Uber has introduced a new service in India called ‘Uber for Teens’. This service is specially designed for teenagers aged 13 to 17 years.
The goal of this initiative is to ensure the safety of young passengers and provide them with a reliable transportation option.
Uber had been testing this service for a long time, and it has now been launched in 37 cities across India.
Some of these cities include Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Mumbai, Bangalore, Pune, Chennai, Kolkata, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Kochi, Chandigarh, Lucknow, and Bhubaneswar.
What is Uber for Teens and How Does It Work?
Uber for Teens was first launched in the United States in 2023 and later expanded to over 50 countries.
Now, the service is available in India. The company claims that this service is designed to ease parents’ concerns about their child’s safety while traveling.
To ensure security, Uber has added multiple safety features, including:
GPS tracking
Real-time ride monitoring
An in-app emergency button
With these features, parents can track their child’s ride at any time, giving them peace of mind.
Parents also have the option to create a ‘Teens’ account, which allows them to monitor and manage their child’s rides.
How to Book an Uber for Teens
If you want to book a ride for your teenager, follow these simple steps:
Invite your child to join the Uber app using your verified Uber account.
Create a Teens account and link it to your parent account.
Once the account is set up, your teen can start booking rides independently.
Parents will receive notifications for every trip their child takes.
Additionally, parents can request a ride on behalf of their child.
This service ensures that teenagers can travel safely while parents stay informed about their journey in real-time.
