Fuel delivery cost

Running out of gas is one of the more avoidable roadside calls, but it happens. Fuel delivery brings enough fuel to get you moving again for a $49 service fee, plus the cost of the fuel itself.

What the $49 covers

The service fee covers the provider traveling to your location and pouring in enough fuel to get you to the nearest gas station or your destination.

What can add to the cost

The fuel itself is an added cost on top of the $49 service fee, since it's a consumable the provider has to purchase and bring to you. The amount and cost of fuel needed is shown before the job is completed.

How it compares

Fuel delivery pricing varies by company and how far the provider has to travel with fuel on board. Some companies build a large markup into the fuel price itself — I Need Roadside keeps the service fee flat at $49 and the fuel cost separate and visible.

How to book

Choose Fuel Delivery in the app, confirm your fuel type (regular, premium, diesel) and location. A provider is typically dispatched within 10–20 minutes. Pay with card, Cash App Pay, Amazon Pay, bank payment, or Klarna/Afterpay Pay in 4 for eligible customers.
