Free Ride Home For Thanksgiving Partiers
"Tow To Go" 1-800-AAA-HELP
Tow To Go Available Thanksgiving through New Year's Day
MIAMI (CBS4) ―
For those who have one too many drinks during the Thanksgiving holiday, AAA Auto Club South has teamed up with Budweiser to provide a safe way home.
The auto club's "Tow to Go" program provides a free confidential ride home and tow to anyone who may have had too much to drink simply by calling
1-800-AAA-HELP.
The program, which was started in 1998, has given more than ten thousand drivers a safe way home.
"The busiest time for the 'Tow to Go' program is during the upcoming holiday season when more than 70 percent of the call volume is received," said Ed Schatzman, senior vice president of automotive services for AAA Auto Club South. "We have decided once again to offer the Tow to Go services from Thanksgiving weekend through New Year's Day to anyone who may need it because we want everyone to make it home safely to their families this holiday season."
Schatzman said anyone planning to go out and celebrate should program the "Tow to Go" number in their cell phone before they leave their home or office.
"We're pleased to partner with AAA and their service technicians to keep our roads safe during the holiday season," said Kathy Casso, vice president of Corporate Social Responsibility for Anheuser-Busch. "There's no better gift any one can give than being a designated driver, and thanks to Tow to Go, anyone who may have had too much to drink can get a safe ride home during the holidays."
AAA and Budweiser encourage individuals to plan for a safe celebration by being or choosing a 'Designated Driver' or calling 'Tow to Go' for a safe ride home, rather than allowing anyone to drive whose sobriety is in question.
