Compare the real monthly and annual savings of the Coast and BP 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 BP
BP's Business Solutions cards offer volume-based rebates at BP stations, with the maximum earned at a comparatively low 10,000 gallons per month, plus card controls by day, week or month, fraud protection via ID and odometer prompts, and tracking of MPG and cost per mile. A Mastercard version fuels almost anywhere at reduced rebates.
Coast and BP 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. BP rebates reach up to 15 cents per gallon for customers buying 10,000-plus gallons monthly at BP stations, one of the more attainable volume thresholds among branded cards, with significantly lower rebates on the go-anywhere Mastercard route. 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. BP rewards station loyalty through volume rebates with a lower qualifying threshold than many rivals, so mid-size fleets can actually reach its headline rate. 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.
