North County Business Spreading $10,000 of Holiday Cheer with Free Cab Rides

This holiday season Charlie’s Cab Card is making merry by giving away over $10,000 in free $25 cab rides on December 20 and 21. Charlie’s has teamed up with select North County San Diego taxis, restaurants and bars to provide the cab cards on two nights with their “Come On and Get A Free Ride” holiday campaign. Charlie’s Cab Card encourages having fun and getting home safe by providing alternatives to driving after drinking. Consumers will be able to use the cards December 20, 2013 through midnight January 5, 2014.

The program launches at partnering establishments in Del Mar, Solana Beach, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, and Encinitas including Jimmy O’s, Red Tracton, Saddle Bar, Tidewater, Beachside Bar & Grill, D Street Bar & Grill, Shelter, Saloon, Union Kitchen and Tap, The Kraken and others. The cab cards are valid with the following participating cab companies: Swami’s, So Cal Taxi, Philsride.com, and Jimmy Drive Me.

“Charlie’s Girls” will be hitting the participating locations over the two nights and customers will have a chance to score one of the 500 cab cards being handed out. Charlie’s Girls will be posting and tweeting their locations throughout the evenings along with real-time reminders to have fun – and get home safe.
