Operational leasing means that the car is transferred into your use for a determined time period, within which you will have to pay the amortization (depreciation) value of the car.
When the Agreement expires, you will have a possibility to choose whether to return the car to the back-buyer (as agreed on upon conclusion of the agreement) or to buy out the car or transfer the redemption right to another person.

Financial leasing means that within the lease period you gradually cover the value of the car by monthly payments and become the owner of the car at the end of the lease period.

No, it’s not possible. If the card limit is LVL 100 and if LVL 95 have been spent, only more LVL 5 can be spent. If the amount of purchase is above LVL 5, you will need to use other means of payment to pay for the purchase.

I such an event you need to use other means of payment. The purchase amount cannot be split (it is not possible to pay LVL 10 with Statoil Fuel Card and LVL 5 – in cash).
To avoid such situations, we recommend to keep a check on the limit available on the card. Call the Statoil infoline on 8009005 to check the card limit status.
How do I pay for amounts spent at Statoil filling stations?
The client is billed for the amounts spent at Statoil filling stations during previous month in the monthly lease invoice. For example, if the client’s lease payment is due on the 30th date, it means that on the 30th date the client will receive an invoice that includes the amounts spent during the previous month.
If you have the Direct Debit service active, the invoice for using Statoil Fuel Card will be paid automatically together with the lease payment in the currency of the agreement.
Why am I not given a discount when I make a purchase?
The discount is not indicated in the purchase receipt. The discount on purchases is calculated when the lease invoice is written out.
