Fuel pricing needn’t be complicated. So as a Z Business Plus customer, you'll save 8c per litre off the pump price on all fuel, every time you fill up at a Z, Caltex or Challenge. You'll see what you save on your invoice each month. From time-to-time, we also run promotions for our Z Business customers to save even more. To ensure you don't miss these specials, make sure your email address is up-to-date.
Every month, you'll receive a detailed invoice report listing your fuel savings. Please note that fuel savings won't be shown on individual purchase receipts.
If you purchase more than 50,000 litres a year, you could be eligible for even bigger fuel savings. Call us on 0800 Z ENERGY (0800 936 374) to discuss your needs, and we'll recommend the best solution for you.

To help you manage your fuel cards, you can include a name or the vehicle registration plate number on each card. If you do not want to have a specific name or vehicle number, simply type Open or NA into the field.
Please note that if you choose to order Z Business fuel card(s) with specific vehicle registration numbers or a driver's name displayed on the card(s), this is for your management purposes only and is not considered an additional security protection. Z is not responsible for checking if the vehicle or driver matches the details listed on the Z Business fuel card.
Absolutely. You're in control of who gets to spend what, where and when.
Every transaction using a Z Business fuel card requires a 4-digit PIN. Here's how to set and re-set the PIN.
New cards
The first time a new fuel card is used in-store, the holder will be prompted to enter, then re-enter a 4-digit PIN. Once set, that PIN is required to authorise all future transactions.
Re-setting a PIN
Should you need to re-set a PIN, simply call us on 0800 Z ENERGY (0800 936 374). If you need an instant re-set, please let the operator know.
Please be aware of your responsibilities concerning PIN set-up, safety and management.

Cashflow is the lifeblood of business. Which is why we offer you the flexibility to personalise account billing to suit your business. These are your invoice date options:
Every invoice you receive includes:
We believe fees should be simple, transparent and great value. Which is why with Z Business Plus we'll only ever charge you $5 a month, no matter how many cards you have or add. You also have the choice to pay annually for just $50 a year, saving you $10. Simply call 0800 Z ENERGY (0800 936 374) if you'd prefer to pay fees annually. Monthly account fees are included as part of your regular invoice.
Your fuel discount is applied on your monthly invoice, so you won't see it on your receipt when you purchase fuel. Instead, you'll see your total fuel savings on fuel purchases detailed within your invoice.
With Z Business you'll get up to 40 days of credit from the date of purchase.
Payment is automatically deducted from your nominated account via direct debit 10 days after the invoice period.
When you sign up for Z Business, we'll ask you to nominate a preferred bank account. This will become the account we use to direct debit your invoice total, which includes all fuel card spend and account fees.
If, for any reason, you've missed or cannot pay your invoice in full, please contact us as soon possible:

To add an extra layer of driver accountability and spend reconciliation, account holders can insist drivers enter odometer readings on fuel purchases. Then every time drivers settle fuel purchases with a Z Business fuel card, they'll be asked to enter an odometer reading at the till.
