Towing cost

Towing is priced by distance: $75 covers the first 4 miles, and each additional mile is $19. You see the total for your specific pickup and drop-off before you confirm anything.

How the price is calculated

The base $75 covers dispatch and the first 4 miles of towing. Past that, each additional mile is $19. A 10-mile tow, for example, works out to $75 plus 6 miles at $19, shown as one total before you book — not estimated after the truck arrives.

What can add to the cost

How it compares

Tow pricing varies a lot by company, region, and whether it's billed by the hook or by the mile. Some companies charge a hook-up fee plus a per-mile rate that isn't shown until the invoice. I Need Roadside shows the full distance-based total before you approve the tow.

Paying for a tow

Towing can be paid by card, Cash App Pay, Amazon Pay, bank payment, or a Klarna/Afterpay Pay in 4 plan for eligible customers, letting you split a longer, more expensive tow into smaller payments instead of paying it all at once.

How to book

Choose Towing, set your pickup and drop-off locations, and review the calculated total before confirming. A tow provider is typically dispatched within 10–20 minutes.
