Most companies have some policy or regulation for what get reimbursed during a business trip. That would include most expenses that are related to your traveling (such as rental car fees, gas, uber, lyft, airplane fees, etc.), hotel charges, meal costs, parking, etc.. Some things like tips, dry cleaning, or certain other concierge fees usually aren't included, but it doesn't hurt to ask. The biggest recommendation is to find out what your limits would be for meals, hotels, or even airplane tickets. Knowing those before you travel could save you a bunch or you might be eating the costs out of your pocket.
Ask what’s included under policy - some companies set a dollar amount per day for food/bev (aka, no receipts needed) and some will reimburse based on what you spent in which recipes for meals are needed. Otherwise, yes to the lyft(s), plus your hotel/airfare if not purchased directly by the company and/or not used
Usually any expense related to a business trip (transportation, hotel, meals). Your company should have a policy on what is included, and what is not.
My company would cover all travel and hotel accommodations (within certain limits) as well as $40 for breakfast, $40 for lunch, and $100 for dinner, among other things. Check your company policies.
Pharma. I also get to fly business class when I need to go to Europe for work.
All policies are different but usually it is transportation, accommodations and meals (and things like water. and coffee). If you drive they usually cover mileage. Also they pay for WiFi on the plane if you are working. My company has a per diem for meals around $150 a day. I always have to share receipts and usually load them into a software platform. It can be pretty sweet to travel on an expense account
Jealous we get basically half that for per diem. What company?

Bad news, strippers are generally not reimbursable

It implies there MIGHT be a situation where it’s reimbursable.
I have to include receipts for everything over a certain amount if I want to be reimbursed for it, and classify it (breakfast, lunch, dinner, client entertainment, travel, etc.) I think that's pretty standard. Some companies ask for every single receipt. Our expenses software auto classifies some things for us, and there's an app we can use to scan receipts right away so we don't have to hang onto them but I found it kind of buggy.
UPDATE: Thank you all for your assistance!!! I asked my coworker and he said anything and everything. So I will be doing that!
