How to validate an employee&#39;s expense receipt for an Uber ride
<p>I believe an expense receipt I have received for an Uber ride from an employee is fake. Am I legally allowed to contact Uber and ask them to verify the receipt? If I suggest to the employee i think the receipt is fake that is a serious accusation. I would rather validate the receipt independently with Uber first. Is that possible/allowed because it's not my Uber account?</p>

<p>You cannot validate it because the employee used his personal Uber account and Uber would breach customer's privacy if they told you about a transaction you are not a party to.</p>

<p>Consider using <a href="https://help.uber.com/h/827ebfa9-024d-4ad7-8c28-88681e1eb977" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Uber for Business</a> or give your employee a business credit card so that you could track the expenses.</p>

<p>You can contact Uber - that's legal. They can't tell you anything- if they did that would be illegal as it violates privacy law.</p>
