Taxi Receipt Lookup: How to Find or Replace a Lost Cab Receipt
On this page
Recovering a lost taxi receipt depends on how you paid and which taxi service you used. Here's how to find your fare details — and what to do when the paper receipt is gone.
If the original receipt is unavailable, use the Taxi Receipt Generator to create a clean PDF from your verified trip details for expense documentation.
Quick Answer
Check your credit card statement for the fare amount and date. For app-based taxi services, check the trip history in the app — most resend receipts by email on request. For traditional cabs, call the taxi company dispatch with your card and trip date.
Method 1: Check Your Credit or Debit Card Statement
This is the fastest and most reliable lookup method for any taxi ride paid by card:
- Open your bank or card statement
- Search for the taxi company name or the fare amount
- Note the date, amount, and merchant name
- Use that as your primary reference for the expense record
For company travel cards, the card issuer's online portal usually shows itemized merchant details.
Method 2: App-Based Taxi Services (Curb, Flywheel, Arro)
Many modern taxi apps keep full trip history:
- Open the taxi app (Curb, Flywheel, Arro, or local equivalent)
- Navigate to Trip History or Rides
- Find the trip and tap Resend Receipt or Email Receipt
- Download or forward the email receipt
These apps typically store 12+ months of trip history.
Method 3: Contact the Taxi Company
For traditional metered cab rides:
- Locate the taxi company name from your card statement or memory
- Call their dispatch or customer service line
- Provide the date, approximate time, and pickup location
- Provide the last 4 digits of your payment card
Many taxi companies can look up the transaction from their dispatch records and reissue a receipt.

Creating a Backup Record
If you've confirmed the fare details but can't recover the original receipt:
- Note the trip date, route, and total from your card statement
- Recall or estimate the fare breakdown (meter + tolls + tip)
- Use the Taxi Receipt Generator to organize the details into a clean PDF
A backup is for your own files — use verified details from your card statement as the foundation.
