LOCAL DRIVING SERVICE OFFERS SOMETHING DIFFERENT

     When it comes to finding a personal driver to drive you around, folks in the Union County and surrounding areas now have a new choice. Drive-n-Ride,™ a new local company, promises to provide an “uncompromised, door-to-door, responsible, personal driving experience in the comfort and convenience of your own car.” 

After helping his mother and his aunts drive into New York City on several occasions, local owner, Jeff Stein, recognized a need in the marketplace for this type of service, and has set out to provide a hassle-free one.“Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride,” he says. Our friendly drivers will gladly transport you for a fun night out on the town, the theater, family trips, date nights, girls or guys night out, shopping in NYC, trips to Atlantic City, doctors appointments, errands, therapy sessions - you just name it.”

     Customers simply reserve a driver, who arrives at a pick-up location, and then drives you to where you would like to like to go, waits for you, and then takes you back when you are ready. The community-oriented company uses local drivers who will pick you up, and drive you wherever you wish - any time - in your own car.  According to Stein, their drivers are pre-qualified, referenced, and vetted with a background check, and a review of their driving records. 

     Interestingly, for those who think a taxi, town car, or limousine are too expensive, the service may be a more economical alternative. “We provide you with a safe, friendly, and dependable personal driver at an affordable price. Our driving services are very personalized, and are billed at an hourly rate or at a flat-rate depending uponthe time and particulars, whether it’s a local or long distance drive, Stein continued. This allows you to enjoy yourself without having to worry about finding a parking spot, paying for parking, leaving your vehicle unattended, and most importantly, driving.” 

     A customer, Doug Winters, had called Drive-n-Ride™ to take his elderly friend in Scotch Plains to their house in Montville for Thanksgiving Dinner, and then back home that evening. “Unfortunately, he can no longer drive at night, and we found the service to be just perfect. We actually plan on using them again for an upcoming trade show in Atlantic City, he said.

"Neither rain, nor sleet, nor dark of night will prevent us from arriving early and getting you to where you want to go, quipped Mr. Stein. We are real accommodating, and provide a very personalized service,” Drive-n-Ride™ is available on a first-come, first-served basis - 24/7 - 365 Days A Year. It is recommended that you reserve your driver in advance - as soon as possible - to insure that your important event date can be accommodated. So plan ahead, and let them help get you where you want to go. It just may be a great choice for you.

     Drive-n-Ride™ is always on the lookout for friendly, outgoing, and dependable people with safe driving records to join their team. For more information, and to reserve your driver, call 908.322.5105, and visit Facebook.com/Drive N Ride
