AAA's Tow to Go Program Returns this Memorial Day Weekend

Wednesday, May 24th, 2023 -- 12:01 PM

As AAA prepares to rescue more than 483,000 drivers nationwide with car trouble this Memorial Day weekend, it will also provide a free service in effort to keep impaired drivers off the road.

The Auto Club Group is activating its Tow to Go program in Wisconsin and other select states, offering a safe ride for would-be impaired drivers and their vehicles. This is the 25th year The Auto Club Group has provided the Tow to Go program.

When called upon, The Auto Club Group dispatches a tow truck to transport the driver and vehicle to a safe location within a 10-mile radius for free. Since its inception, Tow to Go has removed more than 25,000 impaired drivers from the road. Tow to Go is active from 6 p.m. Friday, May 26th to 6 a.m. Tuesday, May 30th. Free confidential rides available to AAA members and non-members.

“By providing this program, AAA gives drivers no excuse for driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol or impairing medications,” said Nick Jarmusz, director of public affairs, 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.”
