The fleet may be small, but the fuel still needs to be controlled and accounted for.<\/p>\n<h2>Start with the vehicles and routes<\/h2>\n<p>List each vehicle, its registration, fuel type and normal route. School transport tends to follow fixed routes, which makes it easier to estimate monthly fuel use. Include any vehicles used for trips, maintenance or supplies, even if they are not used every day.<\/p>\n<h2>Decide who can authorise fuel<\/h2>\n<p>Name the person responsible for approving fuel and any changes to the vehicle list. Drivers should know which vehicles are covered and what reference or receipt is required. A simple written process avoids confusion when staff change.<\/p>\n<h2>Keep records that support accountability<\/h2>\n<p>Record the date, vehicle, litres, amount and driver for each purchase. If the vehicle has an odometer, include the reading. These records help the institution answer questions from finance, management or auditors and make it easier to spot unusual use.<\/p>\n<p>Our <a href=\"https:\/\/matafenergy.com\/blog\/fuel-records-fleet-managers\/\">fuel records checklist<\/a> can be adapted for a school fleet.<\/p>\n<h2>Plan around term time<\/h2>\n<p>Fuel use may be higher during term time and lower during holidays. A monthly review helps the institution plan cash flow and avoid last-minute fuel purchases. If the school runs trips or events, include those in the estimate rather than treating them as a surprise.<\/p>\n<h2>Choose convenient local access<\/h2>\n<p>A fuel station on the route is practical for school transport. It reduces detours and makes it easier for drivers to fuel before or after a route. For institutions in Juja, Ruiru and along Thika Road, a local partner can also make it easier to resolve receipt or account questions.<\/p>\n<p>To discuss fuel for a school or institutional fleet, <a
