Uber Enhances Teen Ride Features Nationwide

Uber has expanded its teen account program, allowing parents to book rides directly for their teenagers aged 13 to 17 from their own accounts. Initially launched in 14 cities, this feature is now available in over 250 cities across all 50 states, marking Uber as the only ride-hailing service catering to minors. The update introduces additional safety features, including real-time trip tracking and notifications, while also enabling teens to schedule rides up to 90 days in advance. Parents with an Uber One subscription can share benefits like free delivery on Uber Eats with their teens. This move aims to provide clearer guidelines for teen accounts and enhance safety for young riders. With these updates, Uber is responding to feedback from families while addressing the demand for reliable transportation options for teens.
