INTRODUCING LYFT TEEN

Rides for teens. Designed with parents in mind.

Your teen’s world is expanding. You want them to thrive. And when you can’t be everywhere at once, this is the next best thing.

Strict driver standards

Drivers must meet additional criteria for road and in-car safety, along with yearly background checks. Only experienced, highly rated drivers can give teen rides.

Women+ Connect is enabled for teen riders, which increases the chances that female and nonbinary teens match with women or nonbinary drivers.

Visibility every step of the way

You can request rides for your teen, or they can do it on their own. You’ll get a welcome text from the driver and real-time updates. Plus, you can track trips on a live map right in the app.

Teen safety features

All teen rides are equipped with built-in safety protections like PIN Verification and Smart Trip Check-In. Once your teen allows microphone access, they’ll also have Audio Recording turned on for every ride.
