How Our Flat Fee Pricing Works

Designated Driver is a pickup and drop-off (paratransit) service serving the Pittsburgh area using 8 and 10 passenger stretch Lincoln Town Cars
Call 412-563-2559 for reservations
Reservations must be made 2 hours in advance
Reservation can be made up to 3 months in advance

The farther in advance that you make reservations the more likely it is that you will get the day and time you are looking for. In general it is easier to make last minute reservations on a Thursday and Friday than it is on a Saturday. We suggest making reservations well in advance for a Saturday.

Pricing Drop Down Menu And List Of Designated Territories

The Designated Driver does not rent its vehicles out by the hour, but instead on a per trip basis, saving our customers, in many instances, hundreds of dollars. We are a pickup and drop-off service only and we operate in most areas of Allegheny County.
The price depends on your distance from downtown Pittsburgh. We charge on a per person per trip basis. The farther your area is from downtown Pittsburgh the higher the price per person rate. We charge $5, $8, or $10 per person depending which area you are getting picked up from and going to. Each trip is subject to a price minimum. The farther out from Pittsburgh the higher the minimum price.

There is no minimum number of people that you need to have, there is only a minimum price. For example, if you have 1-5 passengers in our $5 per person areas with a $25 minimum price, the price is $25 + gratuity + $2 gas fee . For every extra person beyond five, add $5 per person. In our $10 per person areas with a $50 if you have 1-5 passengers the price is $50 + gratuity + $2 gas fee. For every extra person beyond five, add $10 per person. Each area may have a different price minimum.

The fee covers one pickup and drop-off only. When you make a reservation we'll ask you where you want to be picked up and where you want to be dropped off (subject to our covered territories). If you want to make a return trip then it will cost another $5,8 or $10 per person and is subject to the minimum charge. You may schedule as many pickups and drop-offs as you would like throughout the evening.

All trips throughout the evening must be pre-scheduled at least two hours in advance by the customer with a dispatcher. Each reservation scheduled is considered a one-way trip only. The farther in advance you schedule a reservation the more likely we will have the reservation times you would like

If you have more than 10 passengers, we will send you multiple vehicles if we have the availability. There is no extra charge for the second vehicle unless your pickup or dropoff location has a stated multiple vehicle minimum. However, there will be a charge of $25 if we send a second car to your group and there are 10 or fewer passengers. This is done to discourage groups from ordering extra vehicles that are not necessary. This applies to all multiple vehicle pickups. Because we have 10 passenger vehilcles the cut off is always a multiple of 10. 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 passengers etc.. You must always cancel your extra vehicles if your group drops below a multiple of 10 or there will be a $25 charge for each extra vehicle not used.
