Business fleet cards are indispensable tools for companies aiming to streamline fuel expenses, increase savings and improve the management of vehicle operations. Whether you operate a small local delivery service or a nationwide business, the right fuel card program can significantly reduce costs, enhance driver accountability and optimize cash flow.
Esso™ and Mobil™ fuel cards deliver value through wide acceptance at over 2,000 stations across Canada, customizable purchase limits and volume-based discounts on petrol and diesel.
The Esso™ and Mobil™ Business Fleet Card Program offers tailored solutions for businesses of all sizes, providing flexibility, convenience and robust control over fuel-related spending.
Why your Company Needs a Business Fleet Card
Managing fleet fuel costs is a persistent challenge for business owners. Relying on reimbursements or petty cash often results in inefficient tracking, inaccurate reports and limited oversight of driver expenses. A fuel card centralizes these transactions, making it easier to monitor usage, limit unauthorized spending and access detailed data on vehicle performance.

Key Benefits of Business Fleet Cards
Business fleet cards are loaded with benefits that help streamline fleet management. While the list of advantages can get quite long, we are going to highlight five that help with efficiency and cost savings.
1. Control Fuel Spending
Both Esso™ and Mobil™ business fleet cars are equipped with purchase controls. The Business Card has basic controls, while the Premier Plus Business Card is equipped with customizable controls. Both options give fleet managers control over fuel purchases. With Premier Plus, companies can set limits by time of day, product type (diesel or petrol), transaction volume, total amount spent and more. Using purchase controls prevents misuse, reduces fraud and ensures compliance with corporate policies.
2. Simplified Tracking and Reporting
With Esso™ and Mobil™, every purchase is recorded in near real time. Transaction details are recorded, eliminating the need for employees to collect receipts or submit reports. This information can be viewed in automated reports with itemized purchase details. Detailed reports help flag suspicious activity and identify opportunities for cost savings. An online dashboard helps you manage multiple cards, monitor balances, and track fuel usage per driver or vehicle.
3. Fuel Savings Through Volume Discounts
With Esso™ and Mobil™, the more you fuel, the more you save. Esso™ and Mobil™ fleet fuel cards offer tiered rebates based on fuel volume, improving cost predictability and profit margins.
4. Enhanced Security & 24/7 Monitoring
With real-time alerts and card controls, Esso™ and Mobil™ fleet cards help businesses spot anomalies instantly. Around-the-clock monitoring helps protect against fraud and ensures your fleet is fueling efficiently.
5. Operational Efficiency
Fleet cards eliminate manual expense tracking, streamline billing and reduce administrative overhead. Options to pay bills online and schedule billing statements provide further convenience and reduce paperwork.
How Fleet Cards Support Fleet Performance & Maintenance
Fleet fuel cards can help with vehicle performance and detect maintenance issues. The Premier Plus card, for example, captures odometer readings and calculates km/litre metrics, helping you plan maintenance proactively and identify underperforming vehicles.
Making the Right Choice: Which Fuel Card Suits your Business?
Choosing between the Business Card and Premier Plus comes down to fleet size, reporting needs and the level of control you require. Smaller businesses may find the simplicity and savings of the standard Business Card ideal, while larger fleets will benefit from Premier Plus’s enhanced insights and tailored tools.
