Uber Receipt: The Key to Unlocking Your Business Potential

Managing all those Uber receipts can be overwhelming for a frequent Uber user, whether for business or personal trips. Uber makes receipt management easy by sending a detailed receipt to the email associated with your account after every trip. 

If you’re not receiving your receipts via email, check your spam or junk folder to see if they’ve been sent there.

How can you access an Uber receipt?

To access your Uber receipts, follow these steps:

1. Open the Uber app and tap the “Menu” icon.

2. Go to “Trips” to see your trip history and associated receipts.

3. Find the specific trip you're looking for and click on 'View Receipt.'

4. Within the details of your trips, you will find an option to email or download the receipt.

5. If you use a computer, log in to Uber.com, click on your profile, and go to “My Trips” to manage your receipts.

Here’s how Shoeboxed can help you manage your Uber receipts:

1. Receipt capture and digitization
