Love that it asks for receipts. Offers a lot of security and safety options. It is easy to train the drivers with the app. > > **Cons**: It does not have Spanish promptings for drivers when the app texts the reason for the decline. Most of the time it is driver error, but would like it in Spanish so they can better understand what they are doing incorrectly. > > We have tried other fuel programs, but have been most content with Coast. What is great about it, is that you can go to any fuel station. ----- ### "I think Coast makes it easier to track our expenses" — 5.0/5 > **Honora** | *22 July 2026* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It is really easy to make reports, export them into excel, and manipulate the data. Also, when you call the phone number someone actually does answer the phone. > > **Cons**: I can't think of anything in particular. It is way better for us than WEX which charged us so much money if we were 1 day late on our payment. > > So far it has worked really well. We pay every two weeks which is for us better than paying once a month. ----- Page: 1 / 9\ 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
