[quote=Anonymous]My DD has used it and has access to our account. It has usually been to get her home (or to a friend's house) safely if it is late and we cannot get her. She doesn't use it often, though, because it can be pricey for the town car and/or SUV. The taxis are less expensive, but not often as available. We use it primarily as a last resort if something comes up that she cannot get a ride. It is nice for her to have the option of a ride without having to worry about needing money in her pocket to pay since it is all done through the account. It's worth giving your kid access to it just in case. I would make sure they understand, though, the costs associated. When you order the car it will give you an estimate on what the ride will cost.

Truthfully, I've been a bit weary of the idea of her riding it alone and prefer if she is with friends (particularly at night), but she has never felt unsafe (and she can be very cautious and easily feel uncomfortable/unsafe in those types of situations). I do like that you get the driver information. As the PP said, it adds a layer of accountability. Granted, my DD didn't start using it until last year as a junior and is a senior now. I'm not so sure how I'd feel about her using it at a younger age.
