Uber rider age requirements

Minimum age

  • For safety reasons, riders must be at least 18 years old to create their own Uber account.
  • A programme available in selected cities allows teenagers aged 13–17 to ride unaccompanied with a parent or guardian's permission.
  • Through Uber for teens, minors can request trips using a teenager account linked to a family profile.
  • For details on how to identify an Uber for teens trip, visit Uber for teens FAQ.
  • Unless the offer card indicates an Uber for teens trip, anyone under 18 must ride with an adult at all times.

If you suspect a rider is underage

  • Politely ask them to show a driving licence or ID card to confirm their age.
  • You have the option to cancel the trip if you believe the rider is underage (select unaccompanied minor as the cancellation reason and potentially receive a cancellation fee).
