As a safe alternative to drinking and driving this Labor Day, AAA Arizona is offering its free Tipsy Tow service to those who've imbibed too much.

The service begins at 6 p.m. Sunday and runs through 11:59 p.m. Monday.

Drivers, potential passengers, party hosts, bartenders and restaurant managers can call 1-800-AAA-HELP (1-800-222-4357) to request a free tow home of up to 10 miles. Callers can simply tell the AAA operator, "I need a Tipsy Tow," to receive the free tow and ride home.

The program is open to everyone. You do not need to be a AAA member to use it.

Tipsy Tow will provide a one-way ride for the driver, one passenger and their vehicle. Services will not be provided to motorists requesting a tow to another drinking establishment, repair facility or any location other than their home. However, in some cases, a tow to a hotel may be allowed if the motorists is, or plans to become, a guest.

Other services that will not be provided include requests for a vehicle start, flat tire change, gas delivery, "taxi" service and requests to transport more than two people with the vehicle.

Also, motorists can expect to be charged the towing company's standard rate for trips longer than 10 miles.
