Family Profiles
You can pay for your loved ones and conveniently track their status and ETA when you invite them to join your Family Profile.
Why it's helpful
Register multiple accounts
Your babysitter. Your assistant. Your second cousin. Who you invite to join your Family profile is up to you—as long as they’re at least 18 years old and have an Uber account.
Keep your credit card details
Even though your loved ones can use Family profiles as their payment method, your credit card information is never revealed.
Set monthly spending limits
Take control of your family’s spending by setting individual limits for everyone on your profile (you can adjust anytime). We’ll tell you when their monthly limit is almost up.*
How it works for the Family profile organizer
Add contacts
Go to Account and select Settings in the app. Scroll down and tap Family. Tap Add member and select people from your contact list to send them an invitation to join your profile.
Please note: you must have the latest version of the app to set up a Family profile.
Have loved ones request rides
Once your invitee accepts, they can begin requesting rides from their own phone using the Family profile as their payment method.
Set unique monthly spending limits
You can set a spending limit tailored to each of your added members. Go to Family and select the respective member’s name, then for rides and/or orders, you can set a specific value or choose Unlimited.
Each person’s limit is automatically refreshed every calendar month, and you’re free to adjust it anytime. Unspent money won’t roll over.*
Get billed automatically
The cost of the trip will be billed to the Family profile, and the organizer will receive a receipt for every ride.
To make sure your payment information is up to date, tap Default payment and add a credit card or choose one you already have on file.
