Tow To Go Stands Ready For Super Bowl 2017

TAMPA, FL — Football fans who get a little too spirited this Super Bowl weekend have a place to turn for a safe ride home for themselves and their vehicles. AAA and Bud Light are teaming up again to provide the free Tow To Go service.

Tow To Go rides are offered at no charge to AAA members and non-members alike with vehicle towing included. Since Super Bowl festivities tend to extend throughout the weekend, the service will be made available for the duration. Motorists in need of rides home can request service starting Friday, Feb. 3. Trucks will be available to help keep impaired drivers off the roads through 6 a.m. Monday, Feb. 6.

Since it was launched in 1998, the program has provided rides for more than 24,000 impaired drivers, the program’s website reports. It is offered based on availability, providing those who take part free towing within a 10-mile radius of the pickup location.

There are a few caveats with the program:

• Tow truck drivers can only take a maximum of two people and one vehicle home
• Advance appointments aren’t allowed as holiday revelers are advised to designate a driver and only use the towing service as a last resort
• In some situations a cab might be required or law enforcement might need to be called in to assist in getting an intoxicated motorist home safely

To obtain a ride, call 855-286-9246. The service is also available for other holidays such as St. Patrick’s Day, Thanksgiving, Labor Day and Independence Day, among others.
