AAA activates ‘Tow to Go’ for Thanksgiving holiday weekend
Nov 26, 2024
CHARLOTTE, NC – AAA is preparing for a busy Thanksgiving holiday weekend, expecting to respond to more than 570,000 calls from drivers with car trouble. Beginning on Wednesday, The Auto Club Group will also launch its free ‘Tow to Go’ service, which is aimed at preventing impaired driving.
The program is available in Charlotte from 6pm Wednesday, November 27th to 6am Monday, December 2nd.
It is meant to be a last resort for would-be impaired drivers offering them and their vehicles a free, safe ride.
“Tow to Go serves as that last line of defense in keeping impaired drivers off the road,” said Tiffany Wright, spokesperson, AAA – The Auto Club Group in the Carolinas. “If you plan to consume alcohol or drugs this weekend, make plans for a safe ride home first. If your plans fall through, you can call AAA, and we’ll get you to a safe place.”
The Auto Club Group has provided the Tow to Go program for more than 25 years, removing nearly 30,000 impaired drivers from U.S. roadways. When someone calls Tow to Go, a tow truck is dispatched to transport the vehicle and its owner to a safe location within a 10-mile radius. This service is free, regardless of whether the caller is a AAA member.
