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 Chevron and Texaco
The Chevron and Texaco fleet card trades headline discount size for immediacy and reach: full savings apply right away rather than after volume tiers, across a network of more than 8,000 stations, supported by the WEX network with an out-of-network card available. Controls can be set by driver or by card with real-time monitoring.
Coast and Chevron and Texaco 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. Chevron and Texaco offer up to 6 cents per gallon with the full rate available immediately rather than tiered on volume, an unusual structure among branded cards that benefits smaller fleets who never hit big-volume thresholds. 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. The Chevron and Texaco card gives smaller fleets its full discount from day one instead of gating it behind volume, which offsets its modest 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.
