Turn Uber receipts into an expense report
If you expense rides — as a freelancer, a contractor, or anyone whose company wants receipts — Uber gives you two bad options: forward receipt emails one by one, or screenshot the app. Here's a better workflow.
The problem with doing it by hand
A month of client work can easily mean dozens of rides. Each one is a separate email, personal trips are mixed in with work trips, and your accountant wants one document with a total — not forty attachments. Multiply by twelve for tax season.
A workflow that scales
- Get every receipt in one place. Your inbox already has them. FareFare reads your Uber receipt emails — via read-only Gmail access or a file drop — and builds a table of every trip with date, route, and fare. Parsing happens in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
- Tag the work trips. Click through the trip table and tag rides as business or personal. The airport run on the 14th: business. Friday night: not so much.
- Print one report. Generate a printable expense report of the tagged trips for any period — one document, itemized, with a total, ready for your accountant or expense system. Or export the CSV and drop it into whatever tool your company uses.
What this looks like in practice
The 90-day free tier covers the core dashboard and trip table. Trip tags, printable expense reports, and all-time history are part of FareFare Premium (from €29/year) — less than most people expense in a single ride, and it still runs entirely in your browser.
One honest caveat: FareFare works from receipt emails, so it covers trips whose receipts are in the mailbox you point it at. For years-old history where you've deleted emails, pair it with Uber's official data export.
One report instead of forty forwarded emails.
Tag your work rides and print a clean expense report — built from the receipts already in your inbox.
