Shell fuel cards are accepted at all Shell-branded forecourts in the UK, plus a wide network of partner stations depending on the specific card type you hold. The Shell CRT (formerly the Shell Fuel Card) and the Shell Fleet Plus card have different acceptance networks, so where you can fill up depends on which card your fleet uses.

Shell-Branded Stations

All Shell forecourts: Every Shell-branded petrol station in the UK accepts Shell fuel cards. There are approximately 1,000 Shell stations across the country. 2

Shell V-Power available: Shell fuel card holders can use premium fuels including Shell V-Power petrol and diesel at participating Shell stations, with the spend recorded on the card account. 2

Partner and Multi-Network Acceptance

Shell Fleet Plus card: The Shell Fleet Plus card is accepted at over 3,700 sites in the UK, including branded stations such as Esso and Texaco as well as independents, via the wider fuel card network. 2

Allstar network overlap: Some Shell card products operate within broader fuel card networks, giving access to motorway services and non-Shell branded forecourts. Check your card documentation for the exact accepted network. 3

Card type matters: Fleet managers should verify acceptance by card type before issuing to drivers. A restricted Shell-only card will not work at Esso or BP sites, even if they appear nearby. 4

What Shell Fuel Cards Cannot Be Used For

Supermarkets not included: Shell fuel cards are not accepted at supermarket forecourts such as Tesco, Asda, or Morrisons. These sites operate their own pricing and payment systems. 2

Non-fuel purchases vary: Depending on your card settings, purchases may be restricted to fuel and AdBlue only. Shop purchases, car washes, and other items may be blocked by your fleet administrator. 4

Find the Cheapest Accepted Station Near You

Prices vary between Shell sites: Shell station prices can vary by several pence per litre depending on location, with motorway services typically the most expensive. Comparing before you drive makes a real difference. 1
