Leaseplan Caltex Star Card

About StarCard

As part of an ongoing consolidation of preferred supplier arrangements, the Australian National University has negotiated a fuelcard arrangement. This sole supplier arrangement is with Leaseplan Australia who provide a Caltex Starcard.

Advantages of the Caltex StarCard solution for the University are:

• Petrol prices at a negotiated discounted pump price for ULP (including E10), PULP, Diesel, LPG.
• Single, electronic invoices, minimum of monthly.
• Caltex has the largest number (and range of locations) of outlets Australia wide.

Caltex StarCards are designed for use by Companies that have a large number of fleet vehicles. The University currently has approximately 250 cars based in Canberra, Sidings Springs, Tenant Creek and NT areas.   Details of the University vehicle fleet can be obtained by contacting the University Fleet Manager, Mr Neil Ross on 6125 2518, or by email, mailto:Neil.Ross@anu.edu.au

In accordance with the University agreement, the University Starcard does not have to be signed. Please ignore the signature block on the back of the card.

The majority of Caltex StarCards issued to University vehicles contain information such as the car registration details and the cost centre, against which the card has been issued. The cost centre is the University cost centre, or budget unit, against which the charges will be allocated.

Convenience/Access

Caltex Starcards gives you access to Australia's largest oil company network, with over 2,500  Caltex, service stations.  This includes 470 Caltex Woolworths service stations.

A detailed guide of all locations can be found in the StarCard Location at the website below: http://www.nowwhere.com.au/caltex/austlocator/search.aspx

Your card will be ready for collection from University Fleet Services, located at University Fleet Services, Building #53, Garran Road.

Having a Second Fuel Card

Why does the University want to use the one brand of fuel card?

• To maximise discounts through high volume purchasing
• To have a single database of all cars on Campus.
• Odometer information can prompt reporting for vehicle servicing, disposal and fuel consumption etc.
• The University can also use the information to assist with the FBT returns (for those vehicles affected).
• The odometer reading prompt will, over a period of time, become intelligent enough for the operator at the Point of Sale, to query the provision of the information for accuracy based on the usage.
• Minimise card fees
• Detailed Management Information (eg Pricing)
• Electronic Invoicing

What Service Stations Will Accept the StarCard

Over 2500 locations nationally will accept the Caltex StarCard, including:

• Caltex/Ampol service stations Australia wide
• Woolworths service stations
• Ampol & Caltex agency locations.

Working in remote areas

Staff working in remote locations on field trips etc may not have the option of using the Caltex StarCards because other oil companies may not accept the card. Please check the Caltex StarCard Location Guide on the following site for the locations of service stations accepting the card:

http://www.nowwhere.com.au/caltex/austlocator/search.aspx

Consideration will be given to separate arrangements being made (via University Fleet Services) in these instances. It may be that a range of alternatives have to be considered for example, the ANU Purchase Card, an invoice arrangement, vouchers, another vendors card etc.

Please e-mail your requirements to your transport officer or to mailto:anu.fuelcard@anu.edu.au University Fleet Services will then review and discuss the best arrangements to suit your needs in conjunction with your transport officer.
