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 customers can enjoy complimentary Qantas Business Rewards program membership which otherwise costs $89.50 (a one-off joining fee). With this program, you can earn Qantas Points on both your company and individual frequent flyer accounts, save with exclusive fare savings and earn additional points on business expenses with over 40 partners. You’ll collect 1 Qantas Point for every 1 litre of Vortex Premium fuels and every 2 litres of regular petrol or diesel purchased. You’ll also earn 1 Qantas Point per $1 spent on eligible products in-store or on services, repairs and parts.

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.
