Why a Fleet Fuel Card Could Be Right for Your Business

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?

You pull up to the pump, shut off your engine, and reach for your wallet. You’ve got enough cash in your wallet to fill your tank, but you also have a credit card or two in there, both of which the gas station accepts.

Using a credit card when you travel could make travel easier, get you out of a bind, and even earn you discounted or free travel. Check out these eight reasons why you should include at least one credit card on your packing list before your next trip.
