Welcome to Trident Ottershaw

Trident Ottershaw is a Shell filling station with a Nisa Express shop, conveniently located on the A320 Guildford Road, about 100 metres from the Ottershaw village roundabout.

You'll find us on the right-hand side when heading towards Woking, next to the main Honda car showroom.

Although we're independently owned and operated, we can be easily recognised by our Nisa Express signage. Please note, there is another Shell-owned filling station directly opposite us, which can cause some confusion.

A word about fuel pricing

1. As an independently owned and operated Shell filling station, we buy our fuel directly from Shell UK at a daily cost price derived from Platts¹.
2. Owing to our very high volumes, we have a tanker delivery almost daily.
3. While we have flexibility to set our own retail prices, this is limited by the tiny retailer margin on fuel - typically only pence per litre.
4. This means that when the market cost of fuel increases - it very quickly reaches our pump price.
5. Under UK competition law, we are unable to discuss or coordinate pricing with other stations, so our prices may differ from the Shell filling station opposite.

But, how can prices differ so much between sites?

1. Oil companies refine their own fuel and are not necessarily limited to the daily Platts price.
2. Supermarkets and independents often buy their fuel on a two-weekly basis from the market, which means that their cost prices tend to lag a couple of weeks behind the market.
