The holidays are a time for celebration, and if your festivities include alcohol, securing a safe ride home is the most important decision you’ll make all night. Never rely on the hope that you’ll feel “okay to drive” later; make a firm commitment to use a ride-share service or taxi before your first drink. The best practice is to pre-book or pre-stage your ride—download the apps, check for surge pricing estimates, and verify that your payment method is active well ahead of time. This preparedness eliminates the stress and fumbling that can happen late in the evening. Furthermore, always double-check the license plate and driver’s name displayed in the app before getting into any vehicle to ensure you are entering the correct ride, a small step that greatly enhances your safety.
In addition to planning the logistics, be a proactive passenger for both safety and courtesy. If you’re riding with a group, consolidate your pick-up point to one easy-to-find location, rather than having the driver navigate multiple addresses. When demand is high (like midnight on New Year’s Eve), use the ride-share’s scheduled ride feature for better predictability, or be prepared to wait slightly longer than usual. For taxis, always confirm the fare or rate structure before the ride begins. Most importantly, be courteous and respectful to your driver, especially during the hectic holiday season—a quick thank you and a thoughtful tip are always appreciated, making you a great patron and ensuring reliable service for future riders.
