- Does Maritime have Price Protection Fuel Programs?
Yes, we have the most Comprehensive Price Protection Plans in the area. We offer our Preferred & Budget Plans which gives you price protection if the market should rise (cap price-most you'll ever pay) and downside protection. If the market falls your price goes down too. So, you have protection both on the upside and downside. Our Pre-Buy Plan allows you to lock in at a fixed price. So, not matter what happens with the market you'll know what you'll be paying. Please see all the benefits listed under fuel plans.
