The Nickel Ride, a new, eco-friendly, fun and free taxi service has come to South Cape!
Starting December 1st, the fastest growing transportation solution began servicing South Cape Coral.
What sets The Nickel Ride apart is that every single ride is 100% free and eco-friendly. People can request a ride by calling 855-WE-R-FREE (855-937-3766) and get whisked away on an all-electric Polaris Gem car in minutes. Available year round, every vehicle in The Nickel Ride fleet accommodates up to 5 passengers and ensures efficient and effortless pick-up and drop-off.
The Nickel Ride will move the masses within the Cape Coral Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) boundary that stretches Cape Coral Parkway to the bridge, from Palm Tree Boulevard to Del Prado Boulevard, SE 46th Lane and south to Miromar Street, as well as portions of Coronado Parkway and down to the Cape Coral Yacht Club, as well as up to the old golf course.
The rapid success and expansion of The Nickel Ride can be attributed to its innovative business plan that aims to involve the local business community and the unique in-vehicle experience provided by highly vetted brand ambassador drivers that act as friendly experts and local guides to every person that hails a ride.
The South Cape Hospitality & Entertainment Association (SCHEA) has been highly supportive and has provided a means of communication and collaboration between local businesses and The Nickel Ride. Additionally, Cape Coral officials have also been very forward thinking and receptive to the new service.
“The Nickel Ride coming to South Cape was born out of a necessity that has transpired from the years of sustained growth the South Cape and surrounding areas has seen,” said Nickel Ride founder and CEO Judah Longgrear.
“With nearly 65 businesses in the South Cape, we feel there is a great opportunity to provide an alternative solution for guests and tourists experiencing the city,” said Longgrear.
The Nickel Ride encourages you to join them for a ride, and ask friends and family to experience The Nickel Ride. Every ride supports the mission to encourage community exploration and to strengthen the local business community. For more information, visit www.thenickelride.co.
