If you’re celebrating Nochebuena on Dec. 24 and get just a little too merry, you can get a free Uber ride.

To help prevent disorderly driving, Miami law firm Amanda Damanda Law Group is offering $15 vouchers for eligible riders. The firm is paying for the rides as part of a community safety initiative.

“Our community’s well-being is at the heart of everything we do,” founder Amanda Damanda said in a statement. “This campaign is about celebrating responsibly and making sure the holidays remain a joyful, safe time for everyone.”

A thousand free Uber vouchers of up to $15 in value are available for one-way rides to users 21 and older. The availability of the vouchers is first-come, first served.

Here’s how to get your Uber voucher:

Apply for your voucher

Applicants can receive up to one voucher via an online application. The application asks for a rider’s full name, email and phone number.

Riders can apply in English at https://www.callamandademanda.com/nochebuena/ or in Spanish at https://www.callamandademanda.com/es/nochebuena/.

Receive your voucher via email

Once selected, eligible riders will get a link via email to automatically load the voucher into their Uber app.

When you can take your free Uber ride

Riders can apply the voucher to Uber rides in Miami-Dade or Broward counties from 5 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 24 to 5 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 25.

Need a free tow?

AAA is also in the holiday spirit. The auto club is offering its Tow To Go program Dec. 24 to Jan, 2. By caling 855-2-TOW-2-GO, intoxicated drivers can get a confidential, free tow home within 10 miles. Drivers don’t need to be AAA members to take advantage of the program.
