If you own a business that uses vehicles, you always have to monitor fuel costs. A lot of people wonder,  what’s the best way to pay for fuel and track fuel expenses.

A lot of businesses have employees use cash or a company credit card to pay for fuel. But cash is easily lost or stolen, and you have little control over how much is spent at one time. Credit cards keep track of basic info like location and purchase amount, which don’t tell you much about your spending. Either way, you likely have to chase down fuel receipts and do the accounting yourself. More and more businesses rely on fleet cards because they do more than just purchase fuel. Keep reading to learn the benefits of switching to a Marathon fleet fuel card.

Save at the Pump

Marathon fleet fuel cards let you save up to 7¢ a gallon at the pump, when you fill up at a Marathon location. They’re volume-based rebates, so the more your business fuels, the more you save. If you’re able to consolidate your fueling at Marathon, the Marathon Fleet Card is a great choice for savings. If you need a little more flexibility in where to fuel, don’t worry—the Marathon Universal Card is accepted at 95% of U.S. gas stations, and you still save up to 7¢ a gallon at Marathon.

Manage Risk

Marathon fleet fuel cards help you stop fraud and theft from taking a bite out of your bottom line.
Drivers are required to enter a PIN for every transaction. This helps prevent the card from being used if it’s lost or stolen. It also allows you to track who spends what, when and where.

You can also curb wasteful spending by setting spending limits by card or employee, limiting purchases by product, dollar amount, and even the time of day or week.

Reduce Paperwork and Save Time

Clear your schedule of busywork and focus on your business with automatic accounting and reports. Beyond basic info like location and amount, you also capture details like employee, sales tax, and fuel grade for every purchase. That means you no longer have to spend time tracking down fuel receipts.
