Double D's

June 19, 2008

Etc

We’ve all been there—a few drinks deep, and walking the decision tightrope on whether to call a cab or drive home yourself. Although you know a cab is the way to go, you don’t want to leave your car downtown—taking the parking ticket off of your car wearing last night’s mascara is no way to start a day. Thanks to Zingo, Austin’s new designated driving service, you don’t have to choose.

The designated drivers from Zingo ride around town on their foldable motorbikes, waiting for a call from those who extended happy hour to happy hours upon hours. For the cost of a $20 pickup fee, and an additional $2/mile, they’ll come to meet you, put their motorbike in your trunk and drive you home safely in YOUR own car.

Simple and safe, these DD’s are better than a DUI any hour of the week.
