Drinking on New Years and need a ride home? AAA has you covered

Orlando, Fla. — Lets face it: Tons of people love to have a party on New Year's Eve or for New Years Day, and parties usually mean someone is drinking. To make sure that everyone gets home safely, AAA wants to remind everyone of its Tow to Go program.

According to AAA, since 1998, the program has saved over 25,000 lives across the nation. Best part is, its FREE to both AAA members and non-members. However, there are some important guidelines that they want you to be aware of:

- The tow truck only takes you home or somewhere safe if its within 10 miles

- Tow trucks can only take up to two people, so if you have more, you will have to make arrangements for the others.

- You can't make an appointment for it. Its only meant for people who don't plan ahead.

- In some cases, AAA may have to make other arrangements to get you a safe ride home.

- The program may not be available in certain rural areas or during severe weather conditions.

The program is available through Thursday, January 2nd. The toll free number to call is (855)-286-9246.
