Adding a Reference, Cost Centre or PO Number to Your Receipt
Updated 3 min read
If you've ever had an expense claim bounced back by finance because a receipt was missing a cost centre or a purchase order number, you'll know it's a genuinely frustrating way to lose an afternoon over a taxi ride. Getting this right before you travel, rather than fixing it after the fact, saves everyone the back-and-forth.
Here's what the company receipt is built to carry, and what to do if your finance team needs something specific it doesn't cover by default.
What the company receipt shows
Booking with the company option preselected gives you a receipt made out to a company rather than a private individual, showing the price and the VAT line separately — the core information most finance teams need to process a business travel expense.
Beyond that core information, exactly which additional fields the booking form lets you enter — a specific cost centre, project code or PO number — is worth checking directly against the current booking flow, since these details are exactly the kind of thing that can be added to a form over time. If a field for what you need isn't there yet, don't assume it can't be handled another way.
If your reference is mandatory and there's no field for it
Contact us directly, before or after booking, with the reference your finance team requires — we'll do what we can to have it reflected on the receipt or paperwork you receive, even where the online form itself doesn't have a dedicated field.
It's worth raising this as early as possible, ideally when you book rather than after the trip, so there's time to sort it out properly rather than trying to retrofit a reference onto a receipt that's already been issued.
Making the process smoother for regular business travel
If your company books transfers with us regularly and always needs the same kind of reference, tell us that pattern directly — it's easier for us to accommodate a known, recurring requirement than to solve it fresh on every individual trip.
Whatever the specifics, the underlying facts stay constant regardless of what reference is attached: one fixed price for the whole car, 6% VAT shown separately, and a receipt you can rely on for your own records.
What every Förare booking includes
The fixed price you see before booking is the price on your receipt — 6% VAT included, whole car, not per person.
- Flight tracked — pickup follows your live arrival
- 45 minutes free waiting, from your driver's confirmed arrival
- No terminal fee
- No surge pricing, ever
- Free cancellation up to 12 hours
Questions people ask before booking
Can I add a cost centre or PO number when I book?
Check the current booking form for a dedicated field, since what it captures can change over time. If what you need isn't there, contact us directly and we'll do what we can to accommodate it.
What does the company receipt include by default?
It's made out to a company rather than a private individual, with the price and the VAT line shown separately — the core information most finance teams need.
What if finance rejects the receipt without my project code on it?
Contact us with the specific reference required and we'll do what we can to help, even outside the standard booking form fields.
Is there a way to set this up once for regular company travel?
Tell us about a recurring requirement directly — it's easier to accommodate a known pattern for repeat travel than to solve it individually each time.
Does adding a reference change the price or the VAT shown?
No — the price and VAT line are unaffected by any reference or cost centre information added to the receipt.
