Fuel prices swing wildly, drivers need flexibility, and business owners demand clear visibility into every gallon. If you're managing a fleet—whether a few service vans or a growing operation across the Southeast—WEX fuel cards deliver nationwide acceptance, meaningful savings, robust controls, and effortless tracking.
Wilmar Inc., headquartered in Charlotte, NC, proudly represents WEX as a trusted partner. As the Southeast’s largest independent fleet leasing and management company, Wilmar helps businesses in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee implement these powerful tools alongside comprehensive fleet solutions.
Here’s everything you need to know to decide if WEX fits your operation.
Why WEX Fuel Cards Stand Out Right Now
WEX cards go far beyond simple payment—they function as complete fleet management systems. Accepted at 95% of U.S. gas stations and over 45,000 service locations, they let drivers fuel up anywhere without detours.
Fleet managers gain real-time data, automated accounting, and customizable controls that curb misuse. Recent advancements, such as unified EV charging on a single card, make WEX an ideal choice for mixed fleets transitioning to electric vehicles.
Businesses using the WEX Fleet Card report average annual savings of around $1,500 through rebates and smarter spending.
Key Benefits That Deliver Results
- Real Fuel Savings: Up to 15¢ per gallon inside the WEX EDGE nationwide savings network, plus up to 3¢ per gallon elsewhere (volume-dependent). Enjoy extra discounts on tires, maintenance, hotels, and more.
- Ironclad Control & Security: Set limits by driver, product type (fuel-only or repairs), time of day, or location. Transactions link to Driver ID. Zero Fraud Liability shields your business from unauthorized use.
- Seamless Tracking & Reporting: Ditch receipt chasing. Automatic capture of fuel grade, odometer, and tax data feeds custom reports and mobile apps. Integrate directly with accounting software for paperless efficiency.
- Cash Flow Flexibility: Pick the WEX Fleet Card (pay in full monthly, no interest) or WEX FlexCard (carry a balance with interest only when you choose). Both share identical controls and network access.
- Mobile Convenience: WEX Connect and Fleet SmartHub apps help drivers locate the cheapest fuel nearby while managers monitor activity in real time.
- Scalability: Ideal for small businesses, mid-size fleets, trucking (via specialized options), and government operations. Layer on GPS telematics for deeper insights.
