Head-to-Head
How Rally compares to Allstar, feature by feature.
Acceptance, pricing, EV charging, driver workflows, and finance - see where Rally and Allstar differ.
Allstar is a large UK incumbent with separate products for fuel, EV charging, vehicle services, and business payments. That modular setup can work well for UK operators who want a familiar network-led provider. Rally takes a different approach: one open-network, Visa-backed platform that covers fuel, EV charging, tolls, parking, maintenance, and broader approved business spend across the UK, EU, and beyond.
Open-market buying power
Drivers can choose lower-cost stations in the real world instead of depending on discount sites or curated acceptance networks.
Discount-site savings
Allstar promotes savings through discount diesel sites and network pricing, but the economics still depend on accepted sites and card setup.
Visa-backed route freedom
Rally works anywhere Visa is accepted for fuel across the UK, EU, and beyond, giving drivers wider practical coverage.
Large but UK network-based
Allstar covers over 90% of UK fuel sites and a large UK charging network, but the model is still based on accepted locations rather than open-loop spend.
No app friction
Drivers can use WhatsApp, SMS, RFID, or the card itself for core workflows without another app or login.
App-centered EV flow
Allstar Co-Pilot is central for EV routing, availability, and in-app charging across most of the network.
Receipt-to-ledger automation
Rally captures receipts via WhatsApp or web, matches them automatically, extracts VAT, and syncs directly into accounting systems.
Portal-led management
Allstar Online gives visibility and HMRC-compliant invoices, but public materials focus more on portal control than direct receipt-to-ledger automation.
One platform for fleet and business spend
Fuel, charging, tolls, parking, maintenance, office purchases, and broader business spend can live in one system.
Modular product family
Allstar splits fuel, EV, and broader business spend across products such as Allstar One, Chargepass, and Allstar Plus.
Average fuel savings
Fleets switching from network-led fuel cards typically save 5-10% because drivers can buy where prices are lowest.
Fuel acceptance
Rally works anywhere Visa is accepted for fuel, giving fleets broader practical coverage across the UK and Europe.
Accounting integrations
Rally connects directly to the finance stack instead of stopping at invoices and portal reporting.

Why Rally
Built for fleets that want one system instead of a card stack.
Rally gives operators wider European acceptance, less admin, and broader spend coverage without splitting work across multiple products.
Broader route freedom
Drivers can use the cheapest practical station rather than steering toward a curated network of accepted sites.
Lower total fuel spend
Savings come from open-market choice and cleaner economics, not only from discount sites or network-led pricing schemes.
One platform for all spend
Rally covers fleet and broader business spend in one place instead of splitting capabilities across different cards and add-ons.
App-free driver workflows
Core tasks work through channels drivers already use, which reduces rollout friction and day-to-day compliance issues.
Built-in accounting automation
Receipt capture, AI matching, VAT extraction, and direct integrations reduce the manual work portal-only setups often leave behind.
Simpler buying decision
Rally keeps the commercial model easier to understand, with fewer moving parts than a modular card family.

Why Fleets Switch
Five reasons fleets are moving from Allstar to Rally.
What changes when fleets move from a network-led UK card stack to an open-network fleet spend platform.
01
Drivers stopped hunting for accepted sites
Visa-backed acceptance gives drivers wider practical fuel coverage across the UK and Europe without routing around a closed list.
02
Fuel buying became more price-driven
Open-market refuelling lets teams capture lower-cost stations directly instead of relying on selected discount locations.
03
One system replaced multiple products
Rally handles fuel, charging, parking, tolls, maintenance, and broader spend without forcing fleets into separate cards or add-ons.
04
EV charging got lighter for drivers
App-free options such as WhatsApp, SMS, and RFID reduce dependence on another app for charging workflows.
05
Finance spent less time reconciling
Direct integrations and receipt-to-ledger automation cut down the invoice and portal work that often remains in traditional setups.
