Firms Escort Drinkers Home
Chris Hart of Eastpointe enjoyed a romantic Sweetest Day dinner with her boyfriend at an Auburn Hills restaurant without worries about driving home after drinking.
When it was time to call it a night, a chauffeur for the Designate, a Birmingham-based designated driver service, safely drove the pair back to Macomb County inside Hart’s 2008 Chrysler Pacifica. Another chauffeur followed the car and returned the driver to work.
Hart, 42, was pleased she took no chances by arranging a responsible way to get home that night and has since told her friends about the service she learned of from a radio advertisement.
“It’s just peace of mind,” she said of not fearing repercussions for driving under the influence like harming someone or a costly arrest.
Founded in March 2007, the Designate in Oakland County recently announced it is heightening its presence in Macomb County with an increased staff and a staging pod in Fraser. Those changes aim to reduce the wait time for customers without prior reservations just in time for Thanksgiving Eve, one of the biggest bar nights of the year.

Wow! This is cool! People who likes to drink not be worried if they are too drunk because theres a service that can help them go home safely. As we all know, there are lots of accident happen when a driver still drive even if his drunk.
I hope we can also have this kind of service here in our place so that road accident can be minimize.

This is truly a heaven sent service! If they can broaden to many other counties other then those two…this could eliminate so many thing’s such as accidents, deaths, injuries, lost loved one’s, jail time, getting your license revoked, state funded jail’s fee coming out of tax’s and so on.
