| Q. Are you
guys for real? |
| A. Yes, we
are for real. We will drive you AND your car home for FREE! We do
encourage tips for our drivers, that helps them pay for gas and
earn an honest living. |
| Q. Why do
you do it for free? |
| A. We want
to take away reasons that make people decide to drive when they have
been drinking. Paying money for a service to get them AND their car home
would be expensive. Cab fare is also expensive, especially when you have
to take a cab to get your car in the morning. If you eliminate the cost
of a cab, the hassle of getting your car the next day, and the worry of
leaving your car unattended, people would be more likely to make the
right decision. |
| Q. How can
you do it for free? |
| A. We are
counting on the community to support us. The money we receive from our
sponsors will be used to pay employees and operating expenses. The more
sponsors we receive, the more people we can employ, and the bigger our service can grow. |
| Q. How much
should I tip the drivers? |
| A. You give
what you want, what you feel is fair for the distance they drove you. We
can say the average tip is $20, although a tip is not required to get a
ride. We just encourage that you do, because our drivers pay for their
own fuel & maintenance. |
| Q. Is my
sponsorship tax deductible? |
| A. Yes, your
business can deduct your sponsorship as an advertising expense. Once we
complete our transition to a Non-Profit, your sponsorship now becomes a
charitable donation. Not only
do you help save lives and careers, you get great advertising AND you
get to write it off at the end of the year. |
| Q. My
business can't do a sponsorship, how else can I help? |
| A. There are
many ways you can help. We need volunteers willing to drive for
gratuities. We need hats
and jackets with our logos embroidered and/or screened. We need items
donated for silent auctions. We need tires. Eventually we will need
vehicles.
There are many things we can use, what do you have? We'll even put an ad on our website in exchange for your goods or
services. |
| Q. Do I have
to be at one of your sponsors to get a ride? |
| A. Yes, you
have to be at one of our sponsors locations to get a ride. Our sponsors
are paying for the service to be available to their customers. If you
purchase a personal sponsorship, we will pick you up anywhere. |
| Q. Will you
drive someone home if they do NOT have a car? |
| A.
Unfortunately we can not give rides to someone if they do not have a
car. We are not licensed as a taxi, so legally we cannot
give rides to people in our vehicles. Out of professional courtesy to our local taxi
company, we will not engage in transporting people. Our objective is to
eliminate alcohol related traffic incidents, and people without cars
don't create traffic incidents. |
| Q. I have a
car, but I also have passengers. Will you take them home too? |
| A. It would
be helpful to us and all our customers if we only made one stop. This
way our drivers would be available sooner, and other customers don't
have to wait as long for their ride. However, we
will take your passengers home as well if they are not able to stay at
the final destination. We would like to encourage larger tips for the
drivers when they spend more time helping you get home safe. |
| Q. What if
someone is too drunk to function, will you take them home? |
| A. People
need to be coherent enough to give us their address and stay awake until
they get home. If they are not coherent, we will not take them home
unless they have someone that IS coherent with them, and that someone
will assume responsibility for them. They would need to get their friend
in and out of the vehicle as well as inside their destination. |
| Q. Does my
car have to be insured and registered? |
| A. Yes, your
car has to have current registration AND proof of insurance before we
can drive it. If it does not have current registration or insurance, you
need to call a taxi. Colorado state law prohibits anyone from driving a
vehicle without current registration and insurance. We can't break the law to perform our service. |
