In a perfect world, women and others would not have to worry about safety tips to take an Uber alone; however, sexual assaults and other violence still happens. There are some key red flags to look out for when taking an Uber, according to two rideshare drivers who talked to Huffington Post reporters.
Can you be 16 in a Lyft?
Passengers must be at least 18 years old to sign up for a Lyft account, including Lyft Family accounts. We don't allow passengers under the age of 18 to take Lyfts without an adult. If a driver believes a passenger might be underage, the driver may ask the passenger to confirm their age.
How do I schedule an Uber for my family?
Open the Uber app on your device. Tap on the "Where to?" field and enter the pickup location and destination for the ride. Tap on the "Schedule a ride" button. Select the date and time you want the ride to occur.
Can a 15 year old ride Uber alone?
Can a 13 year old go in a Uber alone?
Yes. When a trip request comes from a teen account: The teen is allowed to bring other riders with them, but those other riders must be 13 years old or older. Guest riders aged 13 to 17 must have permission from a parent or legal guardian.
Can you request a girl Uber?
In the high-tech world that offers you the opportunity to hail a ride through an app on your mobile phone, you might think it's easy to choose whether you would like a man or a woman driver. Not so fast — neither Uber nor Lyft offer you the choice to choose the sex of your driver.
Why did Uber ask for a selfie?
We may ask you to take a real-time photo of yourself via the app before you go online or between deliveries. This is to help us verify that the account is yours, and is being used by you or an appointed substitute.
