points for every litre. Filling up at Shell means boosting their Shell Drivers Club points, saving towards High Street or Waitrose vouchers. If a driver stops to pour BP into the tank, let them add points onto their own Nectar card.”

Steve also pointed out that issuing the right fuel card strengthens the bond between employer and driver, encouraging loyalty. “You cut the fleet’s refuelling bills and your drivers enjoy a really, worthwhile perk.”
