Odometer prompt
A pump or app prompt asking the driver to enter vehicle mileage during a transaction.
Why It Matters
Odometer prompt affects who can buy fuel, where the card works and how exceptions show up in account review.
How It Shows Up
- Odometer prompt may appear in account settings, card prompts, decline reports or driver setup screens.
- The setting can apply by driver, vehicle, product, merchant, time period or dollar amount.
- It creates value only when someone reviews exceptions and keeps the rules current.
Example
A dispatcher using odometer prompt may allow a driver to buy diesel during a route but block non-fuel purchases or unusual locations. The exact rule depends on the provider's control panel.
Common Mix-Up
A supported control is not automatically active. Ask how it is configured and what happens when a driver needs an override.
What to Check
- Confirm whether odometer prompt can be set by driver, vehicle, product, location or time period.
- Check how overrides work during breakdowns, reroutes or after-hours dispatch.
- Review exception reports so controls do not become unused settings.
Questions to Ask
- Can odometer prompt be configured by card, driver or unit?
- What does the driver see when a purchase is declined?
- Which report shows attempted exceptions?
