The program is available in 13 Southern California counties.
Drivers are limited to a one-way, one-time ride and vehicles will only be towed to the driver's residence. Regular tow service rates apply for anything longer than seven miles.
A recent survey found that 14 percent of motorists admitted to driving drunk at least once in the past year, according to the Auto Club.
