Understanding NZ Fuel Cards: Off-Pump Vs Off-National Price Options

NZ Fuel Cards offers both Off-Pump Price and Off-National Price options for BP, Mobil and Z fuel cards. When we set up your fuel card account, we will look at which pricing structure is best for you in your area, and choose the most appropriate structure to help you get the best discounts. The majority of the time, this is Off-Pump pricing. Sometimes Off-National Price can be better (eg. at BP Truck stops, some regional areas, Premium petrol grades). But, what is the difference between Off Pump Price Vs Off National Price?

What is Off Pump Price? Explained with Examples

Off Pump Price is exactly as it sounds; a fixed discount off the pump price for every litre of fuel purchased. Simple. For example, a discount of 8c off the pump price of $2.029 equates to $1.949 per litre purchase price.

Deciphering National Pricing in New Zealand

National Pricing is where there is a single national price set for fuel across NZ by each of the fuel suppliers. This price, like pump pricing, fluctuates. NZ Fuel Cards then provides a discount off this set price.

Comparing Off-Pump Price Vs Off-National Price Discounts

In most instances we advise “off-pump” discounts, as the customer knows what they are getting every time. But there are circumstances where Off-National Price offers a better discount. For example, if you were purchasing Ultimate Diesel at BP in Wellington during May 2023, you would have saved between 10c and 20c per litre with our Off-National Price discount, compared to 8c with Off-Pump discount. Similarly, with our National Price discount at most BP Truck Stops around NZ you will save 16c per litre, compared to 8c with our off pump offer.

Understanding How Fuel Cards Work For Employees

Fuel cards are a convenient and cost-effective way for employees to purchase fuel for business-related travel. Essentially, a fuel card is a payment card that is provided by an employer to their employees for the specific purpose of purchasing fuel for company vehicles.

When an employee receives a fuel card, they will typically be given instructions on how to use it. In most cases, the card will work like a credit or debit card, and the employee will simply need to swipe or insert it at the pump to pay for their fuel.

Streamlining Expense Management with Fuel Cards

One of the benefits of using a fuel card is that it can make it easier for employers to track and manage their fuel expenses. Because all fuel purchases made with the card will be recorded, it can help employers to monitor usage and ensure that their fuel budget is being used appropriately.

Cost Savings and Efficiency for Employees

Another benefit of using a fuel card is that it can help employees to save money on fuel costs. Many fuel card programs offer discounts on fuel purchases, which can add up to significant savings over time.

The Overall Advantage of Fuel Cards for Businesses

Overall, fuel cards can be a great option for businesses that rely on company vehicles for transportation. By providing employees with a convenient and cost-effective way to purchase fuel, it can help to streamline operations and save money in the long run.

Understanding Why Every Business Needs Fuel Cards

One of the keys to being successful in running any business is to keep a close eye on costs. Given all of the areas you as a business owner or manager needs to keep abreast of, a simple tool like a fuel card can make all the difference both for your piece of mind, and your bottom line.

Overcoming Inefficiencies: Why Your Business Needs Fuel Cards

Without fuel cards, you’d be constantly giving employees cash to pay for fuel… or asking them to pay on their own card, keep the receipt, and you then reimburse them. Inefficient, paperwork-heavy (especially in tracking expenses for tax), and with the potential for fraud.

Streamlined Management: A Core Reason Your Business Needs Fuel Cards

This is why fuel cards exist; allowing you to pay for fuel from one account, manage and reduce your vehicle costs, and track all expenses easily. You can also forecast your monthly fuel costs, helping you stay within budget and tracking your servicing schedules.  You can be sure that your fuel card is being used by the right person and for the right reason. Paperwork is minimised, allowing you to focus your attention where it needs to be – on growing your business.

The Bottom Line

In short, you really should take the time to look into fuel cards for your business – it could save you more time and money than you think! Please feel free to contact us at [email protected] or 0800 111 391 and we’d be happy to help.
