What is the difference between a fleet card and a corporate card?

Corporate card: general-purpose, accepted everywhere. Fleet card: closed-loop, accredited-network only, with per-plate control and per-transaction NF-e.

Does a fleet card require a CNPJ?

Yes. Fleet cards are B2B products issued exclusively to legal entities with an active CNPJ.

How does per-vehicle limit work?

The manager sets per-vehicle parameters: max refueling amount, weekly liter limit, allowed fuel type, and operating hours. Transactions exceeding any limit are auto-blocked.

Do fleet cards charge annual fees?

It depends on the provider. Some charge a monthly fee per active card; others charge a percentage of volume. Compare total cost before deciding.

What network coverage is sufficient?

The practical rule: the network must cover at least 80% of your fleet usual refueling. For interstate routes, verify per-state coverage. Always request the provider station map before signing.
