How to Get a Motel 6 Receipt After Your Stay
On this page
If you need a Motel 6 receipt after checkout, the best approach is to request the original folio from the property as soon as possible. Hotels and motels can often resend a copy if you provide enough stay details.
Motel 6’s own reservation policies make that workflow sensible, because the property and reservation record are still the main source of the final stay details and charged nights. See Motel 6 Reservations, Guarantee, and Cancellation Policies.
Quick Answer
To get a Motel 6 receipt after your stay, contact the property first and provide your guest name, stay dates, and payment details so they can locate the folio quickly.
What to Gather Before Asking
Have these details ready:
- Guest name
- Check-in and check-out dates
- Room number if you remember it
- Last four digits of the payment card
- The email address where you want the folio sent
Best Places to Check First
- Your email inbox for the original booking confirmation
- The Motel 6 property directly
- Any travel portal or booking platform used for the stay
- Your payment records for the exact total
For reimbursement or travel records, the IRS travel-expense guidance still favors the detailed lodging record over a simple payment charge. See IRS Publication 463.
If You Need a Backup Copy
If the original is delayed or unavailable, keep a personal backup with the guest details, stay dates, nightly charges, tax lines, and final total so your travel records stay organized.

It can help as backup, but the final folio or receipt is usually better because it shows the completed charges and payment.
