DOES MY BUSINESS NEED A FLEET CARD?
If you run your own business, you might not think fleet cards have much to offer, especially
if you already have a credit card for fuel purchases. But small business owners can reap big
benefits with a fleet card. The right card not only gives you better insight into what you’re
spending, but can help reduce fraud, paperwork and fuel costs all at once.

your drivers go out of their way to fill up.
Your business takes you far and wide—and away from the gas stations you know and
trust. Drivers often waste time and gas looking for in-network or low-cost fueling stations.
If they can’t find one, they’re forced to pay out-of-pocket, causing you more paperwork
down the road.

you don’t always know what your drivers are buying.
You trust your drivers, but you have no way to tell if they’re using your card for gas or for coffee,
lunch, or even to fuel up their personal truck. As little as $2-3 of unauthorized purchases a week
can add up to hundreds of dollars lost each year—per driver.
HOW FLEET CARDS CAN HELP:
• Know what you buy. With our network data capture, ourfleet cards track more detail
about what was bought when and where. So you’re never again left in the dark.
• Easy-to-use purchase controls and alerts prevent inappropriate purchases before
they happen. Set cards to only work for fuel purchases, or for fuel and fluids. If a
driver tries to use the card for anything else, the purchase is declined.
you have a lot of driver turnover.
With so many driver changes, it’s easy to lose track of cards. Sometimes drivers leave and
take your card with them, or new hires lose their cards. Plus, there’s always the risk a lessthan-scrupulous driver might rack up fraudulent charges on your dime.

purchases by dollar amount, dollars per transaction, number of transactions in

can’t be used without a valid driver ID and odometer number.

Whether you store snow plows in the summer or lock up lawn mowers for the winter, you

deactivate cards online when you need to shut down. Reactivate when you’re

If you own farm machinery or government vehicles, you may be entitled to federal or state
fuel excise and sales tax exemptions. But isolating which purchases qualify can be a timeconsuming and tedious chore.

into a report for tax credits, grants and exemptions.
