AAA offers free tipsy tow service on Halloween and Nov. 1-3

By Doreen Christensen October 30, 2012 06:10 AM

Don't be a ghoulish fool and get behind the wheel and drive drunk after that Halloween party.

Instead, arrive alive and get a free tow home from the American Automobile Association's Tow to Go program. The offer is open on Wednesday, Oct. 31 and Nov. 1-3 to everyone, no membership required, but should only be used as a last resort. The offer is based on availability of trucks and call volumes.

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; more than 18,000 intoxicated drivers have used Tow to Go vs. 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.
