Pete Chiston had to say “The fast track training was very intense and a lot to take in over three days however the follow up support from my in car trainer David was great and tailored to meet my very hands on approach to learning, this in combination with the office support has meant that the process although at points very challenging was still a positive overall experience.”

WEX FUELCARD

Save on your fuel costs and cut down your admin work

As a RED Driver Training instructor, you are eligible to apply for your FREE Esso Card™ (usually costing £43 per card, per year). The Esso Card™ will give you a discount off every litre you fuel up with. There are no fees and you only pay for the fuel you use, at the preferential rates agreed.

The benefits:

RED Driver Training instructors can reap significant potential benefits with their Esso Card™:

  • Reduced fuel costs
  • More efficient route planning
  • Reduced administration burden.

The Esso Card™ removes the need for businesses to keep track of cash, reimburse individual drivers, or hand over a business credit card to employees. And because invoices are tax compliant, month-end accounting is much easier, giving RED Driver Training instructors more time and resources to focus on growing their business.
