Control fleet spending for manufacturing businesses without slowing production
From plant vehicles to field fleets, Coast gives manufacturing businesses simple tools to manage spending and stay on budget as operations scale.
Fuel anywhere your route takes you
Coast is accepted anywhere Visa works, so drivers don’t need to search for specific stations or take detours. Vehicles can refuel quickly and stay on their planned routes.
Spend controls that enforce company policy
Set spending limits for each employee and/or vehicle . Limit transaction amounts, restrict cards to fuel and other approved categories, and set usage hours. Coast automatically blocks purchases that fall outside those rules.
Real-time visibility into fleet spend
See exactly who spent what, when, and where across vehicles and sites. Coast gives manufacturing teams immediate insight into fuel and fleet expenses so issues are caught early, not at month-end.
Unified expense management
One card for all business expenses
Coast handles more than fuel. Manufacturing businesses use it to pay for vehicle maintenance, equipment rentals, and job site supplies, all tracked and managed from a single dashboard.
Real-time insights
Monitor fleet costs as they happen
Rewards
Save on fuel and fleet expenses
Coast offers manufacturing fleets rebates of up to 3¢–9¢ per gallon at over 30,000 partner stations nationwide, plus up to 1% cash back on non-fuel expenses like maintenance, tires, and oil changes.*
Turn fleet spend into operational insight
See detailed fleet spending as it happens and use powerful integrations to keep fleet costs aligned with operational and production needs.
Clear insight into where fleet dollars go
Stop reviewing lengthy statements at the end of the month. Coast tracks every purchase as it happens and flags unusual spending in real time, so you can catch issues before they become problems.
Seamless integrations with your existing tools
Coast connects with your telematics platform for tighter controls and better visibility. Block transactions when the vehicle is not at the station, or get alerted when there’s a mismatch between what was purchased and what went into the tank.
One card for fleet and manufacturing expenses
Manufacturing teams pay for fuel, vehicle maintenance, equipment rentals, plant supplies, and back-office services throughout the day. When those purchases are spread across multiple cards, it becomes harder to track costs by vehicle, department, or location—and reconciliation takes longer.
With Coast, manufacturing businesses manage approved fleet and business expenses on a single Visa card, with spend controls designed to match how manufacturing operations run.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where can manufacturing teams use Coast cards?
Coast cardholders can use their card in the United States for fuel and approved business expenses anywhere Visa® is accepted. This allows drivers and plant vehicles to refuel at any gas station or truck stop without detours or delays.
Manufacturing teams control where, when, and how cards are used by setting clear spending rules for each driver, vehicle, or department.
What types of expenses can manufacturing businesses put on Coast?
Manufacturing businesses use Coast for more than fuel. Coast also supports approved categories like vehicle maintenance, equipment rentals, plant supplies, and other business expenses.
All spending is tracked in one place, giving finance and operations teams a complete view of fleet-related costs without managing multiple card programs.
How does Coast help manufacturing teams control fleet spending?
Coast lets manufacturing teams define clear spending rules before purchases happen. Managers can set limits by driver, vehicle, or department, and can restrict purchases to a specific dollar amount, time of day, day of week, merchant, or purchase categories.
With transactions monitored in real time, fleet managers can quickly spot unusual activity and keep fleet spending aligned with operational budgets.
How does Coast help prevent fuel misuse or theft?
Coast integrates with telematics platforms like Samsara and Geotab to verify that a company vehicle is physically at the fuel pump before approving a transaction.
If the vehicle’s GPS location doesn’t match the station, Coast automatically blocks the transaction, helping manufacturing businesses reduce unauthorized fuel spending and card misuse.
How does Coast support multi-site manufacturing operations?
Manufacturing businesses often manage fleets across multiple plants, warehouses, or service locations. Coast makes it easy to issue and manage cards by site or department while keeping all spending visible in one place.
This centralized view helps finance and operations teams compare costs across locations, enforce consistent spending rules, and reduce manual reconciliation.
