Fuel card management

How does fuel card management work?

We manage a client base using more than 80 million litres a year. That gives us large commercial buying advantages, so we can get better prices from the fuel card companies for you.

Buying power

Volume talks, and fuel card companies listen

Fuel card companies give us and our clients better rates because they would rather make 0.5p a litre on 55 million litres than 3p a litre on none.

01

Renegotiated every week

You get your price from your supplier as normal on a Friday. On Monday we send you the renegotiated price we've secured, and what it's expected to save you that month. Week in, week out.

02

Every invoice checked

We go through your invoice with a fine-tooth comb to find surcharges and fees we can remove or reduce, driving your fuel costs down further.

03

Zero disruption

You don't swap or change cards, so there's no disruption to your operations or your drivers. You just get a better price.

Step by step

From invoice to savings in four steps

  1. Send us your invoice

    A copy of your latest invoice from your current provider. If you can send the last three, even better.

  2. We calculate your saving

    We analyse your invoices and show you very clearly how unscrupulous your current provider has been.

  3. We take over

    We get started and manage your fuel costs from then on, stopping any unfair price hikes.

  4. Weekly and monthly reports

    Our savings reports keep you informed of every change and prove how well we're doing our job.

A vigilant eye

Save time, and potentially thousands of pounds a year

Our dedicated team monitors your prices and scrutinises every transaction to keep your costs as low as they can be.

  • We watch your price every week and quash any sneaky increases.
  • We flag unnecessary and costly purchases.
  • We're committed to maximising your savings while minimising the hassle.
A Driving Down weekly price email: the customer's price was negotiated down from 133.94 to 129.74, a monthly saving of £378.

What our customers say

Proof in the price per litre

"Using fuel cards had always been a big hassle for us. Every week the price seems to go up and charges get applied without your knowledge… I have calculated that since joining Driving Down in March 2021 they have reduced my BP price by 13p per litre and my Keyfuels price by 9p per litre, by negotiating my price every week… Over the course of the year on the volume of diesel we use, this saving amounts to thousands. The service they provide is invaluable to us and it gives me more time to concentrate on what I should be concentrating on: running my business!"

"In just one month we have saved £285, that is over £3,000 per year. What more can we say, if you want savings back in your business like this just give them a go, so glad we did."
