Doesn't pay much, but it's fun and it provides a public service by helping to keep impaired drivers off the Anchorage streets.

WE’RE YOUR RIDE HOME

We know you don't really want to be the DD when all your friends are having fun.  You’ve got the common sense not to drive if you are impaired, and we know you don't want to have to find a ride to go back for your car the next day, hoping that it hasn't been towed, ticketed or trashed.

WE DRIVE YOUR CAR

When you call, we send a driver. You ride as a passenger in your own car, and we get both you and your car home, safely and affordably.  We follow with a chase car to pickup the driver.

FRIENDS HELPING FRIENDS

DDA started out as friends helping friends, and that’s how we think of ourselves today.  Our rates are affordable –not much more than the cost of a taxi.  (Even less, if you consider the cab fare to go retrieve your car the next day!)  We keep you safe and out of jail, and your car is waiting for you at home after you’ve had a good night’s sleep.

HOURS

Our regular dispatch hours are Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings from 9:00 PM until 3:00 AM.  Please call to arrange for your ride at least 30 to 60 minutes prior to your desired pickup time.  Our drivers are standing by during these hours, however requests without reservations are handled on a first-come/first-served basis.  Keep in mind that our busiest times are generally between 1 and 3 AM.  We recommend that you avoid the wait by scheduling in advance.

Need a ride on some other day or time outside of our regular dispatch hours?  No problem!  Simply contact us to arrange for the ride earlier in the afternoon, or even the day before, and we can usually accommodate your needs.

$22,000

According to the State of Alaska, by the time you pay fines, attorneys, jail, SR-22, ignition interlock device and everything else, the overall cost of the average first-time DUI in Alaska is a whopping $22,000. Don’t forget about the 10 points on your license and the fact that the DUI will stay on your record forever. 

$40

The fee for a Designated Driver to take you home in the Anchorage area is only $40.  Reasonable surcharges apply for distances greater than 10 miles from the point of pick-up, or for additional passenger drop-offs.

DO THE MATH

You could hire a Designated Driver once a week, every week for the next ten years for less money than you would have to spend on a single DUI. Don’t become a statistic.

Drink and drive...?

It’s not worth it. 

Don’t risk it.
