JACKSONVILLE, Fla — AAA is once again offering its life-saving “Tow to Go” program to help reduce impaired driving during the busy holiday season. The free service will be available across the state of Florida through 6:00 a.m. on Friday, January 2, 2026.

Designed as a last-resort safety option, 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. The program is open to both AAA members and non-members when other transportation options—such as a designated driver or rideshare—are not available.

“The holiday season is a time for joy and celebration, but it also carries a greater risk of impaired driving,” said Mark Jenkins, spokesman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “AAA urges Floridians to plan ahead and make responsible choices to keep the holidays both safe and festive. Tow to Go is our gift to the community, ensuring everyone gets home safely to enjoy the holidays with their loved ones.”
