Getting your driver's license can be a difficult process. There's all that practice, going out on the road, and figuring out parallel parking, not to mention having to learn how to deal with other drivers. If you or your teen recently took their driver's test and ended up coming away empty-handed without a license, it can be frustrating and demoralizing to have to go through the whole process again. That's why Uber has your back.

As of Jan. 10, Uber is offering free rides for Uber Teen accounts, with up to six rides at up to $20 per ride through March 31. This discount expires 30 days from the day you create your account, and it's only availbale for new Uber Teen users. It doesn't apply to rides requested by adult accounts on behalf of a teen.

This is a great way to help ensure your teen (or you!) has a way to get from point A to point B while waiting in the wings for that coveted license. Though the deal is only good for six rides for a limited time, those expenses can certainly add up, and giving your teens a way to be mobile with safe rides through Uber is still a good idea, especially for members of the family who may not have jobs or have already spent their allowance for the month.

Keep in mind that you'll have to sign them up or have your teen create their own account, so don't just hand over your credentials and leave it at that.
