AAA wants Arizonans to say goodbye to 2016 safely. The safety advocate is urging revelers to incorporate a safe ride home in their celebratory plans.

AAA receives hundreds of calls for Tipsy Tow during the New Year’s Eve service period. Since the program’s inception in 2009, AAA has kept thousands of drunk drivers off the road.

“New Year’s Eve is arguably the biggest drinking holiday of the year,” said Stephanie Moe, corporate responsibility supervisor for AAA Arizona. “That means cabs and other safe ride home options are going to be busy, so make sure you have a few alternatives for getting home safe. If those fall through, AAA’s Tipsy Tow will be there if you need it.”

AAA’s Tipsy Tow service will start at 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 31, and will run through 6 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 1. Drivers, passengers, party hosts, bartenders and/or restaurant managers should:

Call 1-800-AAA-HELP (1-800-222-4357) between 6 p.m. Dec. 31 and 6 a.m. Jan. 1.

State that they need a “Tipsy Tow.”

Provide the driver’s name, home address, phone number and vehicle/driver location.

Tipsy Tow provides a free 10-mile tow and ride home. For mileage beyond this, motorists are charged a standard towing rate. The service does not include roadside assistance.
