Rest Your Car is now the new and improved Commuter Club!

Commuter Club (formerly know as Rest Your Car) is an incentive program sponsored by Drive Time Des Moines to encourage commuters to carpool, vanpool, ride the bus, bike, or walk to work a few times a month instead of driving alone. Commuters who participate in the program and use an alternate commute option at least four times per month are eligible for prizes such as $1,000 VISA gift cards - two (2) given away each quarter - and monthly drawings for $25 Downtown Gift Cards.

Commuters who take part in this program are also eligible for the Guaranteed Ride Home.

How It Works

Simply sign up for the program by enrolling online. Drive Time Des Moines will then send a welcome email to new registrants, confirming enrollment in the program.

Commuters are asked to simply log their alternative commutes online. Participants who do so at least four times per month will be eligible for the rewards and benefits described above.

Winners must be enrolled in the program for the entire quarter and have used an alternate commute four times each month to win one of two $1,000 VISA Check Card given away each quarter. Participants must only be enrolled a month and have used an alternate commute option a minimum of four times to win the monthly prizes.

Why?

If fun, prizes, and member perks aren't enough, then consider this: The average number of people per vehicle during the AM and PM commutes in the Greater Des Moines Area is 1.16*. Yes, you read that right, only 1.16! Driving alone may be convenient for some, but it is the least efficient way to get anywhere.

Rising gas prices, maintenance costs, pollution, traffic congestion, even potholes are all problems that you can help by using an alternate commute option just a few times per month.
