Once again this year, Union Street Towing will offer free tow services to folks who have partied too hard to drive home, but who will need that vehicle the next day.

Rule number 1 of any night of partying is knowing how you're going to get home. If you're going to drink, make sure you have cab fare, or a sober friend to get you back to your warm bed. But there are always going to be those people who forgot this important step. Or maybe, they just had a little more fun than they'd originally planned. And, you know, the problem with taking a cab is that you then have to find  a way back to your car the next day!

So Union Street Towing Company out of Bangor has a solution! On New Year's Eve, they will offer towing from a bar or party to the person's house or hotel, within the Bangor Brewer area. The tow is completely free and they have the capacity to take multiple passengers. In this case, the offer is not affiliated with AAA, so you don't have to be a member to get the free towing services. It's just a way that the folks at Union Street towing are giving back to the community by keeping the streets safe on New Year's and encourage never driving after drinking. It's a service they've offered for more than 20 years!

Before you head out to your holiday festivities, program these numbers into your phone: 942-4200 and 942-8663. And when you find yourself without a safe way to get home, give them a call. They'll hook you up!
