Compare the real monthly and annual savings of the Coast and ExxonMobil fuel cards on your fleet's gallons, after fees.

About Coast
Coast is a modern fleet and fuel card built on the Visa network, so it works at any station that takes Visa with no network to plan routes around. It requires no personal guarantee, charges no per-transaction fees in the US, and its app lets owners set spending policies by driver, vehicle, day or merchant category with real-time alerts, plus 1 percent back on non-fuel business purchases.
About ExxonMobil
ExxonMobil's Business Fleet card competes directly with BP's, offering savings when fueling at Exxon and Mobil branded locations, driver PIN and odometer prompts, real-time spending alerts and a Fleet National card on the WEX network accepted at over 95 percent of retailers. The Mastercard version also covers non-fuel purchases like parts and service.
Coast and ExxonMobil pricing
Coast costs $4 per active user per month with no inactive card fees. Fuel savings of 3 to 9 cents per gallon are applied on your statement at any gas retailer, alongside 1 percent back on non-fuel spend, so the discount travels with you rather than depending on an in-network station. ExxonMobil offers 6 cents per gallon when buying 10,000 or more gallons monthly at branded locations, with the broad-acceptance Fleet National option trading rebate size for coverage, a standard pattern among the oil-major cards. The calculator applies each card's discount to your monthly gallons, subtracts card fees, and compares net savings and effective price per gallon at the current diesel price.
How they compare
Coast's pitch is simplicity: one flat discount that works at every Visa-accepting station, modern software controls and no personal guarantee, rather than a station network you have to fuel inside to earn the headline rate. ExxonMobil mirrors the BP model at Exxon and Mobil stations, so between the two oil majors the deciding factor is simply which brand's stations sit on your routes. The honest comparison is a blended one: estimate what share of your gallons would actually earn each card's in-network rate on your real routes, set the discounts accordingly, and let the annual difference decide.
