Join us in showing graduates that this season they have the choice and the opportunity to get themselves and their car home safely.

Responsible Choice is Ottawa's only personal chauffeur service that drives you AND your car home. Although we have driven hundreds of customer's home safely over the past two years, we still feel there is more we can do! Many of us have heard through the media what can happen when wrong decisions and bad choices are made. Our goal is to be another alternative to get graduates home safely.

At Responsible Choice, we strongly recommend planning in advance; however, any grad who has signed up at www.oncallforthegrads.com will have the ability to call in for a last minute chauffeur on a first come first served basis. We are On Call for our Grads!
