AAA’s Tow to Go Program Offers Safe Rides During Holidays

Author Kayla Morgan

Preparations are underway across the United States as tow trucks gear up to ensure the safe journey of people during the holiday season. Starting its Tow to Go program this Friday, AAA is set to roll out this service in various states, including Florida, Michigan, Georgia, and North Carolina (Charlotte). This program aims to prevent impaired drivers from hitting the roads during the festive season.

Tow to Go is operational on most major holidays.

When participants use the Tow to Go program, AAA promptly dispatches a tow truck to transport both the impaired driver and their vehicle to a secure location within a 10-mile radius at no cost. Highlighting the significance of the initiative, AAA emphasized that Tow to Go is operational on most major holidays, extending a complimentary ride to impaired drivers and their vehicles who don’t have a safe alternative.

Since its beginning in 1998, the program has successfully removed nearly 30,000 impaired drivers from the roads, according to a news release.

AAA highlights that Tow to Go is a free service accessible to AAA members and non-members. The program offers a confidential local ride for a single person and their vehicle to a secure location within a 10-mile radius. It’s worth mentioning that appointments cannot be pre-scheduled, as Tow to Go is designed as a safety net for those who may not have planned ahead.

AAA strongly advocates the selection of a designated driver before engaging in celebrations. In certain situations, alternate arrangements may be necessary to ensure a safe ride home for an impaired person. It’s important to note that Tow to Go might not be available in rural areas or during severe weather conditions.

With the anticipation of rescuing over 937,000 drivers facing car troubles during the 2023 holiday season, AAA urges people to consider Tow to Go as a last resort. The service is active from 6 p.m. on Friday, December 22, to 6 a.m. on Tuesday, January 2. For assistance, Tow to Go can be reached at (855) 2-TOW-2-GO or (855) 286-9246.
