The more of each you have, the better chance you have of making more money and ensuring profits are as healthy as they can be.
When it comes to running a fleet of vehicles for your business, the key is accurately managing expenses.
That’s where a fuel card like the Shell Card can make life a whole lot simpler – and give you more time to kick back with mates at the end of a long week.
“It’s great if you do all your research to get the best cars for your business, but if you’re not monitoring how much they’re costing to run then you may not be maximising your investment. This can be counterproductive to your business,” Ash Harris Shell Card Business Manager.
Using a Shell Card centralises all your fuel vehicle accounting, allowing you to keep an eye on exactly how much fuel each car is costing you. Whether you have two cars or 200, it’s a great way to keep on top of your fuel expenses and minimise admin.

Shell Card will also allow you to access your fuel transaction records in bulk so that you can easily supply them to your accountant.
“It’s not just you, the business owner, who will benefit from a Shell Card,” says Ash Harris Shell Card Business Manager.
“Everyone from your drivers to your admin staff can streamline their work week by simplifying the management of your fleet.”
And with online reporting tools you’ll have instant visibility to exactly how much fuel each vehicle – and the entire fleet – is costing.

More than that, a Shell Card will also track mileage. Every time you or one of your employees fills up they record the odometer reading, in turn creating a real-time record of how your vehicles are being used.
If you want, you can set limits on exactly what your crew can spend on the Shell Card. Cut out the chocolates and chips but allow them to buy petrol or diesel and vehicle maintenance items.
It’ll even save you money. With Shell Card you’ll get a 6 cent discount per litre of petrol or diesel (excludes LPG and AdBlue)*. And as anyone running a small business knows, there’s nothing as sweet as keeping more money in your pocket rather than someone else’s.
