TAMPA, Fla. (May 3, 2019) — This weekend, AAA and Budweiser will activate ‘Tow to Go’ for Cinco de Mayo. The service aims to prevent Floridians from driving while impaired, by providing a complimentary ride for the driver and their vehicle. You do not have to be a AAA member to use this service.
Tow to Go services are available from Friday, May 3 — Monday, May 6 at 6 a.m.
"Before making margaritas or tossing back tequilas, be sure you have a safe ride home," said Mark Jenkins, spokesman, AAA - The Auto Club Group. "The fiesta can end quickly if you drive impaired. AAA urges partygoers to select a sober driver, taxi, or ridesharing service before taking your first drink. If you are worried about leaving your vehicle at the party, call AAA and we'll arrange a safe ride for you both."
Since its inception in 1998, Tow to Go has removed more than 25,000 impaired drivers from roads across the Southeast and Midwest. Visit AAA.com/TowToGo to learn more
