Safe Driver
An ironically titled thread for Dubai but I was wondering who knows about or has ever used this service?
http://www.saferdriver.ae/
I'm not averse to dumping the car and taking a taxi but not having to go and fetch it in the morning would be a bonus, especially if you've got a hangover!

good idea though, hope it takes off, however, knowing the standard of driving here in the dusty city, i'm not sure whether i'd want any tom, dick or harry (translate as needs be) driving my prized lambo around.
if I had one!

Re: Safe Driver
Yeah, someone was trying it in Newcastle, I think they had little fold up scooters that would go in your boot and get them to the next job.
Nice idea if the price is right, a 10 minute journey in Newcastle to collect the car is no bother, getting across Dubai the next day would make it more appealing...

Re: Safe Driver
oh I used to use a similar service in London - was called Scooterman, and was the best idea ever. They did have tiny scooters - which even fitted into my tiny boot - and the guys didn't seem to mind when you talked cr*p all the way home!

Re: Safe Driver
My thoughts exactly.
There should be a caveat.
ARRIVE ALIVE*
*Subject to the behaviour of Loonies in Landcruisers, Tossers in Trucks, Bastards in Buses, Morons in Mercs and Dickheads in Discoveries. Your life may be at risk if you need to go on the SZR.
