If you are planning on hitting the rootop bars or other Los Angeles watering holes this weekend and want the security of a designated driver, BeMyDD (Be My Designated Driver) is offering free rides for this Saturday, Sept. 26 to all LA drivers. Los Angeles will be the first city on BeMyDD 24-City Designated Driver Tour launch. The company has partnered with Jack Daniel’s Gentleman Jack Whiskey and Total Wine & More to make sure tipplers get home safe. If you have one too many all you need to do is request a pickup for absolutely no charge from any location within a 50-mile radius from the city center with the BeMyDD smartphone app, available for iOS and Android devices. A team of drivers will be sent to your location to pick you up and drive you home in your own vehicle. Drivers are a fully-screened and insured with more than a decade of professional experience.

The program continues a long-term initiative from BeMyDD to lower the rate of drunk driving deaths and promote social responsibility throughout the 76 markets it serves. The service runs etween the hours of 9 p.m. and 2 a.m. on Sept. 26, on a first-come, first-served basis. As an added bonus, new customers anywhere in the country can get $20 off their first ride on any day by using promo code DDTOUR through the BeMyDD mobile app.

“Social responsibility is a huge priority for us” said Arthur Simanovsky, BeMyDD president and CEO. “We’re always looking for ways to make finding a designated driver easier than getting behind the wheel. The 24-City Designated Driver Tour is our biggest opportunity yet to positively impact communities all over the United States, and we are excited to make Los Angeles an important stop on our tour across the country.” Harrowing statistics from the U.S. Department of Transportation indicate that a drunk driver kills someone every 52 minutes. “The 24-City Designated Driver Tour is an excellent opportunity to promote responsible consumer enjoyment, which is one of our core brand values,” said Marc Hindorff, senior corporate responsibility manager at Jack Daniel’s parent corporation Brown-Forman. “This is a unique campaign that has our full support.” , Matt Indre, Senior Manager of Public Affairs & Corporate Responsibility at Total Wine & More, point out the program’s potential for having a positive impact. “We strive to be a responsible corporate citizen and make a difference in our communities through our corporate philanthropy and social responsibility programs,” he says. “We are committed to responsible enjoyment of alcohol and the 24-City Designated Driver Tour supports that goal.”
