TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) - New Year's Eve and New Year's Day are considered one of the most dangerous holidays of the year. Law enforcement will be out tonight looking for drunk drivers.
To avoid a DUI and keep roads safe this holiday we examined how much it costs to hail a ride in Pima County.
A 16-mile trip is about $32 with VIP Taxi.
Flag drop - $2.75
Each additional mile - $1.95 per mile
Coupons - 10 + $2 off | 25 + -- $5 off

$1.55 Trust and Service Fee
Round trip fare with Uber is just under $31.

However, to meet the holiday demand, riders with Uber can expect double or triple the costs during peak hours.
Lyft caps the amount at 2 times the standard fare.
Still a bargain, considering the alternative- legal fees and possible jail time.
