Do taxi cabs give receipts?

Question

Can you ask a taxi drive to give you a receipt after you pay?

Answer 1

In the UK, if you ask for a receipt, you are legally entitled to one.

If the driver refuses, report him to the local Licensing Authority and to the Inland Revenue.

Answer 2

I'm sure they do if you ask. People that use them for business would need one to get re-reimbursed

Answer 3

Actually, taxi cabs don't give receipts. However, if you ask the driver, they will give receipts. Perhaps one day, taxi cabs will be fully automated and won't require a driver. But, until then, you will need to ask the driver for a receipt.

Answer 4

they don't. also, theyt don't carry anything to give you like that,

best they could do is write it down for you, but thats not really any different from you writing it down yourself. ( wouldn't be officail or anything...

Answer 5

yupper,just ask the driver

Answer 6

Yes, just ask them for it.

Answer 7

Yes.  It's a business transaction and that entitles you to a receipt.  Don't be shy to ask for one.

Answer 8

In some countries they do, as in Holland.

Answer 9

Yes

Answer 10

Yep.  Just ask.

Answer 11

Yes. Cab drivers carry blank receipts for this purpose. If they don't hand write them, and they process your credit card for payment, there is a good chance the receipt is printed from the equipment processing the transaction. Cabs must provide in order for fares to file the receipts with their expense reports for reimbursement. I take cabs four times + per week in different cities from different companies. I always get a receipt and always get reimbursed.

Answer 12

Sure. Business travelers need receipts for expense account purposes. Taxi drivers are equipped to issue receipts.

Answer 13

Yes, absolutely.

Answer 14

Yes.  It's common practice because many business people have to take cabs, and they often need the receipt to show their company their business expenses.  Any time money is exchanged, you may ask for a receipt, even if it is handwritten.
