Protect your business from rising diesel prices
There is NOTHING worse than doing the work and making no profit…..Pointless.
It’s even worse when something totally out of your control hits your profit, and what looked like a good little earner, becomes a frustrating break even (or loss making!) task.
Fuel can be a significant overhead in any business, and as a commodity it’s price can be very volatile. Just in 2020, the fuel card diesel price dropped from its peak by more than 28 pence, to then bounce back from its bottom by nearly 12 pence by the end of the year!
At Driving Down we are aware of a wide range of customers, who due to the way they quote in advance for jobs have previously had to take an ‘educated guess’ of what their fuel costs might be.
Examples of this include:
- Bus and coach companies, who sell their trips a long time in advance
- Contractors who quote on jobs and want to fix as many of your overheads as possible
This is why Driving Down has brought this offer to our members. With our partners we can fix your fuel card diesel prices for anywhere from a month up to a year. And what’s more it’s a really simple process:
- You tell us what volume of fuel you want to fix per week.
- You tell us how long, and when, you want to fix for.
- We give you a price and we agree a fix.
- If you’re already a fuel card member, we apply this to your cards straight away. Otherwise, administration to get you set up is quick and you’re off and running.
- At the end of each month you get billed for the amount you’ve decided to fix, plus any additional drawings you may have used on your fuel card (if applicable).
If you think your business could benefit by getting a longer term fix for your fuel prices, then get in touch with Driving Down today.
