After you've finished a Lyft ride and added the driver's tip, a receipt is sent to the email address associated with your Lyft account.
However, if you get a lot of emails everyday, these ride receipts can often get lost in the chaos of an overflowing inbox, or Lyft could be sending receipts to an outdated email address of yours.
Whether you're budgeting or filing expense reports for an employer, Lyft ride receipts can easily be re-sent through the app and to your inbox in just a few steps.

The most common problem if you can't find the Lyft ride receipt in your email is, well, your email.
Make sure the ride receipt didn't end up in your spam folder first. If you still can't find the ride receipt, open your Lyft app and go to Menu > Settings > Email Address.
You can make sure the right email address is connected to your Lyft account to ensure you'll receive future ride receipts. You can update or verify your email address in the Lyft app's Settings tab.
If this didn't work, try contacting Lyft.
