Especially during this time of year, please let someone else do the driving! The Holidays are busy enough with all the upcoming celebrations with colleagues, friends, and family. Here are some tips to help you prepare:
- Whether traveling locally or out of the area - schedule your ride ahead of time! You can choose your pickup date and time along with the location. You will be sent reminders in advance of your pickup.
- You can fare-split if you are sharing your ride with a friend.
- You can also share your status with those you are meeting through these apps. Just look for the “share status” and you can send a map of your route and expected time of arrival.
- If you are hosting out-of-town guests, you can create member profiles in your app and treat your friends and family to a ride.
The Jeeves Law Group wishes you and your family Happy Holidays!
