AAA Nevada offers Tipsy Tow Wednesday night

Posted

To ensure drivers get home safely after Thanksgiving Eve festivities, AAA Nevada is offering its Tipsy Tow service. Service begins 6 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 21, and runs through 6 a.m. Thanksgiving morning. 

To use the service, drivers, potential passengers, party hosts, bartenders, restaurant managers or anyone who wants to ensure a safe ride home for an impaired motorist should call 1-800-AAA-HELP (1-800-222-4357) during the service period and state that they need a Tipsy Tow.

Tipsy Tow provides a free ride home and vehicle tow of up to 10 miles for any driver, not just AAA members. For mileage beyond this, motorists are charged a standard towing rate.

Services will not be provided to motorists requesting a tow to another drinking establishment, repair facility or any other location other than their home or a hotel if the motorist is, or plans to become, a guest. Other services not covered include: Requests to start a vehicle, flat tire change, gas delivery, taxi service and requests to transport more than two people with the vehicle.
