Uber and Lyft’s minor policy

It is against Uber and Lyft’s Terms of Service for drivers to give a ride to anyone who is under the age of 18 that is not unaccompanied by an adult, and in some States, it is against the law. Drivers do have the right to ask for ID if we feel you look underage.

However, we understand for single parents, or for households where both parents work this is the easiest way to get your kid to and from wherever they need to go. However, we are not the answer, and if a driver should decide to take the trip, they risk losing their job. Even worse getting arrested depending on where they live.

Down below is Lyft and Ubers minor policy

Lyft

Unaccompanied minors are prohibited from traveling with most carriers, including TNCs. A passenger must be 18 to sign up for a Lyft account, but if a driver believes a passenger might be underage, the driver may ask the passenger to confirm their age.
