Fleet Cards
Benefits of using a fleet card
A fleet card makes refueling easy for drivers. It also makes several things easier for your agency’s fiscal staff, such as:
- Consolidating onsite and retail fuel transactions into one comprehensive report to make tracking fuel expenses much easier.
- Reducing the amount of time, effort, and administrative costs involved in tracking fuel expenditures for your agency.
- Providing another layer of purchase controls to reduce misuse and abuse risks for your agency.
Get a fleet card
- Sign a statewide master contract usage agreement and send the required forms to michael.lix@des.wa.gov.
- Complete the fuel card services agreement (credit application).
- Complete the WEXOnline Terms & Conditions Click-Through Agreement.
- Our relationship manager will let you know if you also need to complete any of these forms:
Earn rebates with your agency’s fleet card
Fleet card users earn rebates based on how much money they spend with their cards. WEX calls these rebates “incentive shares.”
WEX uses a formula to calculate the rebate amount. Part of the formula uses “basis points,” which fluctuate slightly based on an incentive structure. 1 basis point typically equals about .01% of the amount spent. Rebate amounts are based on an agency’s total fuel purchases, minus write-offs and fraudulent charges.
Fees
Fleet card users are subject to the following fees:
- Foreign transaction fee: 1.5% of the total transaction value
- Overnight delivery fee: $15 per order
