When you go to a new city for business you need to get around the town. This used to be what taxis were for, now it is Uber. In a new report the number one expense of people traveling is Uber, where it used to be coffee. This proves the tech giant is here to stay.

Key Takeaways:

  • A new study found that 6% of all business travel transactions in 2016 were with Uber, making the ridesharing company the most common expense,
  • The findings are a reminder of the rapid growth of ridesharing, and the challenging future for traditional car rental companies and taxis.
  • Both Uber and its competitor Lyft saw huge gains in 2015, while taxi and rental cars suffered.
