Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Presentation
	Throughout this report, the terms “our,” “we,” “us,” and the “Company” refers to FleetCor Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company prepared the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation. These adjustments consist primarily of normal recurring accruals and estimates that impact the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.
	The unaudited consolidated interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
	Foreign Currency Translation
	Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at period-end. The related translation adjustments are made directly to accumulated other comprehensive income. Income and expenses are translated at the average monthly rates of exchange in effect during the period. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are included in net income. The Company recognized foreign exchange losses of $1.9 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which are recorded within other expense, net in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.
	Adoption of New Accounting Standards
	Going Concern
	In August 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15 “Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”, which requires entities to perform interim and annual assessments of the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity’s financial statements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company’s adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, as it is disclosure based.
	Discontinued Operations Reporting
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Discounted Operations Reporting” that changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. This update will have the impact of reducing the frequency of disposals reported as discontinued operations, by requiring such a disposal to represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. This update also expands the disclosures for discontinued operations, and requires new disclosures related to individually significant disposals that do not qualify as discontinued operations. The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2015. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, as the Company did not have discontinued operations.
	Revenue Recognition
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which amends the guidance in former ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. This amended guidance requires revenue to be recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled for those goods and services when the performance obligation has been satisfied. This amended guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and related cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods, with early adoption not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of ASC 606. On April 29, 2015, the FASB issued for public comment a proposed ASU that would defer the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard by one year. The proposed is open for review and comment until May 29, 2015.
	Stock-Based Payment Awards with Performance Targets
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Share-Based Payment Awards With Performance Targets That Are Attainable After the Requisite Service Period”, for companies that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2015. This adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

Receivables [Abstract]
Accounts Receivable	2. Accounts Receivable
	The Company maintains a $1.2 billion revolving trade accounts receivable Securitization Facility. Pursuant to the terms of the Securitization Facility, the Company transfers certain of its domestic receivables, on a revolving basis, to FleetCor Funding LLC (Funding) a wholly-owned bankruptcy remote subsidiary. In turn, Funding sells, without recourse, on a revolving basis, up to $1.2 billion of undivided ownership interests in this pool of accounts receivable to a multi-seller, asset-backed commercial paper conduit (Conduit). Funding maintains a subordinated interest, in the form of over-collateralization, in a portion of the receivables sold to the Conduit. Purchases by the Conduit are financed with the sale of highly-rated commercial paper.
	The Company utilizes proceeds from the sale of its accounts receivable as an alternative to other forms of debt, to reduce its overall borrowing costs. The Company has agreed to continue servicing the sold receivables for the financial institution at market rates, which approximates the Company’s cost of servicing. The Company retains a residual interest in the accounts receivable sold as a form of credit enhancement. The residual interest’s fair value approximates carrying value due to its short-term nature. Funding determines the level of funding achieved by the sale of trade accounts receivable, subject to a maximum amount.
	The Company’s accounts receivable and securitized accounts receivable include the following at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):
		March 31,			December 31,
		2015			2014
	Gross domestic accounts receivable	$	370,200		$	330,466
	Gross domestic securitized accounts receivable		679,000			675,000
	Gross foreign receivables		425,243			367,173
	Total gross receivables		1,474,443			1,372,639
	Less allowance for doubtful accounts		(21,969	)		(23,842	)
	Net accounts and securitized accounts receivable	$	1,452,474		$	1,348,797
	Foreign receivables are not included in the Company’s accounts receivable securitization program. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there was $679 million and $675 million, respectively, of short-term debt outstanding under the Company’s accounts receivable Securitization Facility.
	A rollforward of the Company’s allowance for doubtful accounts related to accounts receivable for three months ended March 31 is as follows (in thousands):
		2015			2014
	Allowance for doubtful accounts beginning of period	$	23,842		$	22,416
	Add:
	Provision for bad debts		8,145			5,554
	Less:
	Write-offs		(10,018	)		(6,207	)
	Allowance for doubtful accounts end of period	$	21,969		$	21,763

Fair_Value_Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	3. Fair Value Measurements
	Fair value is a market-based measurement that reflects assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. GAAP discusses valuation techniques, such as the market approach (comparable market prices), the income approach (present value of future income or cash flow), and the cost approach (cost to replace the service capacity of an asset or replacement cost). These valuation techniques are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions.
	As the basis for evaluating such inputs, a three-tier value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
		•		Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
		•		Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability, including quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar or identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.
		•		Level 3: Unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions. The fair value hierarchy also requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value.
	The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities which are measured at fair values on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, (in thousands).

	Liabilities:
	Acquisition related contingent consideration		$	43,486	$	—	$	—	$	43,486
	The Company has highly liquid investments classified as cash equivalents, with original maturities of 90 days or less, included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company utilizes Level 2 fair value determinations derived from directly or indirectly observable (market based) information to determine the fair value of these highly liquid investments. The Company has certain cash and cash equivalents that are invested on an overnight basis in repurchase agreements, money markets and certificates of deposit. The value of overnight repurchase agreements is determined based upon the quoted market prices for the treasury securities associated with the repurchase agreements. Certificates of deposit are valued at cost, plus interest accrued. Given the short term nature of these instruments, the carrying value approximates fair value.
	The level within the fair value hierarchy and the measurement technique are reviewed quarterly. Transfers between levels are deemed to have occurred at the end of the quarter. There were no transfers between fair value levels during the periods presented for 2015 and 2014.
	The Company’s nonfinancial assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis in connection with periodic testing for impairment include property, plant and equipment, equity method investment, goodwill and other intangible assets. As necessary, the Company generally uses projected cash flows, discounted as appropriate, to estimate the fair values of the assets using key inputs such as management’s projections of cash flows on a held-and-used basis (if applicable), management’s projections of cash flows upon disposition and discount rates. Accordingly, these fair value measurements are in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. These assets and liabilities are recognized at fair value on a nonrecurring basis if an impairment is identified.
	The carrying value of the Company’s cash, accounts receivable, securitized accounts receivable and related facility, prepaid expenses and other current assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, customer deposits and short-term borrowings approximate their respective carrying values due to the short-term maturities of the instruments. The carrying value of the Company’s debt obligations approximates fair value as the interest rates on the debt are variable market based interest rates that reset on a quarterly basis. These are each level 2 fair value measurements, except for cash, which is a level 1 fair value measurement.

These adjustments recorded in 2015 did not have a significant impact on the 2014 consolidated income statement, balance sheet or statement of cash flows, thus the Company has not recast these statements. Changes in foreign exchange rates resulted in a $27.3 million decrease to the carrying values of other intangible assets in the three months ended March 31, 2015. Amortization expense related to intangible assets for the three month ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 was $39.8 million and $18.3 million, respectively.

	(a)	On October 24, 2014, the Company entered into a new $3.355 billion Credit Agreement, which provides for senior secured credit facilities consisting of (a) a revolving A credit facility in the amount of $1.0 billion, with sublimits for letters of credit, swing line loans and multicurrency borrowings, (b) a revolving B facility in the amount of $35 million for loans in Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars, (c) a term loan A facility in the amount of $2.02 billion and (d) a term loan B facility in the amount $300 million. The Credit Agreement also contains an accordion feature for borrowing an additional $500 million in term A or revolver A and term B. Interest on amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement (other than the term loan B facility) accrues based on the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate (the Eurocurrency Rate), plus a margin based on a leverage ratio, or our option, the Base Rate (defined as the rate equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate announced by Bank of America, N.A., or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.00%) plus a margin based on a leverage ratio. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. Interest on the term loan B facility accrues based on the Eurocurrency Rate or the Base Rate, as described above, except that the applicable margin is fixed at 3% for Eurocurency Loans and at 2% for Base Rate Loans. In addition, the Company pays a quarterly commitment fee at a rate per annum ranging from 0.20% to 0.40% of the daily unused portion of the credit facility. The stated maturity date for the term loan A, revolving loans, and letters of credit under the New Credit Agreement is November 14, 2019 and November 14, 2021 for the term loan B. The Company has unamortized debt discounts of $7.1 million related to the term A facility and $1.4 million related to the term B facility at March 31, 2015.
	(b)	The Company is party to a $1.2 billion receivables purchase agreement (Securitization Facility) that was amended and restated for the fifth time on November 14, 2014 in connection with the Comdata acquisition. There is a program fee equal to one month LIBOR and the Commercial Paper Rate of 0.20% plus 0.90% and 0.18% plus 0.90% as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	9. Earnings Per Share
	The Company reports basic and diluted earnings per share. Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to shareholders of the Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the reported period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the potential dilution related to equity-based incentives using the treasury stock method. The calculation and reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31 (in thousands, except per share data) follows:
		Three Months Ended

		2015		2014
	Net income	$	94,153	$	75,109

	Basic earnings per share	$	1.03	$	0.91
	Diluted earnings per share	$	1	$	0.88
	Basic shares includes the impact of share-based payment awards classified as participating securities, which are not material to the calculation of basic shares. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 excludes the effect of 1.1 million shares of common stock, respectively, that may be issued upon the exercise of employee stock options because such effect would be antidilutive. There were no antidilutive shares for 2014. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2015 also excludes the effect of 0.5 million shares of performance based restricted stock for which the performance criteria have not yet been achieved.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation
	Throughout this report, the terms “our,” “we,” “us,” and the “Company” refers to FleetCor Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries. The Company prepared the accompanying interim consolidated financial statements in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation. These adjustments consist primarily of normal recurring accruals and estimates that impact the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Operating results for the three month period ended March 31, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2015.
	The unaudited consolidated interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
Foreign Currency Translation	Foreign Currency Translation
	Assets and liabilities of foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at the rates of exchange in effect at period-end. The related translation adjustments are made directly to accumulated other comprehensive income. Income and expenses are translated at the average monthly rates of exchange in effect during the period. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are included in net income. The Company recognized foreign exchange losses of $1.9 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, which are recorded within other expense, net in the Unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income.
Adoption of New Accounting Standards	Adoption of New Accounting Standards
	Going Concern
	In August 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15 “Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern”, which requires entities to perform interim and annual assessments of the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year of the date of issuance of the entity’s financial statements. This ASU is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods thereafter, with early adoption permitted. The Company’s adoption of this ASU is not expected to have a material impact on the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, as it is disclosure based.
	Discontinued Operations Reporting
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, “Discounted Operations Reporting” that changes the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. This update will have the impact of reducing the frequency of disposals reported as discontinued operations, by requiring such a disposal to represent a strategic shift that has a major effect on an entity’s operations and financial results. This update also expands the disclosures for discontinued operations, and requires new disclosures related to individually significant disposals that do not qualify as discontinued operations. The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2015. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows, as the Company did not have discontinued operations.
	Revenue Recognition
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASC 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers”, which amends the guidance in former ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. This amended guidance requires revenue to be recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled for those goods and services when the performance obligation has been satisfied. This amended guidance also requires enhanced disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and related cash flows arising from contracts with customers. This ASU is effective for the Company for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2016 and interim periods, with early adoption not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of ASC 606. On April 29, 2015, the FASB issued for public comment a proposed ASU that would defer the effective date of the new revenue recognition standard by one year. The proposed is open for review and comment until May 29, 2015.
	Stock-Based Payment Awards with Performance Targets
	In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, “Share-Based Payment Awards With Performance Targets That Are Attainable After the Requisite Service Period”, for companies that grant their employees share-based payments in which the terms of the award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The Company adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2015. This adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.

	(a)	On October 24, 2014, the Company entered into a new $3.355 billion Credit Agreement, which provides for senior secured credit facilities consisting of (a) a revolving A credit facility in the amount of $1.0 billion, with sublimits for letters of credit, swing line loans and multicurrency borrowings, (b) a revolving B facility in the amount of $35 million for loans in Australian Dollars or New Zealand Dollars, (c) a term loan A facility in the amount of $2.02 billion and (d) a term loan B facility in the amount $300 million. The Credit Agreement also contains an accordion feature for borrowing an additional $500 million in term A or revolver A and term B. Interest on amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement (other than the term loan B facility) accrues based on the British Bankers Association LIBOR Rate (the Eurocurrency Rate), plus a margin based on a leverage ratio, or our option, the Base Rate (defined as the rate equal to the highest of (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.50%, (b) the prime rate announced by Bank of America, N.A., or (c) the Eurocurrency Rate plus 1.00%) plus a margin based on a leverage ratio. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears. Interest on the term loan B facility accrues based on the Eurocurrency Rate or the Base Rate, as described above, except that the applicable margin is fixed at 3% for Eurocurency Loans and at 2% for Base Rate Loans. In addition, the Company pays a quarterly commitment fee at a rate per annum ranging from 0.20% to 0.40% of the daily unused portion of the credit facility. The stated maturity date for the term loan A, revolving loans, and letters of credit under the New Credit Agreement is November 14, 2019 and November 14, 2021 for the term loan B. The Company has unamortized debt discounts of $7.1 million related to the term A facility and $1.4 million related to the term B facility at March 31, 2015.
	(b)	The Company is party to a $1.2 billion receivables purchase agreement (Securitization Facility) that was amended and restated for the fifth time on November 14, 2014 in connection with the Comdata acquisition. There is a program fee equal to one month LIBOR and the Commercial Paper Rate of 0.20% plus 0.90% and 0.18% plus 0.90% as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. The unused facility fee is payable at a rate of 0.40% per annum as of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014.
	(c)	Other debt includes other deferred liabilities associated with certain of our businesses and is recorded within notes payable and other obligations, less current portion in the consolidated Balance Sheets.
