As Americans are celebrating Independence Day, AAA strongly encourages all motorists to arrange a safe ride home before they partake in any festivities. This FREE towing service will runĀ from July 3, 2018 through 6 a.m. on July 5, 2018.

  • Free and available to both AAA members and non-members
  • The AAA tow truck takes the vehicle and the driver home

AAA works year round to educate motorists about driving practices that will help keep them safe and reduce traffic-related crashes and the injuries that can result. PreventDUI.AAA.com is an online resource offering impaired driving facts, transportation alternatives and expert advice. Once there, AAA encourages visitors to Take the Pledge to drive drug and alcohol-free.

Since its inception in 1998, Tow to Go has safely removed more than 25,000 intoxicated drivers from the roads. The service is designed to be used as a last resort. It is offered based on availability of AAA Service Technicians and tow trucks during times of high call volume.

Important Tow To Go Guidelines:
  • Tow trucks can take up to two people home; if there are more people in your partyā€”you will need to make other arrangements to get home safely.
  • You canā€™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 GoĀ may not be available in rural areas or during severe weather conditions

It has been almost 13 years since the inception of IONTB. Our operating expenses are not huge by any stretch of imagination but funds are necessary for our continued survival.  We are asking for a one time contribution or contribution on a monthly basis to help continue IONTB to flourish and enhance the coverage of news in the Tampa Bay area. Think of it as just giving up just a couple of your favorite coffee drinks each month.
