Safe Rides Unlimited: Redefining Non-Profit Impact


Safe Rides Unlimited sets itself apart from other non-profit organizations by adopting a unique approach to achieve our mission of reducing tragic accidents caused by drunk and distracted drivers. We understand the challenge of changing human behavior, especially when alcohol is deeply ingrained in social culture. That's why we've developed an innovative economic model that incentivizes people to choose our luxury transportation services.

By creating an enjoyable and VIP experience, we attract individuals who would otherwise take the risk of driving while intoxicated to get home after a night out. Our goal is to make the evening both fun and safe, building a loyal ridership that appreciates the value of responsible transportation.

It's important to note that our approach differs from other organizations such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD). While MADD focuses on channeling public outrage and driving legislative change, we focus on creating an enticing alternative that resonates with individuals directly. We're also distinct from Alcoholics Anonymous (AA), which primarily supports individuals in their fight against alcoholism.

SafeRides Policy on Alcohol Consumption in Vehicles


As a non-profit organization, we do not encourage drinking in our vehicles for a couple of important reasons. Firstly, our partnerships with clubs require us to ensure that passengers are not intoxicated upon arrival, as this may result in denial of entry. Secondly, our affordable pricing model does not cover frequent professional cleaning costs associated with spills or excessive mess caused by alcohol consumption.

However, we understand that there may be instances where passengers wish to drink during the ride. In such cases, we require customers to accept full responsibility and acknowledge that our promise of free club entry no longer applies. It is important to note that if any passenger vomits or the vehicle is left abnormally dirty, a cleaning charge of $150 will be applied.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to these guidelines. Our goal is to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for all passengers while maintaining the affordability and quality of our services.

Choosing a Specific Vehicle: What You Need to Know


At SafeRides, we understand that our customers may have preferences when it comes to the type of vehicle they ride in. While we strive to fulfill specific vehicle requests, it ultimately depends on availability at the time of booking.

As our service continues to gain popularity, particularly on weekend evenings and in high-demand locations, securing a specific vehicle may not always be guaranteed. However, we do our best to accommodate requests whenever possible.

It's worth noting that we often provide free upgrades to customers when a better vehicle becomes available. However, it's important to keep in mind that upgrades cannot be guaranteed for every ride.

Rest assured, our team is dedicated to providing you with a safe and comfortable ride, and we will make every effort to meet your vehicle preferences based on availability.
