Fuel is the second largest cost in fleet after depreciation, with many predicting that fuel costs may well become the highest considering the unprecedented price rises we are experiencing. FairTrades members can save Up to 17p / litre on Motorway fuel providers and Up to 8p per litre on commercially priced fuels. The estimated average fuel consumption in a year is around 3000litres. That is an estimate savings in real terms of between £240 up to £510; greater if you use this benefit for both commercial and home vehicles. TMC is Europe’s leading fuel and mileage management company, not simply a fuel card reseller.

• All fuel cards are Chip and Pin enabled therefore this allows us to manage your Fuel Policy through the Chip.
• Offers fixed fuel prices each week.
• Comprehensive management information including 100% accurate MPG reporting and CO2 reporting.
• Site location downloads available for all major phone and sat nat systems, plus site directories available if required.
