We would need to turn in receipts for travel expenses like Uber to and from hotel to job site etc. Of course the company always took care of the lodging and airfare arrangements. We were able to use our preferred airline and even use our frequent flier miles. I recall also having a say in the hotel choice/location. They did not reimburse for tips for housekeeping.

This.
Our org simplified to receipts only for car, car gas, airfare, hotel and misc reimbursable > $75. Someone finally figured out that chasing and accounting for every receipt wasn't worth the time. We did have to use our own credit card for all charges but air and hotel was all done through a central system. If you chose to go over the limit you'd pay the difference for rooms and get only the lowest fare quote in the system on the day you bought the tix.
It worked far more simply and efficiently than I would have expected from a joint who's motto should be "Making the Simple Nearly Impossible since 1943"
