Don’t Drive Impaired; Call (855) 2-TOW-2-GO for a Safe Ride

DEARBORN, Mich., (December 23, 2024) — AAA will work to help stranded motorists while also keeping impaired drivers off the road this holiday season. Tuesday night, the Auto Club Group will activate its Tow to Go program in Michigan and other select states.

“If you’re faced with the decision of driving impaired, put down those keys and pick up the phone to call Tow to Go,” said Adrienne Woodland, spokeswoman, AAA – The Auto Club Group. “AAA will then send a truck to take you and your vehicle to a safe location within a 10-mile radius.” 

It’s important to note, AAA service technicians expect to respond to calls from more than 860,000 drivers with car trouble during the upcoming holidays. So, treat Tow to Go as a last resort. Plan for a safe ride home by identifying a designated driver or ride sharing service before you party.
