PSR Partnership Program
A local partnership between Palmetto State Rides and Greenville-area bars, restaurants, and venues.
How the PSR Partnership Program Works
PSR riders receive a PSR Preferred Business Card during their ride. That card connects your business directly to our customers and gives them a reason to choose your location first.
Rider Uses PSR
A customer books a private ride with Palmetto State Rides. During the trip, their driver gives them a PSR Preferred Business Card and lets them know which locations are part of the network.
We Drop Off at Your Location
When a PSR trip ends at your bar, restaurant, or venue, that drop-off is logged in our system. The rider shows their card to the bartender or waitstaff to redeem your perk.
You Provide a Simple Perk
You honor a PSR-only perk (for example a BOGO drink or appetizer special), and in return you gain a new paying customer and help support the monthly community charity.
Perks You Can Offer PSR Riders
You choose the perk that fits your business. It should be easy for staff to remember, quick to ring in, and low cost while still feeling valuable to the customer.
BOGO Drinks
Buy one, get one drink (beer, wine, or cocktail). Keeps your margins healthy while giving PSR riders a strong reason to choose your bar first.
Appetizer Special
A free or discounted appetizer with any purchase. Great for restaurants and breweries where food drives the check total.
Upgrade or House Special
Upgrade to a premium option at no extra cost, or create a “PSR House Special” that only our riders can order.
Non-Alcohol Option
Perfect for family-focused locations: free soft drink, dessert, or kids’ item when a PSR rider presents their card.
You can change or update your perk at any time.
Why Local Businesses Partner with PSR
Our goal is to create a win–win between safe transportation and local businesses.
- More paying customers delivered directly to your door by a private ride service.
- Free promotion from PSR drivers, our website, and social media.
- Exclusive placement as a PSR Preferred Business — not just “another spot on a list.”
- Optional inclusion in bar crawls, tours, and special event routes.
- Clear, trackable impact through our monthly drop-off–based charity donations.
Limited Availability: Only 7 Partner Spots
To keep the PSR Partnership Program exclusive and valuable, we are only accepting 7 official PSR Preferred Businesses at this time.
Each business receives one dedicated weekly slot on a specific day of the week (Monday through Sunday). Your perk applies on your assigned day, and no two businesses will share the same day. This prevents overlap and keeps your traffic consistent.
Spots are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Once all 7 weekly slots are filled, new partners will be added to the waitlist until a spot becomes available.
If you’re interested, we recommend applying early.
Community & Charity: Drop-Off Based Donations
Palmetto State Rides supports a rotating Business Charity of the Month.
For every PSR ride that ends at a participating PSR Preferred Business, PSR donates $1 to the Business Charity of the Month. At the end of the month, we share how many PSR drop-offs you received so you can choose to match some or all of that amount if you’d like.
There is no extra work for your staff — no tracking cards, no logging visits. We use our own ride data to calculate drop-offs and the total donation. You simply focus on taking great care of the customers we bring you.
Optional: Business Charity Spotlight Videos
Each month, partner businesses are invited (but never required) to record a short video (15–30 seconds) explaining why they chose that month’s charity or why supporting the community matters to them.
Videos can be filmed on a phone — keep it natural and simple. We’ll feature selected videos on our PSR social media pages and website, giving your business additional visibility and reinforcing our shared community message.
This is completely optional — it’s just a great way to showcase your business and the impact we’re making together.
Become a PSR Preferred Business
Joining the PSR Partnership Program is free and only takes a couple of minutes. Tell us about your bar, restaurant, or venue and choose the perk you’d like to offer PSR riders.
Quality Over Quantity — Not an Advertising Program
PSR is not an advertising platform and we do not sell promotional placement. The PSR Partnership Program is a curated selection of local businesses that enhance the rider experience and align with the PSR brand.
We only partner with locations that create meaningful experiences for our riders. All partners are hand-selected, limited in number, and reviewed to ensure a consistent, high-quality experience.
If your business offers a positive experience for the community and can provide a simple perk to PSR riders, we welcome your application.
We’ll be announcing our first official PSR Preferred Businesses soon. Check back for updates.
