Today is Friday, September, 29th 2023:

We are a fully Licensed Designated Drivers Service and here is How It Works:

A team of two drivers picks up a client that has already driven their own car to their event. The lead driver will drive the client and their guests in their own car to a destination of choice as the partner follows in what we call the chase car. NOTE:  we are not permitted to drive any guests in the Chase Car.

Our Current Hours of Operation:

Sunday thru Thursday(CLOSED)- OR by special appointment.

Fri. & Sat. (open from 5:00 pm to 3:00 AM)

The closing times will be based on volume and/or current weather conditions.

WAITING TIME:

On the night of your reservation, Please keep an eye on your phone, Our Driver will be calling and/or texting you prior to your requested pick up time to confirm your ride and to give you an ETA. They must make direct contact with you to confirm your order. Please do not let it go to Voice Mail. They will wait only 10 minutes for you to respond to their call.  Also once they arrive Our standard wait time is also 10 minutes so we ask that you be ready when they arrive. If we are not able to confirm your ride directly with you or if a wait time exceeds 10 minutes your order will be placed on HOLD and they will leave to move onto their next client. You will be notified by text if this should occur. You can call us (705-794-1133) to reactivate our order when you are ready. Please never call our driver direct as they will be driving, and you may put them and others at risk!
