twitter.com/M2dJ4dox1S — The Matrix (@thematrixloop) April 2, 2025 Uber has integrated several safety features into the ‘Uber for Teens’ service to ensure a secure experience for both teenagers and their parents. A key feature is teen GPS tracking, which allows parents to monitor their child's ride in real time.
Additionally, parents receive unlimited ride access through their own app, providing real-time updates on their teen's journey for added peace of mind. The service also includes an in-app support button, enabling both teens and parents to seek immediate assistance if needed. Moreover, parental controls give guardians the ability to approve or book rides for their teens while keeping track of all trips taken.
These measures reinforce Uber’s commitment to making teenage transportation both safe and convenient. How to Book an Uber for Teens Ride: Parents or guardians with a verified Uber account can invite their teen to join the app. The teen sets up their account and adds their parent or guardian as a contact.
Once the setup is complete, the teen can start requesting rides immediately. Parents receive real-time notifications about their teen’s trips through the Uber app. Guardians also have the option to book rides on behalf of their teen, which will appear in the teen’s account.
