A Drink and Drive service solves a simple problem: you drove to dinner, a party or a bar, you've had a drink, and now both you and your car need to get home. A taxi gets you home but leaves the car behind. A Drink and Drive driver gets you both home.
1. Book in the app
Open the Family Driver app and set your pickup to where your car is: a hotel car park, a street in Kollupitiya, a friend's house. Then set where you're going. Your fare is calculated in the Family Driver app.
You can book right when you're ready to leave, or ahead of time if you know when the event will end, which is a good idea for weddings and big nights out.
2. A verified driver comes to you
A sober, verified driver travels to your pickup point. The app shows you who's coming and when they're close. When they arrive, they'll meet you at your car or at a spot you've agreed, such as the hotel porch.
3. They drive your car home
The driver takes the wheel of your own car and drives you home. You can sit back, and if friends came with you in the same car, the driver can drop them off on the way.
4. Pay and you're done
When you arrive, you pay the fare by cash or card. Your car is parked in your own driveway, so there's nothing to collect the next morning.
Tips for a smooth pickup
- Set the pickup where your car actually is, not where you're sitting. If you parked on a different level or a side street, say so.
- Keep your car keys with you, and check the car is unlocked or ready to go.
- For weddings and late events, book ahead for the time you plan to leave.
- If your group came in two cars, book one driver per car.
