DEARBORN – As millions of Americans take to the roads to celebrate Thanksgiving with friends and family, AAA is once again offering its life-saving ‘Tow to Go’ program to help keep impaired drivers off the road.

The service will be active from 6 p.m. on Wednesday through 6 a.m. on Monday.

This year, a record 2.6 million Michiganders are expected to travel at least 50 miles from home during the Thanksgiving holiday period. With nearly 90% of travelers choosing to drive, AAA is urging everyone to plan ahead and make safe choices.

‘Tow to Go’ provides a free, confidential ride and tow for impaired drivers and their vehicles to a safe location within a 10-mile radius. Open to both AAA members and non-members, the program is designed as a last-resort safety net when other options, like a designated driver or rideshare, fall through.

“Since holiday celebrations can lead to risky choices, AAA offers Tow to Go to prevent those choices from turning into tragedies,” said Adrienne Woodland, spokeswoman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “If you find yourself without a safe ride, call AAA and we’ll help get you and your vehicle to a safe place.”

How ‘Tow to Go’ Works:

– Available: 6 PM Wednesday, Nov. 26 until 6 AM Monday, Dec. 1, 2025

– Call: (855) 2-TOW-2-GO

– What: A free tow and ride home within 10 miles for impaired drivers

– Who: Available to both AAA members and non-members

– Note: Service cannot be scheduled in advance and should only be used as a backup plan

“AAA encourages everyone to celebrate responsibly by planning ahead,” Woodland said. “Designate a sober driver, use a rideshare service, or stay overnight if needed. Together we can make this Thanksgiving a safe and joyful one for all.”
