Uber Teens

What is Uber Teens?

  • Uber Teens is a new service that allows Teens (ages 13-17) to request Uber rides with the consent of a parent or guardian by inviting teens to a family profile.

  • The legal guardian or parent adds the Teens to the family Uber profile to get started.

  • Teens will have a simplified Uber account and will only be able to request Uber taxi/premium (including Premier Van).

  • For safety, there are safety precautions that allow parents/guardians to track Teens’ rides and ensure that all safety features are available at all times during the ride.

  • Parents can also track the ride live and receive notifications regarding Teens’ ride status.

About the safety features

Parents must agree to allow Teens to request a ride using the Uber platform. Some of the safety features are below.

  • PIN verification: Drivers cannot initiate a ride without a PIN. By verifying the PIN, Teens can ensure that they are in the right vehicle with the right driver.

  • Live Tracking of Ride Status: Parents can track Teens’ rides and confirm that they have arrived at their destination. They also receive notifications when requesting a dispatch, during the ride, and upon arrival.

  • Alerts for unexpected events: Using sensors and GPS data, if it detects that a ride has deviated from its course, made an unexpected stop, or ended earlier than scheduled, a message will be sent to confirm that everything is okay.

  • Audio recording: You can record your voice during the ride. For details, please refer to this page.
