Why parents choose Lyft Teen

Feb 18, 2026

“Less time in traffic, more time at the dinner table.” 

Parents today are trying to maintain an impossible balance — between the demands of their children, work, and home life — and spending more time than ever behind the wheel. 

Lyft Teen gives teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17 the ability to request rides while parents maintain control through the Lyft app. Teens ride with drivers who meet Lyft’s highest standards: annual background checks, positive passenger feedback, and experience on the road. 

Lyft Teen doesn’t replace parenting — it gives parents time back. And it enables teens to get where they need to go.
