Best aviation fuel card?

[Oxman]

I"m looking to get a fuel card account for the company. What are some of the better fuel cards? I've seen Air Boss etc... How much discount on average do they offer? Which one is accepted in most places?

Thanks.

Honestly I don't think there is a best one; but the most widely accepted I've found is MultiService then AvCard or Phillips

We had AvCard for the King Air.

CAA is a good fuel discount program to look into

I think it's Avtrip under the AvFuel program.

You earn points through gallons or promotions that the FBO sets up like double points etc...

5000 (I think) gets you a $50 savings bond. Pretty easy return on investment.

Thanks guys. That's a good start. Time to research.

If you're burning Jet A, you should be using contract fuel cards, at least the free one's. I am currently enrolled in AvFuel, Airboss and Everest, but plan on adding all of the majors over the next month. I've seen savings anywhere from .10 cents to well over a dollar per gallon. I am most interested in CAA. There is an annual fee but i'm told that within a couple fill up the savings will cover the annual fee plus NBAA membership.

Heres a list though of the majors.

AvFuel
Everest
Mariah Fuels
World Fuel
Colt Fuel
UvAir
C.A.A.
Airboss

I'm sure I am leaving others out, but the list above is a great start.

If you fly a lot expect to save at least 10k if not much more per year. Jet A only though...

Shoot we use Colt, Avcard, Multiservice, Universal, and 3 or 4 others. They all seem to work fine.

We used AvFuel for the Mustang - seemed to work well and was accepted almost anywhere

If you are going to participate yourself in contract fuel I recommend not limiting yourself to one program. Some have better savings than others at certain airports, and it takes you about 10 minutes per leg to compare all of the pricing.

No Jet A, just ALOT of 100LL.
