Retail Decisions launches new Motorpass Diesel card

14 MAY 2009: BRISBANE, QUEENSLAND – Retail Decisions today launched the newest addition to its fuel card range, the Motorpass Diesel Card, offering cardholders substantial market driven savings with discounted weekly fuel at selected diesel fuel sites across Australia.

Independent owner drivers and subcontractor trucker drivers can now take advantage of a range of benefits, saving time and money while on the road. Customers simply nominate their preferred regions to receive an SMS every Tuesday detailing the week’s fixed diesel fuel discounts in their area[1].

At launch, the Motorpass Diesel Card will deliver discounts at 31 Golden Network diesel fuel sites in Queensland and Northern New South Wales, with a further 60 plus fuel sites planned nationally along major highways and interstate haulage routes the coming months.  In addition, customers can also use the Motorpass Diesel Card across the entire Motorpass network, which includes over 6,000 fuel sites and over 4,500 non-fuel sites across Australia.

Carl Clump, CEO of Retail Decisions says, “The Motorpass Diesel Card is a great way for truck drivers and transport operators to save time and money. Our Golden Network sites make it easier for drivers to cost effectively fuel up on the go.”

The Motorpass Diesel card provides a range of additional customer benefits, including simple, easy reporting with all customer expenses captured on one statement. The statements are ATO approved and GST compliant so cardholders never need to keep vehicle receipts again. Customers also receive detailed FBT and quarterly BAS reports.

Motorpass Diesel cardholders also receive significant fleet discounts at Bridgestone Tyre Centres and Bridgestone Select Stores, O’Brien Glass and Best Western locations across Australia as well as many other great deals. Motorpass Diesel also offers Truck Roadside Assist and SafeGuard, an authorised Maintenance and Repair program. All these additional services are also captured on the one simple monthly statement.

“With diesel discounts, nationwide customer service 24/7, price certainty and flexibility, fleet discounts from Bridgestone Tyres and from O’Brien, the Motorpass Diesel Card saves cardholders time, money and ultimately a lot of hassle,” Mr Clump concluded.
