For those who are too impaired to drive on New Year’s Eve, AAA will offer a free tow to drivers, whether you’re an AAA member or not.

Tow To Go will transport you and your vehicle to your home or to somewhere safe within 10 miles from where your car is located. To access the program, which is available in Florida, Georgia and Tennessee, call 855-2-TOW-2-GO or 855-286-9246.

The program is sponsored by AAA and its partner, Anheuser-Busch.

“New Year’s Eve is the busiest night of the year for Tow to Go, but it doesn’t have to be,” said Amy Stracke, Managing Director, Traffic Safety Advocacy for AAA – The Auto Club Group and Executive Director of the ACG Traffic Safety Foundation. “Please plan ahead to make sure you and your loved ones get home safely.”

Since its inception in 1998, Tow To Go has transported mor than 24,000 impaired drivers across the Southeast. The service is offered based on the availability of AAA drivers and tow trucks.
