Know how you’ll get home – before you even set out

A great night deserves a great ending. If you’re planning a night out, don’t forget to work out your journey back too. Then you can relax, knowing you’ve got it covered. Check out transport, get the local taxi number, have a designated driver… the Champion’s way is never to leave it to chance.

Arrive in style - leave in style

Everyone’s heard stories of people missing the last train home, or leaving a bar late only to find every taxi is taken. It’s times like these people wished they had planned their route home in advance. A Champion never gets caught out, so make a note of these useful tips.

Be a Champion host and offer food

The perfect host

Planning a house or dinner party? Think of how your guests will get home. Have a list of local taxi companies to hand, or if you’re really organised, send them to your guests in advance.

Visit our Friends section for more tips on being a great Champion host.

Book taxis in advance to get guests home safe

Book in advance

Going out for the night? How are you going to get back? Book a taxi in advance, or put some local taxi numbers in your phone and call them when you’re ready to leave.

Check public transport routes in advance

Public transport

If you’re relying on public transport to get home, it makes sense to visit the relevant websites and either print out routes and timetables, or save the customer service numbers to your mobile phone.

Designated driver

Going out as a group? Why don’t you agree amongst yourselves for someone to be designated driver and make sure you spoil them once you’re out. For their role in getting everyone home safe, don’t forget to pitch in for their non-alcoholic drinks or let them have first choice on the venue.

The ultimate designated driver

As our first Global Social Responsibility Ambassador, Michael Schumacher helped Bacardi Limited spread the message that drinking and driving don’t mix. When it comes to designated drivers they don’t come any better than the 7-Times Formula 1™ World Champion. See how he performed in our two films.
