Choosing the best fuel card for your business

You naturally want your employees to have everything they need to do their job as well and as efficiently as possible. It is not only technological tools such as a smartphone and a laptop that matter here; the necessary means of transport should also be provided, such as the best fuel card, for example, to be able to make customer visits and attend meetings at partners’ premises smoothly.Do your employees have a company car and a fuel card? Then it pays to compare the latter very carefully to find the best fuel card. Here is how to choose the best fuel card for your company.

The best fuel card: depending on coverage

There are many different criteria for determining the best fuel card. Start by asking yourself where your employees are most likely to get their cards. This often reveals the usefulness of broad geographical coverage, with petrol stations close to all their familiar routes, but also consider the possibility of allowing them to refuel abroad. You see: the best fuel card is a little different for every company, because not everyone sends their employees across national borders, for example.

At MAES, you have both options: our multi-brand fuel card allows your team to fill up at our own stations as well as at branches of Esso, Texaco and G&V, among others. Your people will always have a filling station nearby at home and abroad. You read it right: they can also fill up at EssoTexaco, Haan and Vissers in the Netherlands and at Esso stations in Luxembourg with their MAES fuel card for companies. More than 1,700 stations in the Benelux: check.

Choosing the best fuel card: price is also a factor

By choosing a fuel card that allows you to fill up cheaply, you obviously save a lot of money. At MAES, you never pay a penny too much, because our prices are among the lowest in the market. And that is not all, because you can apply for our fuel card for companies completely free of charge and there is no minimum purchase.

The best fuel card varies from passenger to truck

The criteria of what is the best fuel card for your organisation may also differ depending on the composition of your fleet – unless you choose the fuel card from MAES, because we offer the widest range of fuels, from AdBlue to CNG and LPG, and even have tailored services for transport companies thanks to our partnership with Eurowag.

The best fuel card = the least administration

Finally, of course, you don’t want to make things unnecessarily difficult for yourself. So in your search for the best fuel card, look for the administrative extras that the fuel card providers have in store for you, such as an online management platform where you can see how much your employees have already filled up, and where they in turn can consult their personal information. MAES already sets a good example with ‘My MAES’. Moreover, we group all purchases twice a month on a transparent invoice, which again means a lot of administrative convenience. And then there is the handy MAES-App with which you can not only find the nearest station but also refuel on your mobile.

Frequently asked questions

Is mobile refueling possible anywhere?

Mobile refueling is currently only possible on our own network of about 300 stations. Soon you will also be able to do this on our entire fuel card network.

Where can I find my original PIN code?

The app uses the original PIN code, which you received in the accompanying letter when you received the card. If you have already changed this code and you no longer have the original one, you can of course always request it via the MAES fuel card service. Please note that you do this via an e-mail address known to us.

Which pin code should I use for the MAES app

During registration you can enter a pin code for using the app. This pin code can be your personal pin code and does not have to be that of the fuel card. You will have to enter this every time, if you do not work via fingerprint, when you want to refuel mobile.

You do need the original pin code of the fuel card to insert the fuel card for the first time. If you no longer have this, you can always request it via [email protected]. Please note that you do this via an e-mail address known to us (for example, where the invoices will appear).

Do I have to create a new account or can I use this from MY MAES?

You need to create a new account for the app. You can complete this in a few short steps and then you can link your fuel card to it. For invoicing we still look at the data on “My MAES”.
