The countdown is nearly on, and like many of you, we’re excited to raise a glass and welcome the New Year tomorrow night! We hope everyone has a fun and festive evening, but now is a good time to consider how you’ll get home after the party; according to Mothers Against Drunk Driving, New Year’s Day is one of the most dangerous of the year for drunk driving on Canada’s roadways.

Here in Red Deer, we’re lucky enough to have several great options for getting home, ensuring a safe start to 2017:

Have you heard of DD Take Home? It’s a designated driving service operating in the Red Deer area with a mission to make the roads safe for citizens and visitors alike. When you book a ride with DD Take Home, a two-person team will make sure that both you AND your vehicle make it home safely. Even if you live a bit further afield in Central Alberta or have a larger party that needs a ride, DD Take Home will do their best to accommodate you, just give them a call. Note DD Take Home is not a taxi service, and you must have a vehicle to be moved in order to use their services.

It’s so easy to book a ride, either call 587-876-4412 or book online at www.DDtakehome.ca

Red Deer Driver Take Home & Delivery also provides a safe, responsible alternative to drinking and driving and eliminates the hassle of picking up your vehicle the next day. They also offer 24/7 food delivery, as well as liquor delivery so you can keep your party going safely!
