The service begins at 6 p.m. on Tuesday, July 4, and runs through 6 a.m. Wednesday, July 5.

Participants need not be AAA members to qualify for the program, which provides 10 miles of free towing for a driver, one passenger and their vehicle. Any additional miles are subject to a standard towing rate. Tipsy Tow does not take reservations.

To use the service, drivers, passengers, party hosts, bartenders and/or restaurant managers should:

• Call 1-800-AAA-HELP (1-800-222-4357)
