With many people likely to get Monday off, it’s going to be a long, festive weekend as we approach the Fourth of July festivities. Last time we discussed the importance of considering a ridesharing app to transport someone who may be inebriated. For those that may need an alternative to Uber and Lyft, AAA Auto Club is joining forces with Budweiser once again to launch their “Tow to Go” program.
Tow to Go allows drivers that have had a little too much to drink a safe ride. Best of all, the service will be free during the holiday weekend and drivers are not even required to be AAA members to make use of it. The program was launched back in 1998 and has helped over 20,000 inebriated drivers to stay off the roads, saving countless lives and making the roads a little safer for everyone.
There is certain Tow to Go guidelines to be aware of. The ride is limited to a ten-mile radius to a safe location and drivers cannot use it to make an appointment. The service is meant as a last resort and drivers are still expected to have a designated driver. Should the driver be too intoxicated to be transported safely, AAA may contact law enforcement for assistance.
The number for Tow to Go is 855-286-9246 and it begins on June 30th through July 5th.
