Many startups in SF already offer a reimbursement for work related travel but many employees don't follow up on it due to the inconvenience involved. This is a really good idea and I wonder how long until Uber announces the same.

Uber actually came out with "Uber for Business" at the end of July:

I had a feeling they did but my quick search didn't turn anything up. Thanks.

Uber business is a good approach. But you'll get individual bills for every trip.

I hope Lyft gets you one consolidated bill a month for the company.

This is the worst part in using Uber for a company. They won't consolidate on a monthly invoice (like most B2B vendors) so you end up with hundreds of Uber transactions on your credit card statement. It's a real pain to manage.

I disagree. In my personal case, I need to individually account for each of those rides when I file reimbursement. A month does not capture that the first week was billable to client x, the second week was work related travel, Monday I was taking a prospective around, etc. individual transactions let me group them by which expense report they belong in.

Maybe this is not true for everyone tho.

This offering is similar to Uber Perks , which uber has had for a couple years..
