About The Esso Card™ fuel card

WEX Europe Services, the owner of the Esso Card™ fuel card portfolio, is one of Europe’s largest providers of fuel cards. A fuel card is a really convenient way to pay for your (discounted!) fuel at a filling station, without the need for cash or a bank card.

Whether you need a fuel card just for you, or for your company fleet, it carries a multitude of additional benefits.

• Access more than 3,500 fuel stations across the UK with Esso Card™, meaning you won’t need to make long and costly route deviations to refuel.
• Receive HMRC-compliant invoices and up-to-the-minute reporting for month-end accounting, saving you arduous admin time.
• Fuel cards help to improve your company’s cash flow, as you’re not constantly reimbursing fuel costs.
• Use your fuel card to pay for tolls and provide telematics, so you can track driver progress and increase efficiency.
• Track the level of fuel used by specific drivers, vehicles, or cards.
• Control your costs by specifying which fuel and products can be bought on each card.
• Use your fuel card to pay for car wash services to keep your work vehicle looking the part.
• Protect your business with security features that flag up any usual activity on your account.
