SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Jan. 30, 2019 (Gephardt Daily) — AAA Utah is offering its Tipsy Tow service on Sunday to help drivers and their vehicles get home safely after the Super Bowl festivities.

A news release from AAA said the service will start at 6 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 3 and run through 6 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 4.

“AAA wants motorists to plan ahead for a safe ride home if they are planning on attending a Super Bowl party where alcohol is involved,” said Michael Blasky, spokesperson for AAA Utah.

“But if your plans fall through, we encourage drivers, passengers, party hosts and restaurant managers to take advantage of our service, as driving while intoxicated is never a winning play.”

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, the news release said. 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.

To use the service, anyone who wants to ensure a safe ride home for an impaired motorist should call 1-800-AAA-HELP (1-800-222-4357) and state that they need a Tipsy Tow.
