Alarmingly, and as we all know all too well, fuel prices have risen by 26% since the start of 2022. Encouragingly, Driving Down is saving its average client 15% on their annual fuel expenses.
Driving Down Ltd has set out into the market to help UK businesses save on their fuel related costs. With rising fuel costs, unregulated prices, bad business practice & poor customer service all contributing to disgruntlement, its aim is to support businesses in getting the best deal firstly, from their current supplier or as a secondary option, finding a better deal elsewhere.
Different to all other fuel card businesses, Driving Down is NOT a fuel card reseller. The company works for its customer and is here to primarily save its clients’ money with their current provider and secure all important savings without having to switch provider or cards.
Over the last year Driving Down has worked with hundreds of customers and their total savings to date are an impressive £4 million+. The company is pushing hard to bring that figure towards £10 million before the end of 2022.
Here’s what their Director Nick Dodds has to say:
“Having worked within the industry and witnessed some pretty shocking and often shady practices in a wide range of areas, we believe there needs to be a change in the whole relationship between the supplier and the customer. As such, we manage that entire relationship on the customers behalf and take the headache away from their business, also saving them some significant amounts on their fuel in the process.”
Driving Down has also recently launched a new savings tool for UK customers using fuel cards. It’s called their ‘Infuelencer Reporting Tool’. By sending the company your transactional data for any drawings, they can return a full report which highlights the following:
- Identifying all surcharge usage on your cards. This includes non-core, non-bunker, surcharge sites on bunker cards, supermarket usage on fixed priced cards & highlighting which cards used it & when.
- Highlights all fees that you are being charged for that have no benefit to your account and therefore can be removed and save you money
- A full summary of all premium usage on the cards & unleaded drawings on a card that doesn’t apply a fixed rate for unleaded.
- A breakdown of all drawings by card name, by site name & by product, to better analyse your fuel usage over the specific period and identify any irregularities.
- A full hints and tip sheet which will give you advice on where you can be saving further by potentially changing your type of card, adding an additional network or using a more cost-effective site in the radius of a current transaction.
Some recent Driving Down client savings include:
- Direct Traffic Management Limited – £20k per annum saving & a £2,376 credit back
- Signal Traffic Management Limited – £29k per annum saving
- Opus Utilities & Recycling Limited – £28.5k per annum saving
