ATLANTA – AAA is offering the life-saving Tow to Go program this holiday season to help keep impaired drivers off the road.
Release:
AAA is once again offering its life-saving ‘Tow to Go’ program to help keep impaired drivers off the road this holiday season. The service will be active from 6:00 PM on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, through 6:00 AM on Friday, January 2, 2026, across select states.
‘Tow to Go’ provides a free, confidential ride and tow for impaired drivers and their vehicles to a safe location within a 10-mile radius. Open to both AAA members and non-members, the program is designed as a last-resort safety net when other options, like a designated driver or rideshare, fall through.
“The holidays are meant for joy, not tragedy caused by impaired driving,” said Montrae Waiters, spokeswoman for AAA- The Auto Club Group. “We urge Georgians to plan ahead: choose a designated driver, arrange a ride share, or use public transportation. And if those plans fall through, AAA’s Tow to Go is here as an extra safety net, our gift to the community to ensure everyone gets home safely and can celebrate the season with their loved ones.”
How ‘Tow to Go’ Works:
- Available: 6 PM Wednesday, Dec. 24, 2025, until 6 AM Friday, Jan. 2, 2026
- Call: (855) 2-TOW-2-GO
- Where: Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Michigan, North Dakota, Nebraska, Tennessee, Wisconsin, Colorado (Denver), North Carolina (Charlotte), Indiana (Fort Wayne and South Bend)
- What: A free tow and ride home within 10 miles for impaired drivers
- Who: Available to both AAA members and non-members
- Note: Service cannot be scheduled in advance and should only be used as a backup plan
Why It Matters:
- Alcohol-impaired driving is involved in nearly one-third of all U.S. traffic deaths
- In 2023 alone, over 12,000 lives were lost in alcohol-related crashes – one every 42 minutes
- AAA’s “Crashes Hit Different” campaign reminds us that behind every crash statistic is a real person: a parent, a friend, or a neighbor whose life is forever changed. These tragedies are preventable, and programs like Tow to Go are part of the solution
