The auto giant is reactivating its “Tow to Go” service from 6 p.m., Dec. 23 to 6 a.m., Jan. 2.
The program was created to provide safe transportation for impaired drivers and their cars.
The service works by dispatching a tow truck driver to meet up with a person who is unfit to operate their vehicle.

The tow truck then transports the impaired driver and his or her car to a safe location within a 10-mile radius of the pickup spot.
For nearly 25 years, AAA has offered its Tow to Go program during major holidays and estimates it has helped keep more than 25,000 impaired drivers off the road.
