Emergency Fuel Delivery Miami — 1-Hour Dispatch 24/7

A generator that runs dry during a hurricane, a fleet that woke up to an empty tank before a critical delivery run, a job site generator down for a permit inspection — emergency fuel delivery exists for these moments. In Miami, 1-hour and 2-hour dispatch is available for contracted commercial accounts around the clock, 365 days a year. Here is how it works, who qualifies, and what to do right now to make sure you are covered.

What qualifies as an emergency fuel delivery?

In the commercial fuel industry, "emergency delivery" means a non-scheduled dispatch outside the normal delivery cadence — typically with a faster response time and higher urgency. At Exigo Fuels, emergency deliveries are available to contracted accounts for:

• Generator fuel-outs: A facility's backup generator has run dry and needs immediate refuel to maintain power — hospitals, data centers, assisted living facilities, telecom infrastructure.
• Fleet ready failures: A fleet's on-site tank is empty at shift start, preventing vehicles from dispatching. Common after unexpected consumption spikes or supplier delivery delays.
• Construction site critical operations: A crane, excavator, or generator must continue operating and the equipment tank is down to reserve.
• Hurricane pre-positioning: A storm is approaching and you need to top off your on-site tank before retail stations run dry and before the storm makes landfall.
• Marine vessel urgent needs: A vessel needs fuel before departure with a short window before weather closes in or a contract departure time.

Emergency delivery response times in Miami

The emergency response tiers are exclusive to contracted accounts:

• Contracted accounts (active service agreement): 1-hour response within Miami-Dade, 2-hour response for Broward and northern Palm Beach County, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including holidays.
• Non-contracted (new customers or one-time callers): Not eligible for emergency dispatch. Orders are standard deliveries, completed within 1-2 business days. Contracted accounts are prioritized in high-demand periods (storms, holidays).

During named storm events, emergency delivery response times extend due to road conditions and elevated demand across all accounts. Contracted accounts still receive priority dispatch; non-contracted orders remain standard deliveries. The solution is to set up a commercial account before you need it — the setup process takes 3–5 business days.

What does emergency fuel delivery cost in Miami?

Emergency dispatch for contracted accounts is priced in the contract: the delivered price and the dispatch terms are written into the agreement up front, so there are no surprises on the invoice. Standard deliveries carry no after-hours, weekend, or night surcharge.

Compare this to the cost of the alternative. A generator running dry at a hospital for 4 hours during a power outage can trigger $50,000+ in regulatory fines, patient safety incidents, and equipment damage. For a construction site, a half-day equipment downtime typically costs $10,000–$30,000 in lost productivity and contract penalties. The cost of a contract is trivial by comparison.

How to request emergency fuel delivery in Miami

Exigo Fuels' 24/7 dispatch line is (305) 900-6725. When you call for an emergency delivery, have the following ready:

• Account number (if you are a contracted customer)
• Delivery address and site access instructions (gate codes, dock location, contact person on site)
• Fuel type needed (on-road diesel, off-road diesel, 87-octane gasoline, REC-90 ethanol-free)
• Volume needed (even a rough estimate — "top off a 500-gallon tank" is fine)
• Urgency level and reason (helps dispatch prioritize correctly)

Emergency fuel delivery during Florida hurricane season

Miami's hurricane season runs June through November. The most important thing you can do for emergency fuel preparedness is to not wait until the storm approaches. Here is a practical timeline:

• Off-season (now): Establish a commercial fuel account if you do not have one. Confirm your on-site tank capacity and current inspection status.
• 72 hours before landfall: Top off all on-site tanks to 95%. Retail stations will run dry 24–36 hours before a hurricane hits. If you have a contracted account, we can guarantee a delivery window even in high-demand pre-storm periods.
• Post-storm: Generator fuel-out calls spike in the 24–72 hours after a major storm. Contracted accounts receive priority dispatch. Non-contracted calls may face multi-hour wait times.

The time to set up an emergency fuel account is today, not the day before the storm. Call (305) 900-6725 or request a quote online to get started — setup takes 3–5 business days and there is no minimum commitment to maintain an account. We serve all of Miami and Miami-Dade County, including Brickell, Hialeah, Homestead, and PortMiami.
