About fuelGenie

With our fuel cards, your business will only ever pay pump prices – unlike other providers we don't apply surcharges.  This gives you control where your drivers can fill up, providing your drivers with access to low-cost supermarket fuel as well as the convenience of the additional locations offered with fuelGenie+.

You only pay the pump price shown at the forecourt at the time of refuelling. This applies to both fuelGenie and fuelGenie+ fuel cards and means that you always benefit from competitively priced fuel.

If you are using fuelGenie cards there are no set up fees or running costs for fuelGenie nor do we charge transaction fees. You will only pay for the fuel you use and not a penny more!


If you are using fuelGenie+ cards, you can still benefit from no transaction fees, and no extra costs for any fuel usage, however fuelGenie+ cards will incur a small monthly card fee of £0.50 each.

Just like the fuelGenie card, you won’t find any hidden fees here. The fuelGenie+ card costs a small fee of just 50p per month per card.

No, there aren’t any surcharges involved. All you have to pay is the price displayed on the fuel pump and not a penny more.

Manage my account is your free online reporting tool! From here you can run usage and VAT reports. You are also able to view the previous 12 months invoices, amend cards (issue new cards, replace and cancel cards). In addition you can also make interim payments to your account 24/7!

All fuel no matter where you fill up, is purchased from the same refineries. All supermarket fuel complies with the industry standards. For more detailed information on fuel quality please refer to the individual fuel providers.

Any fuelGenie or fuelGenie+ card can be linked to a driver and or a vehicle. You can also have a pool card. We are flexible so you can choose whatever suits your business needs.

You will be invoiced on the 2nd, 9th, 16th and 23rd of each month and a Direct Debit will be taken seven days from that invoice date.


Please also note should your Direct Debit fail and payment is made by credit card, an admin fee of £49 will be incurred and a fee of 2.35% will be charged by your credit card provider.
