Tow trucks can take up to two people home; if there are more people in your party—you will need to make other arrangements to get home safely.
-
You can’t make an appointment to use the Tow to Go service, it is designed to be used as a last resort so have a designated driver before you have your first drink.
-
It may be necessary, in certain situations, for AAA to contact a cab company or local law enforcement to assist with getting the intoxicated individual a safe ride.

Tow to Go may not be available in rural areas or during severe weather conditions
