It turns out, you’re not the only one taking Uber rides for work.
After steadily increasing in popularity among business people, Uber (UBER) finally trumped rental cars when it came to business expenses, according to a report released on Thursday by expense software company Certify. While Uber rides made up 41% of expensed rides during the fourth quarter of 2015, rental cars only made up 39%. Meanwhile, Uber rides overtook taxis rides two quarters ago.
For its report, Certify analyzed more than 9 million receipts and travel expenses for the last quarter of 2015, and over 30 million receipts for the entire year, a spokesman told Coins2Day.
