The Top 10 Fuel Card Suppliers

The UK fuel card market is dominated by a handful of major providers, each with different network sizes, pricing models, and specialisms. Choosing the wrong card can mean paying more than pump price once fees are added – choosing the right one can save 5-10p per litre.

We’ve compared the 10 most widely used fuel card suppliers in the UK, covering network coverage, confirmed pricing where available, Trustpilot ratings, and what each provider is genuinely best for. All data was verified in March 2026.

The key differences between providers come down to three things: network size (how many stations accept the card), pricing model (fixed weekly vs pump price discount vs commercial rate), and fees (card fees, transaction fees, and hidden charges like underused account fees).

Quick Picks: Best Fuel Card Suppliers

Allstar offers the widest UK coverage (7,700+ stations), Right Fuel Card has the best Trustpilot rating (4.8/5), and The Fuel Store is the best option for businesses that can’t pass a credit check.

Comparison Table: All 10 Suppliers

Network size ranges from 1,300 stations (fuelGenie) to 7,700+ (Allstar). Card fees where published range from free to £5.50/month. All providers offer HMRC-compliant invoicing.

Allstar Business Solutions (owned by Corpay, formerly FleetCor) operates the UK’s largest fuel card network with access to over 7,700 stations covering 90%+ of all UK forecourts. They serve 50,000+ businesses with 1.2 million cards in circulation, processing 26 million+ transactions annually.

The card range includes six products: Allstar One (£2/month, full network), Chargepass (£5.50/month, fuel + 65,000+ EV chargers), Supermarket+ (£1.50/month, 3,000+ supermarket sites), Allstar Plus (Visa 2-in-1), Business Expense, and Monitor. The Chargepass is Allstar’s standout – combining fuel and EV charging on a single HMRC-compliant invoice is something few competitors match.

Diesel savings of up to 8-10p per litre are available at 1,600+ Discount Diesel sites. However, Allstar’s full fee schedule is not publicly available, and accounts placed on “risk” status face surcharges that can be applied without prior notice per their T&Cs.

Right Fuel Card is a fuel card broker (not an issuer) owned by Edenred, offering nine different card products across BP, Shell, Keyfuels, UK Fuels, Texaco, and their own Edenred Black card. This breadth means they can match a card to almost any fleet’s route profile – their combined network covers up to 98% of UK fuel stations.

The flagship Edenred Black is the UK’s only fuel card accepted at both BP and Shell on a single card. Other options include the BP Bunker (HGV-focused), Shell CRT (fixed pricing at 400 core sites), and RightPay (prepaid, no hard credit check).

Right Fuel Card markets “no hidden fees, no transaction fees, no network fees” but their full fee schedule isn’t published. Third-party sources reference monthly card fees and network service fees in the T&Cs. The 4.8/5 Trustpilot rating from 4,881 reviews is the highest of any fuel card provider in the UK.

Shell offers seven fuel card products directly, making it one of the broadest brand-specific ranges in the UK. The network covers 3,800+ Shell stations, and their EV charging card provides access to the Shell Recharge network.

Key products include the Shell CRT (commercial road transport, fixed weekly pricing at 400+ core sites), Shell Fleet Card (Visa-branded, accepted anywhere Visa works), and the Shell EV Charging Card. All cards include online fleet management, HMRC-compliant invoicing, and spending controls.

Shell’s pricing is negotiated individually and not published. Note that Shell’s Trustpilot profile reflects consumer fuel station reviews, not B2B fuel card service – the 1.5/5 rating cited in some comparisons is misleading and should be disregarded for business card decisions.

WEX Europe (formerly Esso Card) stands out for something unusual in the fuel card market: a publicly available fee schedule. Card fees are £5/month, minimum usage is £18/month, and inactive accounts face £45/quarter charges. This transparency makes it easy to calculate the true cost before signing.

The network covers 7,600+ sites across the UK and Europe, with a minimum 300-litre monthly fuel purchase requirement. WEX is particularly strong for businesses that operate internationally, offering cross-border fuelling that purely UK-focused providers can’t match.

WEX requires a credit check and a minimum fleet of typically 3+ vehicles. The 4.3/5 Trustpilot rating from 158 reviews is solid, though the smaller review count reflects their focus on larger commercial fleets rather than small business.

Keyfuels is the go-to provider for HGV operators and haulage companies. Their network of 3,500+ stations includes 900+ dedicated HGV/bunker fuel sites and covers 70% of UK motorway service stations – critical for long-distance commercial transport.

The card uses fixed weekly diesel pricing at core sites, which helps fleet managers predict costs accurately. Keyfuels is primarily a diesel-focused network, making it less suitable for mixed petrol/diesel fleets but ideal for operations running predominantly on diesel.

Keyfuels cards are often distributed through brokers like Right Fuel Card and Fuelmate rather than directly. Fee information varies depending on the reseller, so compare quotes from multiple brokers if you’re considering this card.

The Fuel Store offers both credit and prepaid fuel cards, but it’s the Advantage Card (prepaid, no credit check) that makes them stand out. Businesses with poor credit history, startups, or those wanting strict spending control can load credit and use it across 3,500+ stations including 900+ HGV sites.

The standard Fuel Store Card operates on credit with up to 14 days to pay, using fixed weekly commercial pricing that applies equally to all sites – including motorway stations, which many providers surcharge. The 4.6/5 Trustpilot rating from 339 reviews is strong, with fast onboarding and named customer service staff consistently praised.

See our prepaid fuel cards guide for a detailed comparison of the Advantage Card against other no-credit-check options.

UK Fuels is part of Radius, one of Europe’s largest fleet management companies. They issue over 1 million fuel cards annually and provide access to 4,000+ forecourts, including Texaco, Tesco, Morrisons, and Asda Express stations.

The card uses weekly fixed diesel pricing and includes HMRC-compliant invoicing. UK Fuels is often resold through brokers like Right Fuel Card and The Fuel Store, so you may encounter it under different names depending on which broker you approach.

Note that supermarket surcharges apply at Tesco and Sainsbury’s when using a UK Fuels card – factor this into your cost comparison if supermarket stations are on your regular routes.

BP offers fuel cards directly for businesses of all sizes, from sole traders to large fleets. The network covers 1,200+ BP stations, including 600+ sites with HGV access. BP cards are also available through brokers like Right Fuel Card (as the BP Flexi and BP Bunker cards).

The BP Fuel+ card is the brand’s direct offering, providing access to BP-branded stations with HMRC-compliant invoicing and online fleet management. For businesses already loyal to BP stations, the direct relationship avoids broker intermediation.

Pricing is negotiated and not published. BP’s Trustpilot profile reflects the wider consumer brand rather than the B2B fuel card service specifically.

fuelGenie is the supermarket specialist: their card is accepted at 1,300+ Tesco, Morrisons, and Sainsbury’s forecourts, which typically offer the cheapest pump prices in any area. The standard card is free with no minimum spend, making it the lowest-barrier fuel card available.

The unique selling point is that drivers keep their supermarket loyalty points (Clubcard, Nectar, Morrisons More) – something no other fuel card offers. For businesses whose drivers already refuel at supermarkets, fuelGenie adds HMRC-compliant invoicing and centralised tracking without changing behaviour.

fuelGenie+ extends coverage to Shell stations (2,200+ sites) for a nominal card fee. A prepaid option is also available for businesses with limited credit. For more detail, see our full fuelGenie review.

Fuelmate is part of the J.R. Rix & Sons group and won Shell Fuel Card Reseller of the Year in 2025. They act as a broker, providing cards from BP, Esso, Shell, Keyfuels, Texaco, and UK Fuels – so they can match drivers to the best network for their routes.

Their standout product is the Flexi-pay prepaid card, designed for businesses spending £1,000+ per month on diesel. You load a set number of litres rather than a cash amount, which protects your balance from price fluctuations. Fuelmate claims no administration or card charges on this product.

Access covers 2,000+ sites on the Keyfuels network with fixed weekly pricing. The 4.9/5 Trustpilot rating is the highest of any fuel card provider we’ve reviewed, though the review count is modest compared to larger competitors. See our prepaid fuel cards guide for more on the Flexi-pay.

How to Choose a Fuel Card Supplier

Start with where your drivers refuel most often, then compare the total cost (card fee + transaction fee + fuel price) rather than any single headline figure.

1. Map your routes to the network. A 7,700-station card is overkill if your drivers only use 10 specific stations. Conversely, a cheap card that forces drivers to detour burns more fuel than it saves. Check each provider’s station finder against your actual routes.

2. Calculate the total cost per litre. The fuel price discount is only one part of the equation. Add the card fee (monthly), divide by your expected litres, and add any transaction fee. A “5p saving” that comes with a £3 transaction fee is no saving at all on a 30-litre fill-up.

3. Match to your fleet type. HGV and long-distance: Keyfuels or Allstar. Mixed petrol/diesel: Allstar One or Right Fuel Card. Supermarket-focused local runs: fuelGenie. EV transitioning: Allstar Chargepass. Startup or bad credit: The Fuel Store or Fuelmate Flexi-pay.

4. Ask for the full fee schedule in writing. Most providers don’t publish their complete pricing online. Before signing, request the Standard Charges document (or equivalent) and check for underused account fees, late payment penalties, replacement card charges, and risk pricing clauses.

5. Check the exit terms. Some cards have no minimum contract; others require written notice. Confirm whether unused prepaid balance is refundable and whether there are early termination penalties.

Our Verdict

Allstar is the best all-round fuel card for UK businesses wanting maximum coverage. Right Fuel Card is best for flexibility, and The Fuel Store is the top choice for startups or poor credit.

Allstar earns the Editor’s Pick for the widest UK network (7,700+ stations) and the strongest EV transition product (Chargepass). If your fleet needs coverage across the entire UK without route restrictions, no other single provider matches it.

Right Fuel Card is the best option if you want expert guidance matching the right card to your fleet’s routes – their 9 card types across all major networks mean they can usually find a better fit than going direct to a single brand.

For startups and businesses with limited credit, The Fuel Store’s Advantage Card and Fuelmate’s Flexi-pay provide genuine prepaid options without credit checks. And if your drivers already refuel at supermarkets, fuelGenie is the simplest, cheapest entry point into fuel card savings.
