The driver did what he or she had to do. gas, and a possible good ride with someone that tips.
I know people that do it, I don't like it, but I have to remember it isn't my child, and hope that nothing bad happens.Your post is refreshing in midst of everyone only focusing on law, liability, insurance, etc.
I don't see the problem with giving teenagers rides. It's probably safer than them driving themselves at this point (for them and those of us on the road!).
You are allowed to drive a person with his or her consent. At this age, they are actually either learning to or already driving themselves and eligible for an ID card to prove their age. Parents driving to a sport practice and waiting for 90 minutes and driving back. Good call. I can get on board with this. No, not allowed by Uber or Lyft. Our Support team is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. More on the terms below.Per Uber's terms of service, there are two aspects that prohibit minors, children under the age 18, from utilizing their service. You cannot call an Uber or Lyft for your teenagers under 18, as they are not allowed to ride unless they are accompanied by an adult. I get it.
Driving 15 minutes to pick up someone and finding out it is a minor late for school, then having to deny the trip. And I’d say why not Uber.
However, I do see your argument.
Here's a breakdown of our policies around the different uses for Lyft.Your driver will be more than happy to drive you and your friends in an original Lyft.
Bringing friends; Requesting for friends; Children 17 and under; Pets & service animals; Running errands; Wheelchairs; Bringing friends.
Simple.Nope, in the event of an accident, if the driver is not following the TOS, who do you think is now responsible for damages? If the minor is in an area that is dark or secluded and leaving them there might put them at risk, I will accept the fare. Nothing worse then driving 10/20 min to pick up a rider only to find a minor (late at night in a dark or bad are) or parent with no car seat (at an airport or a parent leaving the ER with a sick child). They came all the way to the gate and got picked up at the gate.
I often tell them no and cancel. We live in a society where the evil is gaining power over the good and I trust no one with my children whom I do not not know personally.
I think we should petition it. You also have responsibilities when you are transporting a minor in your care.That is just too creepy. or keep it simple and make it 16, like it is in most states.This is indeed a rampant problem. Not saying its right or a good idea but a drivers gotta make money.The problem about kids is that they don't even have IDs.It's all fun and games until some kid gets abducted or whatever.I'll let me 17 year old son use it to get home from soccer practice, maybe its not "allowed" but we have never had a problem. I'm an Uber & Lyft driver I'll accept everyone of the stupid parents ride requests they should read the terms for riders, so when their kid can't provide id showing they're 18 I'll get the cancellation fee every time. The rules are actually different for each company: Uber – Account holders must be 18 or over and CANNOT request a ride for riders under 18 unless accompanied by the account holder making the request. You are so right. Are your kids over 18? Uber doesn't check this as part of the background check. Usually it's because they were 16/17 and I didnt know it.
