The Fuelman Diesel Advantage Fleet Card is a closed-loop card that lets your fleet make fuel and maintenance purchases within the Fuelman Network. It also lets you set purchase controls and download detailed transaction reports. Unfortunately, the card is weighed down by a high program administration fee of up to 10 cents per gallon or $2 per transaction, as well as a monthly card fee of up to $10 per card.
This card is designed for fleets that spend heavily on diesel, as you can save big per gallon in volume rebates — up to 15 cents per gallon. Note, however, that you’ll know your fuel minimums only after you’re approved for the card.
The Fuelman Network consists of many brands. Here are a few:
| Fee | Amount |
|---|---|
| Minimum program administration fee | Up to 10 cents per gallon or $2 per transaction |
| Card fee | Up to $10 per card per month |
| Special network pricing | Up to 10 cents per gallon or $3 per transaction, whichever is greater |
| High-risk (“Level 2”) pricing | Up to 30 cents per gallon purchased |
| Exception handling fee | $50 |
| Pay-by-phone fee |
|
| Credit card convenience fee | Up to 3% of the payment amount. |
| Bank debit fees |
|
| ACH/wire/check fee | Up to $50 per payment |
| Late fee | 12.25% or $75, whichever is greater |
| Returned payment fee | $50 or the maximum allowed by law, whichever is greater |
| Report delivery fee | Up to $10 per report |
| Optional report delivery fee | Up to $15 per report or up to $100 per quarter |
| Tax-exempt processing and reporting fee | 1% of the total purchase amount |
You could pay an extra 30-cent-per-gallon fee if your account is high-risk. Fleetcor determines you high-risk if:
You may qualify for this card with at least a fair credit score of 580 or higher. Fleetcor considers other factors and ultimately decides on your approval and APR.
This card offers an impressive max rebate of 15 cents per gallon on diesel. However, Fleetcor charges administrative and card fees, which can severely cut into your savings.
If you’re not sure a fleet card is right for you, consider a small-business gas card.
