According to Uber, employers create a business account on Uber’s website and then link the payment method choice and add employees to the account. Employees will get an email invitation to join their company's Uber account. Then employers have trip information immediately available.
In addition, Uber has started a new partnership with Concur, a business travel and expense management company. This partnership allows Uber customers to link its travel information and e-receipt to its Concur account, says Uber.
