Use Uber for Business with Emburse Enterprise

Emburse Enterprise can receive Uber for Business receipts and create HTML receipts for expense reporting. When you connect your Uber Business Profile to Emburse Enterprise, Uber sends business ride and meal receipts to your business email address and copies the Emburse Enterprise receipt intake address. Emburse Enterprise uses the copied receipt email to create an HTML receipt for expense reporting.

Emburse Enterprise assigns Uber ride receipts to the Taxi expense type and Uber Eats receipts to the Meal expense type. You receive the standard receipt email notification after Emburse Enterprise receives and processes the receipt.

Uber may take up to 11 hours to send a receipt to Emburse Enterprise after Uber sends the receipt to your email address.

Use Uber for Business

To request a ride in Uber, follow Uber’s instructions for requesting a ride and getting a price estimate.

Before you confirm the ride, make sure that your Uber Business Profile is selected. If your Personal profile is selected, switch to Business before you request the ride.

Emburse Enterprise receives Uber receipts only when the ride is requested with your Uber Business Profile. Personal rides are not sent to Emburse Enterprise.

After the ride is complete, Uber sends the receipt to your business email address and copies the Emburse Enterprise receipt intake address. Emburse Enterprise creates an HTML receipt for expense reporting after the receipt is received and processed.

Review Tip Charges

If you add a tip after you complete a ride, Uber sends a second email with “Uber Tip Charge” in the description.

In Emburse Enterprise, the second transaction includes only the tip amount. The tip transaction is merged with the second credit card charge.
