We provide the key points on where and how you are overpaying
Service fee taxes
Major card distributors obtain the best possible prices from standard fuel station networks, then add their markup, which is determined by your fuel consumption in liters. On top of that, they apply an additional service fee to maintain their massive and inefficient management system.
Why LocalFuel? None of the suppliers we represent charge this fee.
Paid Customer Portal
Despite their high markups, major card distributors often require you to manage many services through a self-service customer portal. This helps them further reduce administrative costs, but using the portal is often charged to you.
Why LocalFuel? Basic services with us are always free of charge.
Currency Conversion
When you refuel in a country where the local currency is not EUR, major fuel card distributors and suppliers apply their own exchange rates (currency mark-ups), which can be as high as 6%. While they may tell you that this is a complex process and all within the rules, that's not the case. It's simply another way for them to increase their profit margin.
Why LocalFuel? With our suppliers, you can pay invoices in the original currency.
Special or Max Price Fuel Stations
Often, a fuel card distributor will offer you a limited network of stations with unrealistically low prices, but any refueling at another station in the network will be without a discount, with the claim that no discounts apply there. This is a complete scam, as each refuel at an "incorrect" station generates record profits for them.
Why LocalFuel? At all the stations we serve, you will get a single price.
VAT Refund Restrictions
There are cases where major players impose unreasonable requirements on their clients, stating that they cannot use a different fuel station network because "we won't be able to refund VAT" from it. This is a complete lie, and market players are simply trying to maintain their volumes by not giving you any alternatives.
Why LocalFuel? Choose what you want. We want to focus on what we do best.
