Coast - Smart Visa Fleet Cards

05/28/2026

Coast is going native inside Samsara!

Hundreds of fleets already run on Coast and together. Until now, they did it through two browser tabs.

Now, everything that used to live in the Coast portal now also lives directly inside Samsara:

✓ Set fuel policies and spend limits directly in the Samsara interface

✓ Review every fuel purchase with full context (driver, vehicle, location, MPG, approval status)

✓ Block fraudulent transactions in real time using GPS and tank-level data

✓ Skip the CSV exports and manual reconciliation

Two of the highest-rated tools in fleet, finally working as one product.

We’re thrilled to be the only fuel card managed directly in Samsara. Learn more:

Here’s a Monday meme for anyone still using the same fleet system from the 90’s 👀

$30,000 per year. 19 hours per month.

That's what our customers just told us they're saving with Coast.

Two years ago, we ran our first customer survey. The results were good, but we knew we could do better. So we spent the last two years listening, building, and refining based on what customers told us they needed.

We expanded our partner network to 30,000+ stations and gave you the ability to block expensive ones before your team even swipes. We deepened our integrations with telematics solutions, to give you even more insights and oversight. We made Coast easier to use, so card management no longer has to be on your to-do list.

If you're in construction, trades, or transportation, and you're still managing fuel cards and expenses the old way, this article will show you what's possible. Check it out

The Coast Visa® Commercial Credit card is issued by Celtic Bank. Subject to credit approval.

Two years ago, we surveyed our customers to understand the value Coast brings to construction, trades, and transportation businesses. The results were encouraging, but we knew we could do better. So we kept listening to our customers, and built the features they needed to make their fuel management....

Some wisdom for your Friday 😉

Everyone in the trades knows the day starts early.

But when we looked at Coast fueling data across thousands of businesses, we saw just HOW early. Fueling spikes between 5–7 a.m., then steadies through the day.

This data may be expected, but it captures the reality of trades workers: long days, early starts, and teams who don't waste a minute. Every pre-dawn card swipe adds up to getting more done by noon.

That’s what Coast is built for: making those early starts just a little smoother.

When does your team’s day start?

57% of fleet executives in our recent Coast survey said they lose at least 20% of receipts every month.

And that’s just the start:
🔹 90% still juggle corporate cards + spreadsheets with no dedicated management tool
🔹 53% still rely on expense reports to manage expenses

Last month we published Coast’s first-ever Fleet Expense Management Report with insights from 95 fleet leaders across construction, trades, and transportation.
