FAQ

General information

What are the benefits of a DKV fuel card?

With a fuel card from DKV Mobility, you can refuel without cash and across all brands as well as pay for other services. It also makes bookkeeping easier for any commercial business. Because the fuel card eliminates the need to collect and process fuel invoices. You receive a "tax consultant-ready" invoice that you can simply pass on.

When is a fuel card worthwhile?

Even with just one vehicle, you benefit from the advantages of our fuel card. A fuel card is therefore worthwhile from just one vehicle.

Who can order a fuel card?

Any trader can apply for a fuel card.

How is a fuel card invoiced?

With DKV Mobility, for example, you receive a invoice every two weeks that lists all transactions by license plate number or driver. This invoice amount is then debited by us via SEPA mandate. This gives you additional liquidity. In your private login area, you can view all transactions at any time and manage your cards.

At which fuel station can I pay with the DKV Card?

DKV Mobility offers you the largest supply network in the industry with around 67,000 filling stations and around 687,000 publicly accessible charging points across Europe. This includes branded filling stations such as Shell, Aral and Total, as well as low-cost and independent filling stations. Acceptance is normally indicated at the fuel pump or via a DKV sign at the filling station. If you are looking for a specific filling station, you can do this in our station finder or in our DKV Mobility App.

Why is there a difference between the price displayed at the filling station and the price on my invoice?

When refueling with a DKV fuel card at Aral and Shell stations, it can happen that the gross price basis is a relatively high list price that does not correspond to the price displayed at the filling station. If you use the displayed prices as a guide, there may be differences on the final invoice. For the greatest possible transparency, the list prices are available at all times in your DKV Mobility customer area and in our DKV Mobility App einsehbar. Zudem machen die Listenpreis-Tankstellen nur einen kleinen Teil unseres Gesamtnetzes in Deutschland aus. An allen anderen Tankstellen wird auf Pumpenpreisbasis abgerechnet, der Bruttobezugspreis entspricht also dem am Preismast ausgezeichneten Preis der jeweiligen Tankstelle zum Zeitpunkt der Tankung. Ob es sich um eine Tankstelle mit Listenpreis handelt, lässt sich ebenfalls über die DKV Mobility App oder in Ihrem DKV Mobility Kundenbereich herausfinden. Bei der Preisinformation zu der einzelnen Tankstelle ist immer vermerkt, wann diese Information zuletzt aktualisiert wurde. Sollte dort 0:00h stehen, handelt es sich um einen Listenpreis, der für den gesamten Tag an dieser Tankstelle gilt. Steht dort eine andere Uhrzeit (z.B. 15:36h), dann ändert sich bei dieser Tankstelle im Tagesverlauf auch der Preis. Unsere Empfehlung: Um immer möglichst günstig zu tanken, lohnt sich vor jeder Betankung ein Blick in die DKV Mobility App. There you can easily select the cheapest fuel station in the area.

Who is liable for card theft?

As soon as we receive your theft report, you are released from liability in accordance with our General Terms and Conditions. We will then block your card immediately. Furthermore, the card cannot be used without knowing the PIN.

How does a fuel card work?

After refueling, go to the cash desk at the filling station and present your fuel card. Then enter the current mileage and your personal PIN. The PIN is unique for each card and can be determined by yourself or generated by the system. You use it to authorize the transaction and can then resume your journey. The advantage: you do not have to keep any fuel bills. As an option, you can also use APP&GO, our contactless payment function, at many petrol stations via the DKV Mobility App.

Can I limit my fuel card?
