Parents or guardians can easily invite their teens, aged 13-17, to create a dedicated Uber account through the Family Profile feature on the Uber app. Upon receiving the invitation, teens can download the app, set up their account, and complete the necessary safety procedures. Once onboarded, teens can independently request rides for their journeys.

Safety is paramount with Uber Teens Accounts. Parents receive real-time updates and live trip tracking whenever their teens request a ride. They stay informed about the driver’s details, car information, and destination, ensuring peace of mind throughout the journey.
Additional Safety Measures
Before commencing the ride, a PIN verification process adds an extra layer of security. Teens must provide a unique PIN to their driver before starting the trip, ensuring they board the correct vehicle with the right driver.
Utilizing RideCheck for Enhanced Security
Uber incorporates RideCheck technology to monitor trips more closely. Using sensors and GPS data, RideCheck detects any deviations from the planned route, unexpected stops, or early trip endings, ensuring the safety of teenage passengers.

With the launch of Uber Teens Accounts, Uber prioritizes safety and convenience for teenage riders and their families. By incorporating robust safety features, real-time tracking, and parental oversight, Uber ensures a secure and reliable transportation experience for teens across the region.
