Everyone likes to have fun, and sometimes this involves alcoholic beverages. While liquor, beer, and spirits companies want you to enjoy their products, they also want you to enjoy them responsibly. Understanding that holidays often equal increased inebriation AAA and Budweiser have teamed up to offer their Tow To Go program.
The program is FREE and available for EVERYONE (not just AAA members) with 100% confidentiality. If you find that you have had too much to drink, call (855) 2-TOW-2-GO or (855) 286-9246 -- store this number in your phone now -- and they will send a tow truck to pick you AND your car up transporting you both home safely. (Within 10 miles.) Yes, this means your vehicle will be at your house in the morning, so you don't have to worry about getting it the next day.
Since 1998, Tow to Go has safely removed more than 24,000 impaired drivers from roads across the Southeast and the Midwest. The Auto Club Group Traffic Safety Foundation and Budweiser provide this program to prevent impaired drivers from getting behind the wheel and risking the lives of other motorists. Tow to Go also enables AAA and Budweiser to remind the public to always plan ahead when celebrating with alcohol. That means choosing a Designated Driver, staying where you are celebrating, or arranging for another form of safe transportation.
The Tow To Go program is available in this area thanks to AAA and Budweiser distributors like Gold Coast Eagle Distributors, Inc and Pepin Distributing Inc and many others. The service is free to use during these holidays:
- Thanksgiving / Wednesday, November 22nd – 6 a.m. on Sunday, November 26th
- Christmas thru New Year’s Eve / Friday, December 22nd – 6 a.m. on Tuesday, January 2nd, 2018
Considering the average cost of a DUI is up to $20,000, not mentioning the potential for vehicular manslaughter, Tow To Go FREE service is a total no-brainer.
- Tow trucks can usually transport up to two people in the cab of the truck. If there are more people in your party, you will need to make other arrangements to get them home safely.
- You can’t make an appointment to use Tow to Go. It is designed as a safety net for those that did not plan ahead. Always choose a Designated Driver before you have your first drink.
- In some situations, AAA may need to make other arrangements to get an impaired individual a safe ride home.
- Tow to Go may not be available in rural areas or during severe weather conditions.
Remember, it is ok to have fun and enjoy adult beverages, just be sure to drink responsibly, and do not endanger yourself or the lives of the people around you. Enjoy the holidays and relive the memories of the great time you had this holiday for years to come! Get home safe with AAA's Tow-to-Go program.
