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 Fleet One
The Fleet One EDGE card, offered under the EFS brand and part of the WEX network, balances per-gallon savings with a large truck-stop network reaching thousands of in-network sites, plus extra discounts on essentials such as wireless plans and vehicle maintenance. It is designed for companies running up to about 50 vehicles.
Coast and Fleet One 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. Fleet One savings run around 15 cents per gallon at in-network sites with no fuel transaction costs at most of them; third-party reviews cite monthly card fees in the $2 to $4 range depending on the account, and real-world discounts vary with where you fuel. 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. Fleet One sits in the sweet spot between discount size and network size, though as part of the same WEX rails the fine print on fees deserves a close read before signing. 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.
