The problem every driver knows

You can't earn
without fuel.
You can't buy fuel
without earnings.

Every SA e-hailing driver has been there. A slow weekend, unexpected car costs, or a late payout — and suddenly you're sitting at home while other drivers are making money.

With e-hailing platform commissions squeezing margins harder than ever, one empty tank can cost you an entire day of income. Fuelo breaks the cycle permanently.

Why Fuelo is different

Built for the road.
Not a desk.

🗺️

Any Garage in SA

Your Fuelo Mastercard works at Sasol, Engen, BP, Shell, Caltex — every petrol station with a card machine. No partner agreements. No limitations. Just tap and fill.

Instant Approval

Request any amount from R200 upwards. The Fuelo operator reviews your profile and approves in under 60 seconds. Card loads instantly on approval.

💳

Virtual Mastercard

A dedicated Mastercard loaded to your phone. Tap it at any fuel station terminal — the same way you tap for groceries. No card to carry. No PIN to remember.

🔒

Fuel Stations Only

Your Fuelo card is locked to fuel station merchant codes. It physically cannot be used anywhere else — at restaurants, shops, ATMs. Your float is fuel credit, nothing else.

🚗

Vehicle-Linked Accounts

Every account is linked to a specific plate number and VIN. One vehicle, one account — no fake registrations, no fraud. Your credit history is tied to your real identity.

🎁

Refer & Earn R150

Refer a fellow driver using your unique code. Once they complete their first repayment, you both get R150 fuel credit loaded onto your cards. Automatically.

Simple. Fast. Done.

Four steps to a full tank.

Tap & Repay

🛡️

Vehicle-Locked Accounts

Your account is permanently linked to your vehicle's plate number and VIN. One vehicle, one account — making fake registrations impossible.

📋

Licence Verified

Every driver submits front and back photos of their driver's licence during registration. Accounts are manually verified before any credit is issued.

💳

MCC-Locked Card

Your Fuelo Mastercard is restricted to fuel station merchant codes only. It cannot physically be used at restaurants, shops, or ATMs.

⏱️

4-Hour Expiry

Every card load expires automatically after 4 hours. If you don't fuel up, the load reverses and your credit is restored. No funds left floating.

🏢

Registered SA Company

Fuelo is a registered South African PTY Ltd with formal driver agreements, POPIA-compliant data handling, and real legal protection for both parties.

🔔

Real-Time Notifications

Every approval, card load, spend, and repayment triggers an instant push notification — so you always know exactly what's happening with your account.

Common questions

Everything you
need to know.

What garages can I use?
Any fuel station in South Africa that has a card terminal. Sasol, Engen, BP, Shell, Caltex — even small independent stations. As long as they take Mastercard, your Fuelo card works there.
How do I repay?
On Tuesday when Uber, Bolt or inDriver pays you. The amount is your draw plus the 15% service fee. Always shown clearly before you confirm.
Do I need a bank account?
You need a way to make an EFT payment for repayment — a bank account, FNB eWallet, or similar. You don't need a credit record or a formal credit check to join Fuelo.
What happens if I don't repay?
Your account is suspended until the outstanding balance is cleared. Persistent non-payment results in permanent account closure and possible legal collection action. Fuelo is a credit product — repayment is required.
How is my credit limit set?
Your initial limit is R500. As you use Fuelo and repay consistently, your limit grows automatically — up to R2,000 for individual drivers. Fleet accounts have higher ceilings.
Is my information safe?
All data is stored securely on Firebase and protected under POPIA. Your licence images are encrypted at rest. Your vehicle details are used only to verify your identity and prevent fraud.
When does the app launch?
We're onboarding our founding batch of drivers now — city by city. Join the waitlist and we'll notify you when Fuelo launches in your area. Johannesburg is first.
Can my whole fleet join?
Yes. Fleet owners get a separate dashboard to manage all their drivers, set individual limits, and see consolidated billing. Contact us directly for fleet onboarding.
