Posted — UpdatedA toast to ring in the New Year is a common enough tradition, and for revelers who choose to raise more than one glass, there are several options to avoid driving after drinking. Of course you could always call a cab or designate a driver, but options like Raleigh Rickshaw and Raleigh Zingo offer a creative choice. Both services are already taking reservations.
"On the way home, you just have to pay us to drive you in one direction. To use a cab or to leave your car at home, you have to take a cab twice," Zingo owner Joe Stallworth said.
On a normal night, Zingo drivers respond within 20 minutes. On New Year's Eve, an advance reservation for pick-up is preferred.
