Still trying to figure out what to do for New Year’s Eve? If you’re looking to be a part of the crowd, here is some data from Lyft on New Year’s Eve hot spots in the Valley.

While top New Year’s Eve destinations in  Phoenix include places like the Crescent Ballroom, El Hefe, and Maya Day & Nightclub – over 38 people rang in 2018 from the back of a Lyft ride. To kick off 2019, Lyft is reminding riders to plan ahead so they can focus on celebrating, not worrying about parking and know they have a smart, responsible ride home. 

Last year, Phoenix came out on top and gave some of the most rides on NYE. Here are some other highlights from NYE 2017:

Top destinations:

• Crescent Ballroom

• Maya Day & Nightclub

• Talking Stick Resort

• El Hefe

• Charlie’s

• Bottled Blonde

The peak time for rides: 12:00 AM

The most popular neighborhood for pickups and drop-offs: Mill Ave

Top 2018 destination: Phoenix Sky Harbor

“New Year’s Eve is a big night for both riders and drivers in Phoenix. We encourage Lyft riders to ride smart and plan ahead for a responsible ride home when ringing in 2019 with friends and family,” said Drena Kusari, SW General Manager for Lyft, who was named one of Az Business magazine’s Most Influential Women of 2018. “We’ll also be there all night to support drivers on the road who want to take advantage of this additional earning opportunity.”

The holidays are also an opportunity for drivers to earn extra cash – whether that’s to pay for travel or gifts – and good options for people who enjoy the flexibility to control their own hours, which isn’t available with other types of work. In December 2017, Lyft drivers earned nearly $30M in tips alone in 2017, a 120% increase from the year before. 

In Phoenix, Lyft is also working with the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office, Banner Health, and iHeart Media to offer discounted rides on NYE. First-time users who download the Lyft app can get $5 off their first 4 rides with the promo code “JOY.” Those who already have the Lyft app can enter the code “JOY18” to receive 20% off 2 rides until January 2, 2019, allowing for safe rides throughout the season.
