Rossen Reports: Uber Teen unveils new spending limits set by parents
Uber lifted the age restriction for kids to catch a ride or get food delivered by letting parents create for their kids ages 13 to 17 last year. Now, Uber is launching a new feature: monthly spending limits. As the parent, you can set a custom budget for their rides and meals individually that renews every month. Parents will also get notified when their limit is almost up and reached. This is all on top of the safety feature that lets you track your teen from pickup to drop-off in real time.
If you鈥檙e interested in setting up an account for your teen, head to the Uber app and click on 鈥淎ccount鈥� in the bottom corner and then 鈥淔amily and Teens鈥�.
Uber Teen is available in a bunch of across the country and expanding constantly. If you don鈥檛 see the option on your Uber app, it might not be available in your city yet, but to request the feature in your area.
