Designated driving companies provide safe rides home to holiday partygoers in Kelowna
“We pick up people from bars, staff parties and Christmas parties. We drive people and their vehicles and their friends. They’re pretty grateful,” Whitney says.“They’re just happy they’re getting home with their vehicle and not having to taxi back downtown to get their vehicle in the morning.”Whitney’s isn’t the only designated driving company in Kelowna. One of the other services is Gals Designated Drivers.
“We can charge you maybe $50 or $60 and we go home. Whereas the other way around, you get in an accident, you’re dealing with tow trucks, you’re dealing with lawyers. So everybody’s just safer,” says Daniel Samoylove, owner and operator of Gals Designated Drivers. Both companies say the demand is rising for safe driving alternatives across the Okanagan. They recommend booking in advance.
