A fuel card allows businesses to:

• Enable their drivers to make purchases without having to use cash, checks, or a personal credit card
• Control purchasing by driver and limit transactions by frequency, amount, or day
• See purchase details for transactions with line-item details, like the grade of fuel and number of gallons
• Monitor, manage, and control costs associated with the vehicles in the fleet

The benefits of fleet and fuel cards have expanded over the years. With a 21st century fleet card, you can:

• Pay for fuel
• Monitor charges wherever your drivers are
• Approve expenses in real time
• Control spending for individual vehicles or the entire fleet
• Avoid having to use cash, checks, or personal credit cards
• Add a layer of security to your spending

While some fuel cards can only be used at certain gas stations, the Coast card can be used anywhere Visa is accepted. For business owners and fleet managers, that means more efficient operations.

Fleet management is the process you use to coordinate, administer, and direct the vehicles, operators, and support staff that make the day-to-day operation of your business possible.

But fleet management is more than telematics —it also includes fleet expense management. In fact, tracking and controlling spending is one of the most important parts of the fleet management equation.

When you use a fuel card program to monitor expenses, you can learn what steps to take to better manage your fleet, cut costs, and improve productivity.

A fuel management program is a system of dos, don’ts, and processes that help your business reduce the cost and consumption of vehicle fuel — whether it’s gasoline, diesel, electric, or something else entirely.

A strong fuel management program, like Coast, equips managers to control the way their fleet buys fuel, reduce misuse in the process, and provide robust reporting to connect every transaction to vehicle, driver, and MPG.

Coast offers a sophisticated expense management platform and the Coast Visa fleet and fuel card, providing richer controls and reporting than many other fleet card programs.

In addition, Coast is accepted anywhere that accepts Visa, so your drivers don’t have to go out of their way to purchase fuel.
