AAA offers free 'tipsy tow service' on Super Bowl Sunday

By Doreen Christensen February 5, 2012 07:25 AM

If you drink too much grog for Sunday's gridiron festivities, don't get behind the wheel and drive drunk. Get a free tow home beginning Friday through Super Bowl Sunday from the American Automobile Association's Tow to Go program. The offer is open to everyone, no membership required.

Call 1-800-AAA-Help and a tow truck will deliver you and your vehicle home safely, no charge and no questions asked. The free service, a partnership between AAA and Budweiser, is 100 percent confidential.

In 2011, AAA received 3,000 calls for the service; nearly 18,000 intoxicated drivers have used Tow to Go since the program began in 1998, according to a press release.

Free Tow to Go coverage is offered in Florida, Georgia and parts of Tennessee.
