Frequently Asked Questions
What is a fleet fuel card and what are the benefits?
A fleet fuel card is a type of payment card that helps businesses manage and control fuel expenses for their vehicles. Fuel cards have two main benefits. They allow businesses to monitor fuel usage, including details like the number of gallons purchased, fuel type, and miles-per-gallon (MPG) data. Fleet managers gain valuable insights into their vehicles’ performance and fuel efficiency.
Fuel cards also have the ability to set spending limits and restrict purchases to specific fuel types or locations, reducing the risk of fraud and misuse. This makes it easier to maintain budget control and track fuel expenses accurately.
With Coast’s fuel card, you gain all these benefits and more. The Coast Card can be used anywhere Visa is accepted, requires no personal guarantee, and offers seamless integrations with your existing systems. Plus, you get precise controls over spending and comprehensive fuel reporting to optimize your fleet’s performance.
How do fleet gas cards work?
Coast fleet gas cards help businesses control fuel spending while providing convenience for drivers. They ensure that fuel purchases align with company policies, making fuel management simpler and more secure. Here’s how the process works:
1. **Set Card Rules**: Fleet managers define rules by card, driver or vehicle, specifying spending limits, fuel types, and how frequently fuel can be purchased.
2. **Drivers Use the Cards**: When drivers need to fill up, they unlock cards using a simple and secure mobile system. The card’s controls are then applied, allowing the driver to purchase fuel according to the set rules.
3. **Fleet Managers Monitor Data**: Fleet managers can review transactions in real-time using an online portal. They can monitor fuel usage and detect any signs of fraud or misuse, ensuring transparency and control.Can a fleet card help prevent fuel theft?
Yes, a fleet card can be a powerful tool for preventing fuel theft. Fleet cards allow businesses to set spending limits, restrict purchases to specific fuel types or locations, and require driver identification before each transaction. These controls ensure that fuel purchases are authorized and align with company policies, reducing the risk of unauthorized spending.
Coast provides an additional layer of protection against fraud through unique features. Integrations with telematics solutions like Azuga, Geotab, or Verizon Connect allow fleet managers to automatically decline transactions when there is a mismatch between the vehicle location and the pump. We’re so confident in our ability to prevent fraud that we offer a fuel fraud guarantee of up to $25,000 per year when our customers use our security features.

What reporting do fleet cards offer?
Fleet cards typically provide detailed transaction reports, offering insights into fuel purchases such as the number of gallons purchased, fuel grade, price per gallon, and miles-per-gallon (MPG). These reports help fleet managers track fuel expenses, monitor driver behavior, and maintain vehicle performance.
Coast takes reporting to the next level with real-time data, allowing you to monitor transactions as they happen instead of waiting until the end of the month. This helps you respond quickly to any issues or anomalies.

Coast also provides unique insights, helping you identify the most expensive gas stations and highlighting vehicles with the lowest fuel efficiency, helping you make informed decisions to optimize your fleet’s performance and costs.
How much does a fleet card cost?
