Effectively controlling gas or diesel expenses begins at the fuel pump. For fleet-dependent companies, the ability to manage fuel purchases directly has a significant impact on operational costs, productivity, and long-term profitability. With a dedicated fleet card, businesses gain powerful tools to streamline vehicle-related expenses, reinforce accountability among drivers and reduce fraud while unlocking valuable fuel savings.
A well-implemented fleet card program gives businesses clear visibility into how money is spent on fuel, maintenance and service station purchases across thousands of gas stations nationwide.
Empowering Fleet Management with Data and Control
Fuel cards such as the Sunoco Business Fleet Card and the Sunoco Fleet Universal Card offer robust features designed specifically for business vehicle management. These cards allow fleet managers to track fuel purchases by driver, vehicle, location and time of day. Unlike traditional credit cards, fleet cards incorporate security controls such as driver PINs, odometer tracking and spending limits, all of which are essential for managing daily operations and preventing unauthorized purchases.

Savings on Every Gallon of Fuel
Fuel rebates are one of the most direct benefits of using fleet cards. New Sunoco fleet card accounts receive a promotional rebate of 15¢ per gallon for six months. After that, ongoing rebates of up to 6¢ per gallon at Sunoco-branded stations continue to deliver returns. With the Business Fleet Card, users enjoy no setup fees, annual charges or card fees and can maximize their fuel budget while fueling at over 5,000 Sunoco locations. The Fleet Universal Card expands fueling locations with acceptance at 95% of U.S. gas stations.
These savings stack up fast for companies with multiple vehicles on the road. By linking fuel card purchases directly to a centralized account, fleet cards reduce reliance on reimbursements and eliminate the need for cash, further simplifying budget management.
Custom Reporting and Real-time Data
Sunoco fleet cards come equipped with advanced reporting capabilities. Real-time monitoring tools allow fleet managers to review purchases as they happen. Customizable reports provide transaction breakdowns by driver or card, offering insights that help detect fuel fraud, unusual spending or inefficiencies in route planning.
Reporting Features Include:
- Purchase activity reports
- Financial summaries
- Site-specific fueling data
- Tax exemption details for qualified businesses
Having access to this level of data enhances budgeting and improves accountability across the team. These insights can influence decisions around fuel usage, vehicle maintenance scheduling and driver performance.
Enhanced Security and Fraud Prevention for Fuel Purchases
Driver-level controls are critical to secure your company’s fuel spending. With Sunoco fleet cards, transactions can be limited by fuel type (diesel or gasoline), dollar amount, location or even the time of day. Any purchase attempt outside of preset limits is automatically declined.
Customizable reports provide transaction breakdowns by driver or card, offering insights that help detect fuel fraud, unusual spending or inefficiencies in route planning.
By ensuring only authorized drivers can make fuel purchases at authorized times and places, companies reduce the risk of misuse and unauthorized fuel spending. These protections also safeguard against card theft or employee fraud, offering peace of mind to fleet operators.
Beyond purchase controls, Sunoco Fleet Cards are equipped with PINs that must be entered at the pump before a purchase can be authorized. Odometer readings are also required, making Sunoco fleet cards a much safer option for purchasing fuel than credit cards.
Simplified Fleet Account Management
Fleet card management doesn’t require a team of administrators. With Sunoco’s online portal and mobile app, fleet operators can manage cards and accounts anywhere. Capabilities include:
- Adding or canceling driver cards
- Viewing card activity
- Scheduling and making payments
- Accessing available credit
- Downloading transaction and expense reports
The mobile-friendly experience ensures businesses can stay in control of fuel expenses and card activity even while on the road.
Broad Network Acceptance with Complete Flexibility
One of the major benefits of the Sunoco Fleet Universal Card is its acceptance at 95% of U.S. gas stations and thousands of service locations. This flexibility is invaluable for fleets with variable routes or long-haul drivers needing access to fuel anywhere.
Whether you’re filling up with diesel at a truck stop in Texas or buying gasoline at a corner station in New Jersey, the universal card ensures your drivers are always covered. This reduces downtime, simplifies route planning and ensures consistent access to fuel without sacrificing control.
Scalable Solutions for Fleets of all Sizes
Sunoco offers two tailored solutions: the Business Fleet Card for companies fueling primarily at Sunoco stations and the Fleet Universal Card for businesses requiring broader acceptance. Both cards feature:
- Robust expense tracking
- Purchase controls
- Real-time transaction monitoring

This makes them ideal for small businesses with a handful of vehicles or large commercial fleets operating nationwide.
