Choose the Right Shell Fleet Card for Your Business

Business Gas Card Solutions

The Shell Card collection of business gas cards, catered to both small businesses and large, offer an array of advantages dependent on a business’s needs. These fleet fuel cards are best used as a payment method for company vehicles’ gas or diesel usage, parts and service purchases, needed maintenance, and other fleet-related expenses.

While traditional business cards offer similar solutions, Shell’s business gas cards have increased functionality, the ability to closely track fuel expenses, and various rewards offerings that set them apart for any cardholder. All three of Shell’s business gas cards serve important business needs; they can be used at fuel providers nationwide, have limited to no card fee, and offer mobile fleet management and tracking capabilities. Shell Card fleet cards increased range of benefits and more specific focus on fuel savings make them the superior gas card option.

Gas Card Benefits

Shell gas and fueling expense data is collected with every transaction recorded – no need to collect receipts. You can track fuel expenses right on a dedicated mobile app as well, giving you immediate access to driver spending.

Real-time Transaction Data

All purchase information is logged as the transaction happens, which means you have immediate access to gas spending information – including any set spending limits.

Purchase Controls

As a fleet manager, you can set parameters for drivers, giving you control over gas card transactions and how much drivers spend. These spending limits are a powerful tool.

Simplified Accounting

Since fleet card platforms communicate with most accounting and bookkeeping software, all data is seamlessly sent to your accounting department, making billing easier.

All fleet card data is collected and housed in a dashboard, where you can view trends and insights to help you make better decisions about fleet management.

Why Shell?

Switching from a traditional credit card to a Shell Card, a business fuel card, offers your business great benefits. The advantages of a business gas card can be summed up in three words: consolidation, convenience and control.

Consolidating Fleet Expenses

Depending on the Shell fleet card you choose, you can pay for fuel, parts, services, maintenance, tires and more. With all fleet-related expenses handled under one payment method, you always have a clear understanding of how much you are spending on your fleet and where the money is going. This makes managing all your financial accounts easy and efficient.

The Convenience of Shell Fleet Cards

With the Shell Card Business Flex^™ fleet card, users can take advantage of acceptance at more than 95% of U.S. fueling stations and 45,000+ service locations. The Shell Card Business fleet cards are accepted at almost 13,000 Shell fuel stations across the United States — the most extensive retail fueling network in the country.

Shell also offers 24/7/365 customer service and online account management. With a Shell Account Manager, you can manage and monitor all these features from the convenience of your phone.

Using Purchase Controls

Shell business gas cards are equipped with purchase controls. This means a fleet manager can set customized purchase limits for a driver or vehicle. You can program dollar or gallon limits from a computer or phone, or you can limit card use based on the time of day or days of the week.

How Do Fuel Cards Save Money

Every fleet manager and business owner is concerned with maintaining budgets, saving company money and the bottom line. Many use fleet cards to reduce payments for fuel, set guardrails on spending, save on maintenance and discover cost-saving strategies.

When you choose a Shell fleet card, you are deciding to save money. All Shell gas cards offer rebates to help businesses reduce fuel spending — and purchase controls help drivers adhere to business fuel spending policies.

The savings go far beyond fuel rebates, getting a discount and setting spending controls. When you use a Shell fleet card at participating Jiffy Lube^® locations, you can save on oil change services and preventative maintenance. Leverage your fleet card data and reporting features of Shell fleet cards to find areas of overspending. With the reporting feature and data analytics, businesses can easily identify fuel-saving strategies like better routing and driver efficiency.

By optimizing routing, vehicles spend less time on the road, and you minimize unnecessary idling, reducing fuel consumption. With the reporting feature, a fleet manager can create driver-specific report cards, so drivers understand how driving efficiently impacts fuel consumption and vehicle wear and tear.
