MICHIGAN — AAA is once again offering its “Tow to Go” program to help keep impaired drivers off the road this holiday season. The service will be active from 6 p.m. on Dec. 24, 2025, to 6 a.m. on Jan. 2, 2026, across select states.
The “Tow to Go” program provides a free, confidential ride and tow for impaired drivers and their vehicles to a safe location within a 10-mile radius. Available to both AAA members and non-members, the program serves as a safety net when other options, like a designated driver or rideshare, fall through. Adrienne Woodland, spokesperson for AAA – The Auto Club Group, emphasized the importance of making responsible choices during the holidays.
The program will be available in several states including Florida, Ga., Iowa, Mich., N.D., Neb., Tenn., Wis., Colo. (Denver), N.C. (Charlotte), and Indiana (Fort Wayne and South Bend). Through “Tow to Go,” impaired drivers can receive a free ride and tow home within a 10-mile distance.
AAA originally developed “Tow to Go” to address the issue of impaired driving, particularly during high-risk times such as the holidays. Alcohol-impaired driving is involved in nearly one-third of all U.S. traffic deaths. In 2023 alone, more than 12,000 lives were lost in alcohol-related crashes in the U.S., highlighting the need for initiatives like this.
Woodland noted, “The holiday season is a time for joy and celebration, but it also carries a greater risk of impaired driving.” She urged drivers to plan ahead to keep the holidays safe and festive.
The “Tow to Go” service cannot be scheduled in advance and should only be used as a backup plan. Motorists can call (855) two-TOW-two-GO for assistance. AAA encourages everyone to prioritize safety and make responsible choices during the holiday season.
