Free AAA Tow to Go in Florida for Memorial Day Weekend
ORLANDO, Florida - AAA is offering free rides and towing to both AAA members and non-members in Florida this upcoming Memorial Day weekend.
Tow to Go is active from 6 p.m. Friday, May 24th to 6 a.m. Tuesday, May 28th.
Floridians can call (855) 2-TOW-2-GO for a safe ride.
How does AAA Tow to Go work?
When someone calls Tow to Go, AAA dispatches a tow truck to transport the would-be impaired driver and their vehicle to a safe location within a 10-mile radius.
Since its inception, this life-saving program has removed more than 30,000 impaired drivers from the road.
The service is free for anyone, yet AAA asks that it be treated as a last resort.
“By providing this program, AAA gives drivers no excuse for driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol or impairing medications,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA – The Auto Club Group.
“However, we remind people to treat Tow to Go as a last resort. Instead, make advanced plans for a safe ride home, because you do not want to be remembered on Memorial Day as the person who made the fatal mistake of driving impaired.”
