Our review

Our review of the WEX Motorpass
Reviewed by Ally Burnie
Last update 26 May 2021

When it comes to true multi-branded fuel cards, there are two real contenders. WEX Motorpass Fuel Card is one of them. They have designed their offering to target businesses that enjoy card flexibility over the small pump discounts competitors offer by packing it full of features.
Besides being accepted at 93% of fuel stations around Australia, they are the first in the multi-branded fuel card space to introduce a mobile app to manage your account on the go which can show you recent transactions and even deactivate cards on the spot.

Most of the negative reviews from WEX Motorpass customers seem to stem from customer support issues, and promotional offerings where they have made it seem like fuel cards means you’ll spend less money overall, which sadly isn’t the case. Recently, however, WEX has been upfront about their additional fees, with everything outlined on their website.

Overall, the WEX Motorpass Fuel Card offers plenty of flexibility, including what and how you can use the card.

Quick facts

  • Accepted at over 6,000 locations across Australia
  • $5 per card + GST (1-5 cards) paid monthly, with discounts for additional cards
  • $0.75c transaction fees (2% surcharge when used at Coles Express)
  • Several perks and discounts partners

WEX Motorpass also boasts of a robust benefit structure from discounts on fuel purchase to deals on tyres, batteries, servicing and even accommodation. With access to over 6,000 locations, the ability to tailor purchase limits on each card and the benefit of not being tied down to one specific fuel brand, the WEX Motorpass certainly gives you great control over your company’s fleet.

WEX Motorpass Fees

While WEX Motorpass can be used at 93% of fuel stations Australia wide, this benefit does come with some fees (at least compared to its smaller competitors). Firstly, is its monthly management fee: $5 per card (1-5 cards), $4.50 per card (6-10 cards), $4.00 per card (11-24 cards), and $3.85 per card (25+ cards). To get an additional card, it’s another one-time payment of $8.00, while a replacement card is also $8.00. Express card delivery fee is $10.00 per envelope.

Meanwhile, you’ll also cop a $60 late payment fee (+5.82% of the overdue amount). There is also a $0.75c transaction fee on all purchases at all stations, except Coles Express where it’s a flat 2% surcharge.

Paper statement fees cost $5.95 per statement, while quarterly activity reports cost $12.73 per card. An annual activity report costs $15.00 per card. With 10 or more cards, however, you get a 1% discount off statement value.

In terms of security features, WEX Motorpass Fuel Cards offer a few options depending on what type of card you get. It’s important to note PINs are not available at all merchants.

Getting the most out of the WEX Motorpass Fuel Card

To get the most out of the WEX Motorpass Fuel Card, you should still ‘shop around’ for the lowest fuel prices using services like petrolspy.com.au.
