Save money on van deals and fuel costs with Checkatrade

Recent research from the Federation of Master Builders shows the average builder spends roughly 2 ½ years driving their van. This means you might need to change your transport out sooner than you might think. Take a look at the exclusive savings our members can make in this area for new vehicles and fuel.

Saving money on travel costs

Whether you’re a longtime builder or someone just getting into plumbing, you probably already know that tradespeople travel a lot. This inevitably means buying more fuel than you’d like and investing in new van parts every few years.

Fortunately, if you sign up with Checkatrade, you can make great savings in these areas. In fact, we offer discounts on numerous big-name brands, including Mercedes-Benz, Fiat, and Esso.

Take a look below to see exactly how our membership can help you save money in these areas.

Our exclusive Mercedes-Benz van deals

One of our favourite partnerships, our Mercedes-Benz van deal gives Checkatrade members up to 10% off eVito vans.

On top of this, our Mercedes-Benz deal includes discounts on the ever-popular Sprinter, which is fitted with smart connectivity solutions. It also includes advanced safety systems designed to keep you one step ahead of the competition.

Those interested can get the Sprinter in the model year 2018, 314, FWD, and RWD models.

Thanks to these great deals, a number of our members have already taken advantage of them. Such Phoenix Electrical & Plumbing Services.

For Managing Director Daniel Hopkins, the offer’s main appeal wasn’t just the savings made at the pump, but the administrative benefits. He commented:

“As a company we operate a fleet of seven vans, so it made sense to issue all our drivers with a card. Of course, it’s always nice to save money and I’m glad the card offers a discount on fuel, but the big thing for us is the admin side. Expenses and VAT returns have been made so much easier now that drivers don’t need to pay at the point of purchase, we’re saving a lot of time.”

Our exclusive Fiat Chrysler Automobile Group offers

Besides deals on Mercedes-Benz vans, our offers also extend to a number of other vehicle suppliers. For example, we’re proud to offer our members savings across all Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) brands.

This includes passenger vehicles from Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Jeep, and Abarth. Our deal even includes savings of up to 46.5% on the Fiat Professional range of commercial vans.

In other words, you can make exception savings on any purchase.

Naturally, there are a number of models you can choose from. But one of the most popular included in our deal is the impressive range of Fiat Ducato Vans.

This model has been a mainstay on British roads for over 35 years and is highly customisable. In fact, there are over 10,000 variations to choose from.

This means that, whatever your business objectives might be, there’s likely to be a model that’s perfect for you.

Our exclusive Esso deals

Lastly, we know that getting a vehicle on the road is only part of the cost of being a trader. You also need to make regular fuel stops as well. This is why we’ve teamed up with leading fuel card providers, Wex Europe Services and Esso.

Through this deal, you can save an average of 5p per litre, allowing for highly competitive fuel pricing. The card itself is free for Checkatrade members.

It’s certainly made a huge difference to Bits Bobs & Odd Jobs Ltd, a multi-trade firm from London. The firm’s owner Chris Gilbey commented:

“We’re no longer at the whim of price volatility, which can be particularly problematic in the fuel market. Now we get a set price through every week, which is always cheaper than what’s on offer elsewhere.”
