Amazon Relay carriers can receive discounts at 4600+ Comdata locations across the United States. With Comdata’s fuel card, the discounts are applied at the time of transaction for immediate savings. Combined with predictive pricing, Relay carriers can save millions of dollars per year (and average $.34 price per gallon discount). Here’s how.
Relay carriers have saved $4.4MM so far with Comdata through our fuel card program.
Savings
Fuel cards give customers the ability to monetize their business spending. That includes added cash flow to reinvest in business and reduce costs.
Comdata offers:
- Discounts on fuel
- Reduced administration time
- Ability to find lowest price fuel
- Cash price at truck stops
Oversight
Fuel cards give carriers control and security over how their drivers spend, when they spend, and what they spend on. That allows carriers to mitigate unauthorized spending, misuse, and fraud. Transaction-level spend controls and real-time visibility into spend also help eliminate penalty fees and/or spend liability.
Comdata offers:
- Prompted ID (and odometer)
- Fuel or fuel and maintenance
- Spending/gallon limits
- Time/day restrictions

Acceptance
Fuel cards give Relay carriers access to Comdata’s large merchant network, so they can spend virtually anywhere. That means drivers have greater access to fueling options, which allows them to shop for their lowest price or preferred fuel.

- Largest proprietary fleet card network (which can be located through mobile app)
- Universal acceptance with Mastercard
- No need to change merchants
- Convenience
Reporting
With fuel cards, Relay carriers can track, manage, and control fuel expenses across multiple vehicles and drivers. That leads to increased operational efficiency, insight into spend, and the ability to mitigate reconciliation discrepancies.
