Fuel FAQ

Fuel is a key cost to any business. With your Ruralco Cards you’ll consistently save at least 12c* per litre off the listed pump price, with no volume limits, at over 300 fuels sites nationwide, ensuring a continuous supply of fuel wherever you are. With a single monthly billing system, you save time, money and get a clear view of your monthly fuel consumption.

FAQ’s

How much do I save using my Ruralco Card or Ruralco Mobilcard?

You will save 12c off the listed pump price. The 12c discount is always the same for both the Ruralco Card and Ruralco Mobilcard.

Can I save more than 12c?

Yes, at our Ruralco Allied Hinds Fuel stop you will save 16c per litre by using your Ruralco Card. With the present competitive pricing in the South Island, at some sites you will receive the very competitive pump price plus a further 12c Ruralco discount which can provide a total discount of up to 30c off the National price.  

What if another company is offering 15c off?

We monitor competitor pricing, and you will need to know the detail of their offer. Often, the 15c discount will not be off the pump price but off the current national price. For example, if the current national price is $1.479 with a 15c discount this means you pay $1.329, compared to current pump pricing of $1.249 with a 12c discount, this means you pay $1.129, which is a far bigger saving

Why do I need to have both cards?

Some of our fuel sites will only accept a Ruralco Mobilcard or the Ruralco Card, not both.

Is there a limit as to how much fuel I can buy?

No, you can purchase as much as you like. If you would like to control your spend, our Ruralco Mobilcard will allow you to control the amount purchased each transaction or per month or whether you can purchase petrol only, diesel only or all purchases etc.

How do I know I have received the discount?

All purchases made on your Ruralco Card or Ruralco Mobilcard during the month will appear on your monthly Ruralco statement and will list the discounted amount per transaction.
