As Uber’s services expand across India, it is becoming an integral part of everyday life for families, offering young people a safe and reliable way to travel.
With parents getting more worried about how their teens travel, Uber has launched the ‘Uber for Teens’ service in India for kids between 13 and 17 year old. This service is made to provide safe, secure and easy rides for both teens and their families.
Uber’s new ‘Uber for Teens’ is a great solution for the transportation needs of teenagers and their parents. By focusing on safety, convenience, and giving parents control, Uber gives teens more freedom while making sure parents feel their kids are safe.
The services will soon be available across all of India, making it easier for families to use it for safe transportation for their kids.
Key Features for Parents and teens
‘Uber for Teens’ is currently available in 37 cities, including Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kolkata, and other big cities.
This wide coverage means many teenagers can use the service to travel independently, but parents can still keep an eye on their safety.
To make sure the service is safe for teens, Uber has added some important features:
- Teen GPS tracking: Each ride has a special GPS tracker so parents can see where their teens are at all times.
- Ride updates: Parents get real-time updates and can track the ride on their own Uber app to know what’s happening.
- In-app support button: If there’s a problem, both the teen and the parent can ask for help through the app.
- Parent controls: Parents can book rides for their teens, approve rides, or simply check on the trips their kids take.
How to Book a Ride with Uber for Teens
Booking a ride for teens with Uber is simple. Just follow these steps:
- Parent Sends an Invite: The parent or guardian with a verified Uber account sends an invite to the teenager.
- Teen Registers: The teenager creates their own Uber account and connects it to the parent’s account.
- Teen Can Book Rides: Once connected, the teenager can book their own rides, and the parent will get updates and track the ride in real time.
- Parents Can Book Too: Parents also have the option to book rides directly for their teenager.
