What Is a Fleet Card or Fuel Card?
Ever since internal-combustion-engine vehicles started being used for business, business owners have pondered the best way to keep their vehicles fueled and on the road. Should they use cash, which requires supplying drivers with money upfront? Or have them pay out-of-pocket and reimburse them later, after they’ve submitted expense reports and receipts? Should they invest in on-site fueling, which requires a significant outlay of capital and really only makes sense for companies with larger fleets of vehicles? Or should they use company credit cards, which can be used to purchase most anything, including items companies don’t want their drivers buying?
