Designated Driver of Colorado Springs

1. Go to one of our sponsoring locations

admin — Mon, 04 Oct 2010 01:00:35 +0000

Our hours of operation are Thursday thru Saturday from 10 pm to 3 am. Our service is only available for customers of our sponsoring locations. For a complete list of our sponsors, please visit our Food & Drink page. If you have purchased our Gift of Life sponsorship, you do not need to be at a sponsoring location.

The only way we can provide our service is to drive you home in your vehicle. We are not a taxi service, and we do not want to be one. We do not have a taxi license, and that means we cannot transport people in our vehicles. If you do not have your car with you, we cannot give you a ride. Our goal is to reduce or eliminate the amount of alcohol related traffic incidents. If you don’t have a vehicle, you can’t create any kind of traffic incident.

Make sure you have your current proof of insurance in your car. Colorado State Law says that it is the driver’s responsibility to make sure that the vehicle they are driving is insured. Our drivers are not required to drive a vehicle that cannot show current proof of insurance, and if you cannot show current proof you may not get a ride.

2. Call in advance to our office

When you dial 719-650-3450 your call will be answered by our system, which informs you “your call will be answered shortly, so please stay on the line”. You will then be placed in a queue and your call will be answered in the order it was received. Do not hang up and call back, or you may lose your place in line.

3.We come and drive your vehicle to your destination

Please have yourself and all members of your party at your vehicle when our drivers arrive. If you are not ready, you will miss your ride and our drivers will move on to their next ride. You will have to call back when you are ready.

When the drivers get to your car they will ask for your proof of insurance, they will perform a quick inspection of your vehicle, and they will ask for your signature on the inspection. If they cannot fill out their paperwork and get a signature, they cannot give you a ride.

4.We ask to give our volunteer drivers a generous tip

When the ride is over, please consider giving the driver a generous tip. Our drivers are volunteers, and they use their own vehicles. Tips help them pay for fuel & maintenance, and puts a few honest dollars in their pockets. The average tip is $20 and is split between both drivers. If you live a long way from where you drank, we would like to encourage you to consider a little more than the average tip for their time. Remember, they are not delivering a pizza or bringing you a burger, they are driving you AND your car home. A generous tip is far less expensive than a DUI, an accident or worse.
