**Summary:** Prepaid or corporate card dedicated to fuel purchases as an alternative to per-receipt reimbursement.

- A fuel card (Wex, Fleetcor, Edenred) pays for fuel directly, eliminating per-receipt reimbursement.
- Benefits: automatic per-driver spending controls, single-file accounting integration, negotiated pump rates.
- Drawback: covers neither depreciation nor maintenance.
- Companies often pair fuel cards with mileage reimbursement to cover those other costs.
