Get In On The Ground Floor, And Consider A Driver's Choice Expansion Opportunity!

No expensive Franchise fees or Royalties

Driver's Choice does not offer Franchises, we offer business opportunities. Unlike franchises where you have to buy a franchise location, when opening a Driver's Choice location the only investment required is your start up costs.

Driver's Choice has been operating a designated driving service in Calgary since 1999. At that time we started developing software to give our company a competitive edge as we believed the Designated Driving business was an up and coming industry. where it was only matter of time before a number of companies would try to break into the business, not only in Calgary but in other cities as well. This in fact has happened, although many of these companies were not able to stay in business. The combination of our business plan and software has proven to be very successful. This expertise was designed with expansion in mind and will ensure the success of all expansion locations.

We all know drinking and driving is a world wide problem causing thousands of injuries and deaths every year. The internet is full of organizations promoting Designated Driving programs, most are volunteer organizations trying to make the roads a safer place for all to travel. The biggest problem is always staffing. Vehicles cost a lot of money to run these days, gas, tires, repairs, oil changes and insurance just to mention a few expenses all vehicle owners are familiar with. Any vehicle used in the Designated Driving industry will face increased mileage leading to increased cost of operation. The best solution to this problem is to ensure a profitable environment for those doing the designated driving, just like every other successful industry, profitability is the bottom line. If we are profitable we can make our roads safer. We can't count the lives we've saved in Calgary and you can save lives in your community too.

The Driver's Choice Advantage

We at Driver's Choice have developed a central dispatch system that is capable of receiving calls and dispatching calls from anywhere in Canada. This advantage is huge for any dispatch orientated business which is exactly what makes the Designated Driving business operate. This eliminates the high cost and hassels of running an office, no expenses for rent, leasehold improvements, office furnishings, office equipment & supplies, labour, heat bills, power bills, business phone bills and property taxes, etc. These savings create an excellent business environment by keeping your overhead low. With no monthly office expenses and no office staff requiring training and supervision, you will have more time to concentrate on marketing your business, which is what every business requires to be successful.

Whether you are:

An individual looking for the gratification of self employment

A Charitable Organization looking for a means of raising funds for your cause

Driver's Choice could be exactly what you have been looking for!
