Esso National Fuel Card

There are just a few steps for you to complete before you can get your fuel card. Here’s how it all works:

1. Send us your contact information and application. We’ll pass those details over to your fuel card provider.
2. The fuel card provider will get in touch by phone or email. After that, an expert will double check your details and make sure you’re getting the right card to fit your business needs.
3. You confirm your fleet details (number of vehicles, cards needed, etc) to finalise your application.
4. The boring bit! A credit check will have to be completed so you’ll have to send us some financial details. This process is usually done within 48 hours.
5. Next, you’ll find out if your application has been approved. Your printed cards should be sent to you within 10 to 14 working days.
6. Finally, you’ll get a welcome call from your local fuel card branch or customer service department. They’ll help you set up an online account system, which we highly recommend to get the most out of your new fuel card.

We recommend the Esso National card for all businesses and sole traders who need to refill across the UK. Here’s what you get when you use your Esso card:

1. Prices to suit you

Many fuel cards on the market are either fixed-price or pump price. With fixed prices, you get a weekly report that lets you know how much you’ll pay for fuel based on wholesale oil prices. Pump prices give you a guaranteed saving every time you refill at the pump. Often, when you get a fuel card, you don’t have much choice! But the Esso National card can either be fixed or pump priced, so you can choose what works best for your business.

2. One of the best networks in the UK

Very few fuel cards can match the sheer network size of the Esso National. With over 3,400 stations in the UK, you can easily find a station to refill wherever you are. With an Esso National card, you can refill at 25% of fuel stations in the UK.

3. Track fuel costs

Whether you’re a sole trader or a fleet manager, it’s great to know exactly how much fuel you’re using. The Esso National fuel card comes with an online account management portal, so you can keep an eye on your costs.

4. Easily reclaim VAT

One of the best parts about having an Esso National card is the invoices. No, really. You’ll get an invoice for your fuel costs every month. These invoices are HMRC-approved, so you don’t have to spend tons of time on admin.

Your Esso National card can be used in the UK at over 3,400 stations. This includes over 1,200 Esso stations and their big partner network. Partner stations include all BP and Shell stations.
