Preventing Impaired Driving Before It Happens.
SafeRide America is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to proactively preventing impaired driving by giving people practical, professional alternatives to getting behind the wheel when they shouldn't.
Our signature designated driver service does something rideshare doesn't: we drive you — and your car — safely home.
Our Driver.
Your Car.
A two-person SafeRide team comes to you. Our professional Lead Driver operates your vehicle while the Chase Driver follows behind.
You, your passengers and your vehicle all arrive together.
A Practical Approach to Impaired-Driving Prevention
SafeRide America was built around a simple idea: preventing impaired driving requires more than telling people not to do it. People need a realistic alternative when they discover they should not drive.
Our designated driver service provides that alternative. Instead of sending another vehicle to pick you up, SafeRide sends a two-person team. A professional SafeRide Lead Driver gets behind the wheel of your vehicle while the Chase Driver follows.
That means no leaving your vehicle overnight, no arranging another trip to retrieve it the next day, and most importantly, no reason to risk driving when you shouldn't.
SafeRide also works with restaurants, bars, venues, festivals, events and community partners to make responsible-driving alternatives part of the plan before an impaired-driving decision occurs.
We bring you a driver.
Our mission is simple: proactively prevent all types of impaired driving.
Mission Supported by Enterprise
SafeRide combines a charitable public-safety mission with earned-revenue services designed around the same goal: giving people practical alternatives to unsafe driving.
The services we provide help financially support the organization while putting impaired-driving prevention into action in the communities we serve.
Designated Driver Service
When you cannot or should not drive, our professional Lead Driver drives you and your vehicle to your destination while the Chase Driver follows behind.

SafeRide America grew from a simple question into a nonprofit model focused on making the safer decision easier to choose.
The Idea
A transportation customer made an unusual request: instead of renting a limousine and driver, could he simply rent the driver? That question planted the seed for a different approach to personal transportation.
Designated Driving in Georgia
The work that would eventually become SafeRide developed through the Georgia Chapter of the National Designated Drivers Association, bringing organized designated-driver service and impaired-driving prevention to the Atlanta area.
Expanding the Mission
The National Council for the Prevention of Impaired Driving broadened the focus beyond providing rides to the larger challenge of proactively preventing impaired driving.
SafeRide America
SafeRide America was established as the nonprofit organization carrying the mission forward through practical driver services, prevention programs and community partnerships.
Prevention in Action
SafeRide continues to combine professional driver services, responsible-hospitality partnerships, volunteer participation, event outreach and technology to help make the safer decision the easier decision.
Built Around Prevention
SafeRide isn't simply another way to get from Point A to Point B. Our model is designed around preventing an unsafe driving decision before it happens.
Prevention, Not Reaction
We want individuals, businesses and event organizers thinking about safe alternatives before someone gets behind the wheel impaired.
We Drive Your Vehicle
SafeRide does not operate like traditional rideshare. Our professional Lead Driver operates the customer's vehicle.
