Esso’s Fuel Discount and Rebate Program

Esso provides multiple avenues for businesses to save money on their fuel purchases. One of the key benefits is the tiered volume discount structure, where the savings per unit of fuel increase with higher monthly consumption. This means the more fuel your fleet uses, the greater the rebates your company receives. These fuel rebate structures ensure both large fleets and small business operations can achieve considerable savings on their fuel costs.

Beyond offering direct savings through volume-based discounts, the Esso and Mobil Business Fleet Card Program also provides security and control extending far beyond traditional credit cards, tools for streamlining virtually every aspect of fleet management, access to superior fuel and a competitive rewards program.

Protect Your Fleet

Unparalleled Security and Control

The Esso and Mobil Business Fleet Card Program incorporates advanced security and control features designed to safeguard businesses against fraud and unauthorized spending, providing essential peace of mind and financial protection. These features elevate the Esso fuel card from a simple payment instrument to an active component of a business’ risk management strategy, ensuring fuel expenses remain under strict control.

Security Features Offering Peace of Mind

Each Esso card is equipped with Personal Identification Number (PIN) protection. Only authorized personnel can conduct transactions at the pump. PINs, the program includes real-time fraud monitoring and alerts designed to promptly detect and flag suspicious activities. Should a card be lost or stolen, fleet managers can instantly deactivate it through the online dashboard. This rapid response capability provides a robust defense against unauthorized purchases.

Cards with Customizable Purchase Controls

Beyond foundational security, the Esso program empowers businesses with comprehensive purchase controls. These card controls allow fleet managers to define and enforce fueling policies at the point of sale. Managers can set various spending limits and restrictions, including limits on purchase amounts (per transaction, per day, week or month), the types of products that can be purchased (e.g., fuel only, excluding items like parts or general merchandise unless authorized), specific times of day or days of the week when cards can be used and even the geographic locations where transactions are permitted. This granular level of control offers superior flexibility compared to a standard credit card.

Better Fleet Management

Online Card Account Management

Businesses using Esso fleet cards benefit from an easy-to-use and easy-to-access dashboard. This online portal, accessible via desktop and a convenient mobile app (the Fleet SmartHub app), enables fleet managers to monitor account activity, manage individual cards, make payments and access detailed reports in real time. The system offers automatic expense tracking and fuel accounting, significantly reducing the administrative burden associated with manual record-keeping and facilitating more accurate budgeting and forecasting. No more chasing drivers for receipts for reimbursement purposes.

Leverage Data and Reporting for Fleet Efficiency

The Esso and Mobil Premier Plus Business Card offers an advanced suite of reporting options, including summary and purchase activity reports, odometer reading capture, and crucial vehicle performance metrics such as cost per litre and kilometres per litre. These detailed reports can be customized and provide insights into transactions by vehicle or driver, allowing for meticulous tracking of where and how often vehicles refuel. This data can be leveraged to identify underperforming vehicles, pinpoint suboptimal driving habits or highlight opportunities for route optimization. Such analytics empower businesses to make strategic decisions aimed at lowering overall fleet operating costs.

On-the-go Fleet Fuel Management

The availability of the Fleet SmartHub mobile app further enhances convenience and control for fleet managers. This app provides on-the-go access to account information, transaction monitoring and card management features. Whether in the office or on the road, managers can stay informed and responsive, making quick decisions regarding their fleet’s fuel usage and security.
