For all the festive party-goers on Christmas Eve, auto club AAA is offering a “tipsy tow” service to make sure that you won’t be drinking and driving Sunday night.
Starting at 6 p.m. Sunday until 6 a.m. Monday, AAA will tow any intoxicated driver’s car back home.The “tipsy tow” service will be available for AAA members and non-members and is free for the first 10 miles of the tow. Beyond the 10 miles, a standard towing rate will be charged. Roadside assistance is not included.
Hailing a “tipsy tow” service is a simple three-step process: first, call 1-800-AAA-HELP (1-800-222-4357). Then ask for “tipsy tow” service and state the driver’s name, home address, phone number and vehicle/driver location.
“Be sure you have a plan to get home safely if you’re out celebrating this year,” said AAA spokesperson Michael Blasky. “If that plan falls through, give AAA a call and we’ll get you home.”
The service will also be provided on New Year’s Eve during the same time periods.
