$49 flat plus the cost of the fuel
Out of gas in Richmond? I Need Roadside provides $49 fuel delivery service at your location, plus any applicable fuel cost, so you can reach a gas station and continue your trip. Service is available 24 hours a day across Virginia. Typical ETA: 10–20 minutes. You watch your provider come to you on a live map and pay in the app.
Running dry happens on unfamiliar routes, in traffic that burns more than you planned, and with fuel gauges that are optimistic about the last quarter tank. Walking to a station with a gas can is not a safe option on most roads.
This is the right service when the engine has stopped or will not start and the gauge is at or below empty. Your provider brings enough fuel to get you moving and to the nearest station to fill up properly.
The $49 covers the service call; the fuel itself is an added cost. Tell dispatch what fuel your vehicle takes when you book — gasoline grade or diesel — so the right fuel arrives.
When this isn't the right service: If the tank has fuel but the engine will not start, the problem is elsewhere — a jump start or a tow is more likely what you need.
Most Richmond requests come from the same handful of places: highway shoulders and on-ramps at rush hour, store and workplace lots, residential streets where a car sat overnight, and downtown parking garages. Providers cover Richmond itself plus the surrounding Virginia suburbs, and the rate does not change based on which of those you are stopped in.
