Lyft Inc. introduced business profiles in April as a way for users to record their rides depending on whether it is for personal or work-related use and charge it to a different payment card.

The latest update for Lyft now provides a split of a user’s ride history between Personal and Business, and allows users to download custom expense reports.

Both Lyft and rival Uber Technologies Inc., who introduced business profiles in November, are trying to capture a larger portion of the business traveler market. A recent report by Certify Inc., which offers travel and expense management software, suggests that ride-hailing now accounts for 78 percent of total rides compared to taxis. Uber dominates the market, but Lyft has grown faster than its rival over the last quarter.

If you are a business traveler, we look at how you can download a custom expense report for your business-related Lyft rides.

Create custom expense reports for your business rides

To get access to the latest changes to business profiles on Lyft you will need to download the latest version of the Android or iOS app.

Open the Lyft app on your device > tap on the Menu > Ride History. Your ride history with Lyft is now divided into All, Personal and Business, previously it just listed all your rides together. Tap the Business tab > tap Export and select the relevant business rides > tap Send Report.

Tip: If you accidently allocate a ride to your Personal profile rather than your Business profile, it is possible to move the ride receipt over, but the payment method used will stay the same. Open the Lyft app > Menu > Ride History > open the relevant ride receipt > tap to change the profile from ‘Personal’ to ‘Business’.

If you haven’t set up a business profile yet, visit the Lyft site. You will be able to set up a different payment method, receive ride receipts to your work email address, add notes to each of your Lyft rides, and Concur integration ensures rides are automatically uploaded.
