Planning for New Years, Cabs and Limos To Get You Home Safe

If you plan to party hearty this New Year's Eve, you might want to call ahead to reserve a cab.

If you plan to party with a group of friends, now is the time to call and reserve a limo.

"Everybody remembers on the day after Christmas," Angela Stevens, manager of Dream Limousine in Brandon.

Residents who have had a bit too much to drink and can't drive themselves home can contact Dream Limousine at 813-662-7300 if you're headed up to Tampa to celebrate.

Sarasota residents who find themselves in a fix after drinking too much can still contact Yellow Cab of Sarasota, 2011 Cornell St, at (855) 798-8837.

Courtesy Cab & Executive Sedan will offer limos and passenger vans for New Year's Eve. Call 800-700-1970.

If you'd rather not leave your car behind, the AAA "Tow To Go" program will tow revelers home even if they aren’t enrolled.

The service, run by AAA Auto Club South in partnership with Budweiser, is a free — and confidential — service for members and nonmembers alike. Call: 1-800-222-4357 (AAA-HELP).

Since 1998, "Tow To Go" has removed 11,650 drunk drivers from the roads, according to the AAA website.
