SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - People are going to be at the pool, on the beach, or by the grill, and most likely drinking so, the Tow To Go Program is for those who need help by leaving the car behind.

The program will run from 6 p.m. on Friday, July 4, to 6 a.m. on Monday, the 7th.

AAA will offer a free confidential ride and tow within 10 miles of where they are in the moment they call. It’s available to everyone -- AAA members and non-members. Also, it can’t be scheduled in advance as it’s designed for last-minute situations.

“By providing Tow to Go, AAA ensures there’s no reason to risk driving impaired,” said Montrae Waiters, spokeswoman for AAA – The Auto Club Group. “Make a plan in advance, but if circumstances change, we’re here as a safety net to help you reach home safely.”

It is offered in Georgia but not in South Carolina.

How it works:

Nearly 61.6 million Americans are going on a road trip this weekend, according to AAA. Nearly one-third of all traffic deaths in the country involved drunk drivers and AAA statistics show someone died in a drunk driving crash every 42 minutes.
