Travelcard Nederland

What Travelcard Nederland does

Travelcard Nederland B.V. is a Dutch mobility-card provider founded in 1986 and headquartered in Almere, Netherlands, operating as a subsidiary of Corpay (the fleet/payments segment formerly known as Fleetcor). The company issues corporate mobility cards that consolidate fuel, EV charging, hydrogen, parking, carwash, toll, and minor-maintenance transactions onto a single monthly invoice, with acceptance at all Dutch fuel stations and 1,000,000+ European locations across fueling, charging, parking, and carwash. Its product portfolio comprises a combined Tank- en Laadpas (€4.95/month after a 3-month promotional rate), a standalone Laadpas (€1.95/month), European and prepaid cards, a hydrogen card, and segment variants for ZZP, MKB, fleet operators, and leasing companies — supplemented by a mobile app (iOS/Android) offering location finding, real-time pricing, and mobile fueling at ~30% of Dutch fuel stations.

The underlying platform layers accepted-location data across major EV networks (Tesla Superchargers, Fastned, IONITY, Allego, Shell Recharge, DKV's 55,000-70,000+ fuel stations) and integrates with accounting (AFAS, SAP, AccountView, XPO Fleet) and fleet management software (Miles, Carwise, Navision). Complementary services include Fit-to-Go minor maintenance via Kwik-Fit (€1.95/license plate/month), parking via Yellowbrick/ParkBee/Interparking/Q-Park, CO2 compensation (Clean Advantage), the TNO-benchmarked Fuel Cost Saving program, and e-Tol A24 electronic tolling. Reported scale includes 465,000+ users and 350,000+ business drivers, with the company stating it serves market-leading reach in the Netherlands and broad pan-European coverage.

Travelcard makes money primarily through recurring monthly card subscription fees (tiered from €1.95 to €7.75, with volume discounts down to €3.35 at 50+ cards), transaction/service fees on DKV-network European fuel and toll transactions, usage-based pass-through economics on fuel and charging volume, and add-on service fees (e.g., European coverage +€2.00/month, Fit-to-Go €1.95/license plate/month, prepaid one-time load). The go-to-market combines direct-to-consumer self-service via an online onboarding portal for ZZP and MKB segments, a dedicated sales team and account managers for fleet and leasing customers, distribution partnerships with DKV and Yellowbrick to broaden acceptance, and SEO-driven organic acquisition through its Dutch-language knowledge base. Headcount is modest (11-50 employees), consistent with shared back-office functions being handled at the Corpay parent level.
