Election Day Freebies: Voters Can Get Free Rides, Doughnuts, Massages
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA) — Election Day is upon us, and a few companies are ready to reward voters and poll workers for doing their civic duty.
For anyone who needs help getting to the polls, Hertz Rental Car is offering drivers a free day if renting for two or more days today or tomorrow. MTA is also offering free rides to any Angelenos heading out to cast a ballot.
Mass transit passengers in LA can also drop their ballots off in drop-off boxes at 19 rail and bus stations.
If you get hungry after casting your ballot, you can also score a free doughnut at Krispy Kreme if you wear your "I Voted" sticker. If you plan to stay up late to watch returns, Boston Market has a coupon for a free late-night slider after 9 p.m.
And if all the election news is stressing you out, Planet Fitness is offering a free workout and hydro-massage.
Poll workers are also getting a lot of gratitude in the form of free meals.
A non-profit called Feed the Polls will send out catering trucks from The Habit to feed poll workers at several locations until 3 p.m., including:
- Agoura Hills/Calabasas Community Center, 227040 Malibu Hills Rd. in Calabasas
