Auto Pay makes expensing easier by enabling employees to charge their business rides directly to the organization’s credit card or invoice instead of paying out of pocket and seeking reimbursement.

Paying for business rides with Auto Pay

Now when your employees switch to their business profile to take a ride, they'll see your organization's name in the bottom left corner as the payment method for the ride where they usually see their own payment method. Auto Pay can only be used to pay for rides taken under a business profile. This prevents employees from accidentally charging personal rides.

Using Auto Pay for approved rides only

There are no inherent restrictions or caps with Auto Pay when organizations enable this payment option in Business Profiles. Mandatory ride expense details can also be activated if you'd like to regulate and/or monitor usage. With this feature employees are required to enter both an expense code and a trip's purpose before they can request a ride in business mode.
