A visitor to the Arrive Alive Website raised this request:
Question
“There is a company called Goodfella’s that offer a chauffeur service when you’re out drinking. They drive to you and drive you home in your own car. Do you know of any other companies that offer this service in Cape Town?”
We raised this with our friends at SAB and promptly received a response with important information:
