Uber rides are one of the most common business travel expenses — client meetings, airport trips, conference commutes. But the receipt lives in the app, not in your email inbox, which makes them easy to forget and hard to retrieve. Here's the complete guide to finding every Uber receipt and getting it into your expense report.
Finding Receipts in the Uber App
Open the Uber app → tap the menu icon (☰) → 'Your Trips.' Every trip you've ever taken is listed here in reverse chronological order. Tap any trip to see the full receipt: pickup and drop-off addresses, trip duration, distance, base fare, surge pricing, tip, and total. The receipt also shows the vehicle type and driver's name.
Emailing a Receipt to Yourself
From the trip detail screen, tap 'Resend receipt' (on some versions it's under the '...' menu). Uber will email the receipt to your registered email address. The email contains all the trip details in a clean format that's easy to forward to your accounting team or attach to an expense report. This is the fastest way to get an Uber receipt into a format you can file.
Uber's Trips Page on Web (trips.uber.com)
You can also access your full trip history at trips.uber.com. Log in with your Uber account, and every trip appears in a list with date, route, and total. Click any trip to see the detailed receipt. From the web, you can print or save the page as a PDF — ideal for submitting to an expense system or attaching to a client invoice.
Uber for Business: Centralized Receipts for Teams
If your company uses Uber for Business, all employee ride receipts flow into a central dashboard at business.uber.com. Finance admins can view trips by employee, date range, or cost center, and export everything to CSV or PDF. Uber for Business also allows you to set ride policies (max fare, allowed times, approved destinations) so receipts are automatically policy-compliant.
Forward your Uber email receipts to ReceiptPanda and we'll auto-categorize them as 'Travel' and extract pickup location, drop-off, distance, and total — ready for your expense report.
Uber Eats Receipts
Uber Eats receipts work the same way: Uber Eats app → Orders → select the order → 'View receipt.' You can also access them at eats.uber.com. Uber Eats orders are usually categorized as 'Meals' for business expense purposes when the order is for a team lunch, client entertainment, or working meal. Keep the receipt to substantiate the business purpose.
Bulk Exporting Uber Receipts for Tax Season
Uber doesn't have a native bulk export for personal accounts, but you can use the trips.uber.com web interface to download individual PDFs. For bulk export, Uber for Business is the right tool — it exports all trips in a date range to CSV with one click. If you're a frequent Uber user and not on a business account, consider switching — the receipt management alone is worth it.
What counts as a deductible Uber ride?
For tax purposes, a business Uber ride is deductible if its primary purpose is business: traveling to a client site, going to or from the airport for a business trip, commuting between two business locations (not your home to your first work location — that's personal commuting). Keep a note in ReceiptPanda with the business purpose for each Uber trip. Your receipt plus a business purpose note is all the documentation the IRS requires.
Uber Receipt Won't Load or Is Missing?
If a trip receipt isn't showing in your app, try the web at trips.uber.com first — the app sometimes lags. If a trip is missing entirely, contact Uber support at help.uber.com with the approximate date and origin city. Uber stores trip records indefinitely, so even old receipts can usually be retrieved via support. Response times are faster through the in-app help than via email.
