Do you travel on the road a lot for work? If you answered yes, a Caltex fuel card could help you get more value every time you fill up your car. Caltex offers three different fuel cards including a corporate charge card, a personal debit card and a prepaid card. While all of these cards offer savings and perks, each caters for specific needs and offers different benefits.
Find out how the individual products work and weigh up which one is right for you with this guide to Caltex fuel cards.

These are the major features, fees and benefits of each Caltex fuel card type:
StarCard
The Caltex StarCard is a corporate fuel card available to Australian businesses. It offers a simple way to get extra value from your work road trips. For a monthly fee of $2.95 per card, you can receive discounts of 4 cents per litre on Vortex Premium fuels, 2 cents per litre on regular petrol or diesel, 10% on packaged lubricants and 5% on convenience items at selected sites.
This card could also help with managing business card costs as it comes with a single, ATO-approved monthly statement that tracks all of your company’s vehicle expenses. It also offers easy online management via myCaltex, as well as optional extras such as roadside assistance or vehicle repairs at an additional monthly cost.
StarCard Debit
The StarCard Debit card is available to individuals and is linked to your bank account. It offers discounts of 4 cents per litre on Vortex Premium fuels, 2 cents per litre on regular petrol or diesel and 5% on selected in-store convenience items.
You can also take advantage of the security of a personal PIN-protected card and the convenience of direct debit. Your bank account will initially be debited for a minimum amount of $200 when linked and this amount will be transferred to your StarCard Debit account for use. Whenever your StarCard Debit balance reaches the minimum balance (typically 25% of its initial balance), your linked bank account will be automatically debited again to top up your fuel card.
StarCash
The StarCash card is a prepaid fuel card much like a gift card. It can be purchased in multiple denominations of $25, $50, $100, $250 and $500 and also comes in digital format. StarCash is available for purchase from participating Caltex and Ampol service stations. You can also order StarCash online as either the Classic (physical) card or as a StarCash Digital card that can be instantly downloaded to your smartphone for cardless payments.
