Easy to monitor spending!

I can't complain. Coast was easy to transition into and setup. It's easy to navigate through the account and the app and maintain and monitor spending.

Pros:

Coast was very easy to transition into using. It integrates into systems that we currently have in place, such as our GPS's in our company vehicles, making it more efficient to monitor fuel usage and spending.

Cons:

There were minor issues once we got setup, but quickly learned that is was not Coast's issue, it was stemming from the merchant directly.

Reasons for switching to Coast

Coast had better things to offer. We receive rewards and credits on certain fuel purchases.

Pros:

All of the companies gas fees and charges are in one place, and we can track mileage. Payments are easy, the website is user friendly for setting up or removing employees access. Getting additional cards, as we expand, has never been an issue.

Cons:

If the employee pays inside the store for gas I usually get an email stating they used the wrong fuel type. I would also like to see the actual location the gas was purchased, not the HQ location.

Reasons for choosing Coast

More reporting, better credit limit with the ability to increase it over time.

Reasons for switching to Coast

They gave us such a low rate to start with that we wouldn't have been able to use the cards again after the first few days.

Exceptional Fuel Card Program!

Our company has had a very positive experience with Coast, and it was a seamless transition from our previous fuel card vendor. All of our active drivers are currently utilizing the program. We see a tremendous amount of value in the product!

Functionality

Pros:

The Coast fuel card program is very user friendly and our staff like it. It provides flexibility for our users as we have employees that do not drive the same vehicle each day. In addition, Coast has much better reporting than our previous fuel card vendor. This provides management with better data on overall fuel usage and costs by driver. In addition, Coast has some unique controls that can be put in place to help mitigate fuel theft. Overall, we have been very happy with Coast.

Cons:

Quite honestly there is really nothing that stands out that has caused our company a pain point. The software is very user friendly and it is very easy to implement.

Reasons for switching to Coast

We moved our fleet card program over from Speedway. Speedway did not offer the same level of reporting that Coast does. We also liked the flexibility provided by the Coast cards as they could be distributed to drivers. The text based platform that is provided by Coast was also a big factor as well.

Upgrade from traditional fuel cards

We were looking for a solution we could implement quickly since our Universal Premium cards stopped working and Universal Premium could not figure out how to fix them. They got us our cards within a few days and we haven't had any issues. Everyone who has used it has said it's an improvement over the traditional fuel cards we had been using. It's convenient any card can be used on any vehicle.

Functionality

Pros:

Controls are easy to set up, flexible spending categories, convenient integrations, and best in class customer service and UX.

Cons:

The notification settings are not configurable by role so you either get all or none of the notifications, even things irrelevant to managing the daily card usage. For example, our supervisors get bill paid notifications when our accounting team pays the monthly invoice.

Reasons for choosing Coast

We could implement faster with Coast at the time

Very Pleased With Our Coast Experience.

Overall Pleased with Coast from a Fleet Director standpoint. Love the interrogation with Samsara to alert if a vehicle is far away from the fueling location. The ability to use the card at any gas station is a great safety net.
