Each year we do a toy drive for Blue Santa. We do this event on the SECOND Wednesday in December from 6:30 PM until 10:00 PM. Our pickup location is at the Central Downtown Fire Station at 5th and Trinity. We cannot offer reservations for this evening.

You can exchange a new unwrapped gift for Blue Santa for each passenger to receive a FREE carriage ride. The rides are about 10 to 15 minutes long depending on the demand. We will be using up to three carriages to try to minimize the wait time.

Seating capacity is up to 6 adult passengers. Children under 4 may sit on a lap and are not counted as a seated passenger. Consider the weather for that evening and dress to be out in the weather for at least a half hour. We do have a soft top for a very light rain, but if weather is a concern for that day, please call before you drive downtown to make sure we are offering service. We may have picked a rain out date.

There is very limited parking in the area just like most of the downtown area.

We start receiving reservations two to three weeks in advance for these special occasions. If you want to be guaranteed a specific date and time then we suggest you reserve early. If you are not planning any other event for that evening then we suggest you meet us at 2nd and Congress. Avenue where there is a paid parking lot. There is some free city parking in the area but don't depend on finding any available on a busy evening. All reservations are held on a credit or debit card until you meet the driver to pay with cash. If you pay using your card or a check there is a $10.00 additional fee and you need to have your Texas drivers license with you.

Your reservation time begins at the time you requested unless you board early. Timing for a ride after dinner is important. You may want to allow at least 2 hours for a dinner. If you do not come out to board on time you are paying the driver to sit outside to wait for you and this is time is taken out of your reserve time. 

If you would like to have additional ride time, you may ask the driver if she can extend your reservation time. She may or may not be able to extend your reservation time. This depends upon whether she has other reservations to cover.

If you notify us at least TWO HOURS BEFORE your reservation time we may be able to modify your reservation time. We may NOT be able to accommodate the new time when other parties have reservations. You can either cancel your reservation and AVOID PAYING ANYTHING for the ride or you can ride that part of your reserved time that fits your new schedule.

In the event of excessive wet weather WE WILL CALL YOU to let you know that we are unable to provide you with service. If the rain is light there is a soft top to protect you from the weather. A rain out cancellation is allowed up to 30 minutes before your ride IF you call us to let us know that you feel it is too wet for your group to ride. Of course with the courtesy of a phone call there is no cancellation fee nor do you have to rearrange for another date. If you don't give us proper notice (we record phone calls with changes to insure accuracy) you will be charged full price for the time the driver is sitting and waiting for you.
