Queenstown entrepreneurs - funds manager Michael Skeggs, journalist Greg Miller and engineers Peter Fuller-Smith and Will Oswald - are behind Scooty Call, which promises to "get you and your car home safely".
Mr Skeggs and Mr Fuller-Smith told the Queenstown Times their idea was simple.
After a night on the town, clients decided to head home but wanted their vehicle in their drive in the morning.
Customers ring the 0800 Scooty Call number and ask driver Michael Dong to pop over on his mini-moped to wherever they are in Queenstown, Frankton, Kelvin Heights or Arrowtown.
Mr Dong meets the client at his or her car, folds the scooter into the boot, then drives the party home before dropping off the client and getting back on his motorbike for the next call.
Mr Skeggs said the idea came to him when he left his car parked overnight in the resort and returned to find it damaged.
"I wanted the ability to get my car home safely without driving it myself.
If you're starting work early in the morning, it's a huge advantage to have your car at home without having to get a taxi into town.
The co-owners launched Scooty Call last February and spent three months dealing with the licences, paperwork, driver hiring, scooter buying and marketing.
Since then, they said they had built up a strong base of regulars and received positive feedback about their venture, but they were keen to encourage more to take the plunge.
"That's why we're doing a half-price August, which means we're cheaper than a taxi," Mr Skeggs said.
Scooty Call operates between 8pm and 2am, seven nights a week.
Mr Fuller-Smith said the company provided a service for a wide range of people, including diners, bar staff, musicians and the owners themselves.
"We want to establish it into a solid brand and socially responsible company in Queenstown with the potential for growth nationwide," he said.
"We chose the name Scooty Call because it's catchy and it's the phone call that always delivers."
