You could use Fuelgenie which is free and charges pump prices, will work in Sainsbury’s (and most supermarkets) and can be used for petrol and diesel. Not sure if you can collect nectar points but you get one bill/direct debit covering all your fuel cards so no missing receipts etc (which is why I use it).
We also have UK Fuels cards through NWF which are also free and billed the same way. These only work for diesel, I’m not sure if they work in Sainsbury’s (they do in Morrisons) and they work on a weekly price which should theoretically be less than pump prices. You need to keep an eye on them all though as their prices have a tendency to creep up if you don’t monitor it. It’s handy having 2 (or more) cards from different providers and just use whoever is cheapest that week, it tends to keep them all keen.

I was the same, and with one van didn’t see the point. I’ve ended up with 2 that use Esso stations as that’s one of the locals I pass most days, just use the cheaper of the two!

They will look at your postcode and find best option, there’s various different brands and places you can use them. Fee wise they may offer first year free, others like Ukfuel add a 1p charge on every litre you have. I get a statement monthly, one has its own app where you can track useage and cost etc.

My cards are key fuels & are £1 per card per month & I’m invoiced weekly & payment is taken by direct debit each week. When I get the invoice I just forward it to my bookkeeper.
All the fuel cards take the piss every now & then so just got to keep an eye on them & moan at them on the phone

UKF deffo does work Sainsbury's and you can get nectar points..

Fuel cards really come into their own when you travel further afield and need to use services and other rip off spots.

Always thought they were a con!
But I save 20ppL quite often, at even at the cheapest fuel station it’s always 10pence!
That said my bulk delivery was cheaper than any fuel card price I’ve had in months!

Looks like its going up next week, received email,

FUEL PRICE UPDATE

I just wanted to advise you of the price rise we're anticipating that will take effect on Sunday 7th April 23:59 (Esso - Friday 5th April 23:59).

When your next weekly price becomes applicable the cost of fuel is likely to increase by around 3p per litre - of course we can't predict with any certainty what will happen over the next few days but unfortunately prices on current markets remain high.

Market prices have been on an uptrend due to lower inventories of crude, Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries and fears of further escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, following the missile attack which killed senior Iranian military figures in Syria, on 1 st April.

If it makes sense for your business to take advantage of current prices, then please do so before the dates and times I've mentioned above.

Please don't hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance.

Kind regards
