Car IQ Inc., an in-vehicle payment product, announced a new partnership with Huck’s Convenience Store. The retailer will now accept Car IQ’s payment method for commercial fleet drivers at all of its 128 store locations.

“Merchants such as Huck’s are critical in providing solid regional coverage for commercial fleet drivers,” said Sterling Pratz, CEO, Car IQ. “Huck's has a long history and a reputable name known for innovation. Car IQ will bring a more seamless and secure payment method to Huck’s for commercial fleet drivers.”

According to the release, Car IQ’s proprietary technology allows commercial fleet vehicles to connect directly to Huck’s Convenience Store gas pumps. Fleet drivers will pay through the Car IQ app.  Using telematics integration, Car IQ Pay validates the fleet vehicle, authorizes payment and unlocks the pump. After fueling, Car IQ pays the merchant and verifies the fuel was received.

“Working with Car IQ checks a lot of boxes for us,” said Jon Bunch, director of marketing at Huck’s. “We’re always looking to innovate in everything we do. With Car IQ in our corner, we can not only provide an incredible, state-of-the-art payment platform for our customers, but we can also tap into an enormous amount of new opportunities to create commercial fleet volume at our stations.”

In January, ExxonMobil implemented Car IQ at over 12,000 locations.
