No more going back and forth from one end of Paris to the other to drop off and pick up a teenager in search of freedom. From now on, it is possible to order a car on Uber via a “teen account”. A new feature designed to allow 13-17 year olds “to go anywhere and get (almost) everything they need”, boasts the application.

Enhanced security
What are the differences with a trip ordered from an ordinary account? “With live security features and real-time tracking, you keep an eye on his movementsfrom pick-up to destination,” explains the VTC company.
Concretely, parents will receive notifications on the progress of the journey and the destination will be locked for the driver. Only the passenger can modify it.
The code NIP et RideCheck will be automatically activated and cannot be removed. Additionally, if for some reason the teen wants to keep track of what's happening in the car, they can enable audio recording.
Uber assures him, “people who drive must first pass a check a thorough history (which they must then repeat each year). » A promise that should appeal to many parents.
In addition to cars, these accounts for teenagers also allow you to order food. Here too, adults will have a right to control the activities of their offspring and foods subject to an age limit such as alcohol and certain medicines will not be able to be purchased.
Please note that all orders placed by a teen profile will be paid by the card registered on the family account.
How to activate this feature?
1. Create a family profile
2. Add one or more teenagers
3. Make sure payment information is up to date
