It made us feel like a valued customer. > > **Cons**: Wish the cards were a little more firm, I am thinking that harder plastic might have helped up better, but now seeing the virtual ones available, all good. > > We love the convenience, the ease of use, how we can track our spending. Having to spend less time finding and coordinating let's us do our job better. ----- ### "Get Coast-Your Drivers will thank you\!" — 5.0/5 > **Evelyn** | *19 May 2026* | Oil & Energy | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease for Drivers to use. Billing and Accounting takes 1/2 the time. Spend limits and Wrong fuel notifications are wonderful and a great additional from our previous fleet card. Coast has great integrations as well like Geotab. > > **Cons**: unable to tap card, Driver at some stations must go into store to purchase and unable to use at the pump. I believe this is a station policy. > > Our Drivers love it. Previously, they had a Visa card and a fleet card for fuel purchases. Having just one card and picture receipt submittal is a game changer. No more chasing down expenses\! We have referred and moved all our companies to Coast. ----- ### "Product that works" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *21 May 2026* | Automotive | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Best value for the company, money, ability to track expenses, the ability to track vehicles and best for accounting purposes security in knowing that money is being spent properly and accordingly > > **Cons**: Nothing really the problem that I have with it is on my companies in every vehicle. We have to enter the tag number and mileage. Most of our vehicles have not been inputted as of yet. > > My overall experience with this product is that it allows us to track movement. It allows us to account for each and every vehicle in our fleet and it allows us to be accountable for what is happening. ----- ### "Outstanding fuel card program that's easy to use and highly customizable" — 5.0/5 > **Jeff** | *13 February 2026* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Simplicity and functionality wrapped up into a great app and program for handling my organization's fuel purchases in the field. Also love how it is compatible with Samsara for asset tracking and accountability of driver purchase behaviors and mileage tracking. Security settings are easy to customize and can be changed at any time. > > **Cons**: Utilization of the app has been a little tricky for some technicians - sometimes there is confusion on checking into the app before trying to pump, which inadvertently locks technicians out of the system. > > Overall, I am very pleased with the accessibility and support from our designated Coast reps, the program is largely easy to use, and we are already seeing savings due to the larger network of fuel vendors and the better rebates per purchase. Plus as we roll out our fleet management program with Merchants and utilize Samsara for our GPS and video monitoring, we have an active ecosystem of driver safety and accountability. ----- ### "We're getting the most out of Coast\!" — 5.0/5 > **Karen** | *20 May 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Coast allows our employees to purchase fuel at a huge variety of stations around the country. It gives us the ability to track each driver's usage and to limit spending to fuel purchases only. Our employees can seek out the best prices for fuel rather than relying on one or two "big name" gas stations that we may - or may not - have fleet cards for. Using Coast cards consolidates our monthly fuel expenses into one payment which streamlines our accounting. > > **Cons**: Switching our company to Coast has been a game changer - we regret not doing this sooner. There are no cons\! > > Coast has been wonderful to work with. Their customer support team is top notch, and we like that we can control various settings on the cards. I highly recommend Coast if you want to save time and money\! ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/394769/coast?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/394769/coast) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
