AAA to Offer Tow to Go Beginning Wednesday

As AAA prepares to rescue more than 360,000 drivers with car trouble this holiday weekend, it will also work to keep impaired drivers off the road.

Beginning Wednesday night, the Auto Club Group will activate its Tow to Go campaign.

The program is available in Georgia and other select states, offering a safe ride for would-be impaired drivers and their vehicles.

AAA spokesman Mark Jenkins says Tow to Go requests should be used as a last resort.

Tow to Go is active from 6 p.m. Wednesday, November 22nd to 6 a.m. Monday, November 27th.

Nationwide, AAA projects the third-busiest Thanksgiving on record, with an estimated 49.1 million Americans forecast to take a road trip.

Combining cocktails with crowded roads can be deadly.

During the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, from 2017-2021, more than 830 people died in crashes involving a drunk driver, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

This is the 25th year The Auto Club Group has provided the Tow to Go program.

Since its inception, Tow to Go has removed more than 25,000 impaired drivers from the road.

TOW TO GO is free and available to AAA members and non-members.

Appointments cannot be scheduled in advance to use Tow to Go.

It is designed as a last resort safety net for those who did not plan ahead.

In some situations, AAA may need to make other arrangements to get an impaired individual a safe ride home.

If you’ve had too much to drink and need a safe ride home, you can call AAA Tow to Go at 855- 2-TOW-2-GO.
