Free membership
Caltex StarCard is absolutely free — no annual fee, no subscription fee and no card replacement fee.
We have joint alliances with major fleet card issuers namely Absa, First Auto, Nedfleet and Standard Bank. Bank Alliance StarCards for fleets of vehicles are issued and controlled by selected financial institutions. These services include payment of toll fees, vehicle repairs and maintenance.
The bank issues the card and charges a fee for the services provided. Caltex bills the customer for on-the-road diesel and lubricant purchases at selected StarCard retail sites. The bank bills the customer for repairs, maintenance, toll charges and fillings at competitor sites.
All bank alliance card transactions are forwarded as billing information to the financial institutions for inclusion in their fleet management reports.
