If you’re going to party like a pirate during Gasparilla, it’s probably best you find a safe ride home from the festivities in Tampa. Captain Morgan wants to help keep Tampa roads safe during one of the biggest celebrations of the year, which is why they’re pledging up up to $20,000 in Lyft Smart Rides.

Creating a safe Gasparilla experience

“Hundreds of thousands of people and pirates will be invading Tampa next weekend, and if you’ve ever been a part of the Gasparilla experience before, you know just how exciting the celebrations are,” said Christina Choi, DIAGEO Senior Vice President, Rum, Gin & Tequila. “Captain Morgan wants to make sure that as many people as possible are having a fun and safe experience. Getting some of our fellow Morgans closer to the action and offering up to $20,000 in Lyft Ride Smart credits is our way of doing just that.”

Those 21 and older can use the code CAPTAINMORGAN20 on Saturday, January 26 from 9am-1pm and 6pm-9pm receive a $20 credit toward their ride fare within 5 miles of Downtown Tampa.

Need a Lyft?

All Lyft users 21 and older who use the discount code on Saturday, January 25 will be given a $20 credit toward their ride fare. The discount will be available from 9am-1pm and 6pm-9pm on Saturday, January 25.

“This Gasparilla, we’re encouraging those celebrating to plan ahead with a Lyft ride to help them explore Tampa and not worry about parking or how to get home afterwards,” said Yun Ling, Florida General Manager for Lyft. “We’re excited to partner with Captain Morgan to give Tampa residents and visitors a reliable, affordable ride option.”
