October is definitely a month that gives us plenty to celebrate. It begins with Thanksgiving tables filled with good food, family, friends and gratitude. Before we know it, pumpkins are transformed into jack-o’-lanterns and Halloween parties are filling the calendar! This year, Thanksgiving weekend runs into Thanksgiving Day on Monday, October 12. The occasion gives Canadians a perfect opportunity to appreciate all those who make life a little easier.
At MyDDride, we are very thankful for our customers.
Every time people trust MyDDride to get them and their vehicles home safely, we take that responsibility seriously. That’s why receiving feedback like our August 2026 review from Cliff Hanselmann means so much to our team. After using MyDDride following a night out, Cliff described his experience as professional, punctual and convenient. Instead of leaving his vehicle overnight or arranging two vehicles, a MyDDride designated driver safely drove him home in his own vehicle, while our support driver followed behind.
As Cliff put it, “the booking process was easy, communication was excellent, and the service was friendly from start to finish.” He also noted that he would use MyDDride again for occasions ranging from dinners and drinks to weddings, concerts and special events. Thank you, Cliff! We would also like to thank every single customer who has trusted MyDDride with a ride home. Your reviews, recommendations and repeat bookings help a local service like ours continue doing what we love. That’s helping people get home comfortably and safely.
Once the Thanksgiving leftovers are packed away, it’s time for Halloween!
Anticipation for October 31st means costume parties, haunted houses, dinners, neighbourhood gatherings and perhaps a few mysterious-looking cocktails. If your Halloween plans involve alcohol, be sure to utilize a sober driver. ICBC recommends planning how you’ll get home before heading out. They specifically identify using a designated driver as one option. ICBC reports that impaired driving is involved in 21% of fatal crashes in B.C., with an average of 65 deaths annually.
Halloween also brings an additional reason for drivers to be cautious. Naturally, we’re talking about streets filled with trick-or-treaters. ICBC advises drivers to reduce their speed, avoid distractions and be particularly alert in residential neighbourhoods. For adults attending Halloween celebrations involving alcohol, the advice is simple. “If your Halloween celebrations are going to involve alcohol, plan your way home before you head out,” insists their website.
Make note of this Halloween “trick”.
Would you like to make your vehicle disappear from a restaurant, party or event and have it magically reappear in your driveway? No broomstick is required. Simply book MyDDride! If your Halloween plans involve celebrating in Vancouver, Burnaby, Surrey, Langley, Maple Ridge, Coquitlam or elsewhere across Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, our designated driving service offers a convenient alternative to leaving your vehicle behind.
Here’s how the trick works. 1. You enjoy the celebration. 2. A professional sober driver drives you home in your vehicle. 3. Our chase car follows behind. 4. Both you and your vehicle arrive home safely. Now, we suppose it’s not much of a trick after all. However, getting home safely is always a treat!
Treat yourself to a safe ride home!
