Uber Now Lets You Create Separate Profiles for Business and Personal

December 17, 2015 by solestraveling

Uber is my main mode of transportation these days. It’s so convenient and it’s everywhere; 68 countries and growing. If you’re not already using Uber, click here to get your first ride free. Uber is such a massive business these days, so it would be surprising if anyone hadn’t already had a ride in an Uber. The application allows you to book a ride by making an online payment. With any online payments, it’s important that there is an ACH (automated clearing house) involved to make sure that the payment goes through to the correct account. Big businesses should make use of security software from TokenEx, or other companies similar, to make sure they’re NACHA compliant. This will ensure that online payments are secure and safe from any breaches of data. Hopefully, Uber will use something like that to keep their consumer data safe.

One pain point of using Uber when traveling for business was going into my email and finding the correct receipt. Did I have a ride from the airport that morning, then a personal ride to lunch? Which receipt is personal, which receipt is for business? And did I remember to switch my credit card from business to personal on my way home from that whiskey bar last night? And why are all these personal receipts in my business Concur (expensing software) account?

Well, thankfully, Uber rolled out a new feature last week that lets users switch between business and personal profiles. The most important part of this new feature is being able to designate which credit card will be charged and where the receipt will be emailed. Additionally, if you’ve connected your Concur account (provided you use it) with Uber, only the rides on your business profile will be imported as an available receipt in your Concur expense report. This new feature is just another step forward in making sure that fleets like these are advancing for their customers. Implementing such helpful software as telematics from companies like https://www.lytx.com/en-us/resources/articles/telematics will do wonders for keeping Uber up to date and safe.

Click here to find out how to import your Uber receipts to Concur.

Now all you need to remember is to switch the correct profile before requesting your Uber. (It’s easy, just click the Uber menu button and select which profile you’d like to use). Hopefully this will improve users’ experience with Uber as some have been left with sour tastes in their mouths following an accident in their Uber ride.

So, how do you set up business profiles?

First, go to your payment methods and add your company credit card.

From your computer:

  1. Go to https://www.uber.com/business/profiles
  2. Enter your business email
  3. Log into your Uber account
  4. Continue customizing your profile in the Uber app on your phone

From your phone:

  1. Open the Uber menu
  2. Click settings
  3. Under profiles: add a business profile
  4. Add the business credit card to your new business profile as the default payment
From here you can customize your business profile with email, send to Concur, choose your report preferences, and even change your business profile name.

If you want to delete your profile, you actually have to contact Uber and request that it is deleted. OR…
  1. Open your Uber menu
  2. Click settings
  3. Click business
  4. Change your email
  5. Change your default payment
Know any other expense reporting tricks? I’d love to know, as I’m always drowning in receipts. Let me know what’s missing from this list by leaving a comment below, send me a Tweet, or comment on Facebook.

St. Augustine, Florida has FREE RV parking! Read b St. Augustine, Florida has FREE RV parking! Read below to find out where and the details. 

We loved St Augustine. First, the city is super dog friendly, with many restaurants and bars allowing pets on the patio, and some of the non-food venues allow pets inside. While the fort does not allow dogs inside, dogs are allowed on the property outside. Plus, dogs are allowed on most beaches and at the Fountain of Youth park. 

We explored for the day, checked out shops, had lunch, watched boats, walked a ton... And the RV was in a free lot.

Check out 1 Ribera St. It has free day parking for vehicles and RVs. It's just a few blocks further than most of paid lots. This is a day use lot only. However for $35 a night you can buy a parking pass that allows for overnight parking -- but not sleeping. So if you plan to sleep in your rig overnight be super stealth.

We found this adorable first come, first serve cam We found this adorable first come, first serve campground in Del Rio, Texas on the Amistad Reservoir. No hook up, but water was next to our site and the campground has pit toilets. It's managed by NPS, and was only $10 per night when we visited. Great cell coverage but it's only a mile or so away from the local border patrol office, and ICR rolled through about five times per day -- which was a little daunting.
