How to Get an Uber Receipt: From the App, Email, or a Backup Copy
On this page
Lost your Uber receipt? Start with the app — Uber saves every trip in your ride history and the original receipt is almost always retrievable within seconds. If that doesn't work, there are two more methods before you need to consider a backup.
Quick Answer
Open the Uber app → Activity → select the trip → tap Get Receipt. You can email it to yourself or download a PDF directly from that screen.
Important Notice
Replacement receipts are for personal recordkeeping only. For reimbursement, always use the official Uber receipt first. A backup document should be a last resort.
Where Uber Receipts Are Saved
Uber stores receipts in three places. Check them in this order:
- The Uber app — fastest, works for any trip in your history
- Email — Uber sends a receipt to your account email after every trip
- Uber web dashboard — riders.uber.com, useful for exporting older trip history
Most lost Uber receipts are actually in email — just buried in spam or the Promotions tab.
How to Get a Receipt from the Uber App
- Open the Uber app on your phone
- Tap the three lines (menu) in the top-left corner
- Tap Activity or Your Trips
- Select the trip you need a receipt for
- Tap Get Receipt or scroll down to find the trip details
- Choose Email to send it to your inbox or Download for a PDF
The receipt shows the date, pickup, drop-off, fare breakdown, tip, and payment method — everything most expense teams need.
How to Download an Uber Receipt as PDF
From the app: Trip details → Get Receipt → choose to email it → open your email → print to PDF.
From the web (riders.uber.com):
- Log into your account
- Click Trips in the left menu
- Find the trip and click it
- Click Download or Email receipt
The web dashboard is often cleaner for exporting multiple receipts at once.
How to Find an Uber Receipt in Email
Search your inbox for any of these:
from:uber.com receipt"your trip with"+ the date"trip receipt"
Also check:
- Spam or Junk folder
- Promotions tab (Gmail)
- Updates tab (Gmail)
- Your old email address if you recently changed accounts
Uber Eats Receipt vs. Uber Ride Receipt: Different Locations
These receipts live in different sections of the app:
- Uber ride receipts → Activity → Your Trips
- Uber Eats receipts → Uber Eats app → Orders → select the order → Get Receipt
If you are looking for a food delivery receipt, you must open the Uber Eats app separately — it is not combined with your ride history in the main Uber app.
Uber Receipt for Business Expense Reimbursement
For expense reimbursement, the Uber receipt PDF typically includes everything finance teams need:
- Date and time
- Pickup and drop-off locations
- Fare breakdown (base fare, surge, booking fee)
- Tip amount
- Total charged
- Payment method
If your company uses an expense platform (Concur, Expensify, SAP), you can forward the receipt email directly and most platforms will parse the data automatically.
For Uber for Business accounts — your company may already have centralized access to all receipts. Check with your admin before searching manually.
What to Do If Your Uber Receipt Shows the Wrong Amount
Uber fares can be adjusted after a trip for several reasons: route changes, wait time, tolls, or corrections. If your receipt shows an unexpected total:
- Open the trip in the app
- Tap Help at the bottom
- Select Dispute a fare or charge
- Uber will review and adjust if appropriate
Note: fare adjustments appear as a separate credit or charge, not as a corrected receipt — keep both records.
Still Missing Your Uber Receipt?
Double-check the account used for the ride — work profile, family account, or a different email. If the ride was booked for someone else (assistant, client), the receipt is under their account.
If you genuinely cannot retrieve it, create a clean personal backup with the core details from your bank statement: date, amount, and Uber as the merchant.
