WEX is the largest fleet card provider in North America and the WEX Fleet Card is the default choice for HVAC contractors who want universal station coverage combined with rich fleet management tools. The card is accepted at roughly 95% of all U.S. fuel stations, so drivers can fuel wherever is most convenient without chasing a specific brand. Per-gallon rebates run from 3 to 15 cents inside the WEX EDGE savings network and 1 to 3 cents outside it (with the 3 cent universal rebate typically requiring 5,000+ gallons per month).
Where WEX pulls away from fuel-brand cards is the depth of fleet controls. Every card can be locked to a specific driver with a PIN, prompted for odometer entry at the pump (useful for GPS cross-checking to flag fraud), and restricted to approved days, times, and product types. The WEX web portal and mobile app issue new cards in minutes, lock compromised cards instantly, pull fuel spend reports by driver or vehicle, and export to QuickBooks or other accounting systems. Real-time alerts fire on out-of-policy transactions, and the Zero Fraud Liability Benefit protects the business from unauthorized use.
WEX Inc. is a publicly traded (NYSE: WEX) company headquartered in Portland, Maine with roots going back to 1983. For HVAC contractors with 5 to 500+ vehicles, the WEX Fleet Card is typically the safest universal pick - even if fuel-brand cards like Shell Fleet Plus or Fuelman Diesel offer higher rebates in their home networks. WEX also issues the Shell Fleet Plus Card and operates other branded programs, so the underlying platform is the same even when a shop layers a Shell-only card on top.
