Towing
Vehicle not going anywhere under its own power? A nearby provider comes to take it where you want it — providers send offers and you choose who comes.
What towing covers
When a roadside fix will not do it, the vehicle needs to move on a truck. You choose the destination — your shop, your home, or a dealer — and the provider you choose comes with the right equipment for the vehicle.
- Cars, vans and light trucks
- You choose where it goes
- Breakdowns, non-starts and post-accident moves
- Equipment matched to the vehicle before dispatch
How the request works
01. Describe the problem
Pick the service in the web app, share where you are and your vehicle. The VIN is optional.
02. Name your price or get quotes
Offer what you want to pay, or let nearby providers quote with their arrival time.
03. Compare, counter, accept
See each provider's price, arrival time and rating. Counter once if you like, then accept.
04. Track to complete
Watch them arrive on the map, then confirm the job is done, get your receipt and rate it.
Towing here is roadside, not vehicle transport. This is a tow to get one vehicle off the road and where it needs to be — nearby providers quote and you choose. Moving vehicles between cities or states is auto transport: that goes on the loadboard and carriers bid on it. See vehicle transport.
