Parents can invite their teen to create a specialised Uber account through their family profileThe e-hailing company said parents and guardians can now invite their teens to create a specialised Uber account that will allow them to request their own rides with parental supervision and keywill receive a link to download the app, create their new teen account, and complete the mandatory safety onboarding process. After that, teens can start requesting trips on their own.
Kagiso Khaole, General Manager, Uber Sub-Saharan Africa said teen accounts are built with transparency in mind so that there are no surprises for parents, teens, or drivers. “Whether their teen is getting a ride to an internship or heading home after football practice, parents will receive real-time notifications and can follow along with live trip tracking every step of the way. We’re committed to helping keep teens safe and getting families moving.
To help keep parents in the know, they can follow along in the app with real-time updates and live trip tracking whenever their teen requests a ride. Additionally, for teen trips, parents will receive the driver’s name, vehicle information, and requested drop-off location so they know exactly where their teen is going and who is behind the wheel.Before a teen gets in the car for a trip, they’ll be prompted to give their driver a unique PIN. Drivers will not be able to start the trip until they enter the correct code into their app, providing an extra layer of protection to ensure teens get into the right car with the right driver.
