A taxi receipt is a document that provides the taxi driver to the customer. This document is worked as proof that the passenger has paid the fare for the trip. Usually, the driver gives the receipt to the customer when they reach the destination.

In 2026, most taxi drivers in major international cities are legally required to provide a receipt upon request at the end of a trip. Modern taxis are typically equipped with digital meters that feature integrated thermal printers, allowing them to produce a paper slip containing the fare, distance, date, and taxi license number. In many regions, such as the UK, US, and much of Europe, failing to provide a receipt can lead to fines for the driver. For app-based services like Uber, Bolt, or Grab, an e-receipt is automatically generated and sent to your registered email or stored within the "Activity" section of the app. If you are taking a "traditional" cab in a smaller town or a developing nation, the driver may use a handwritten receipt pad; it is always a good practice to ask, "Can I have a receipt?" before the ride begins to ensure the driver has the means to provide one. These receipts are vital for business travelers seeking reimbursement from their employers or for reporting lost items left in the vehicle.
