Roadside Assistance

Professional roadside help that gets you running before towing.

A dead battery, a flat, keys dangling in the ignition, an empty tank ten minutes from home - these are 20-minute fixes for a mobile roadside unit, and they cost a fraction of a tow. Hundreds of the companies listed here run dedicated roadside fleets alongside their trucks.

Before you assume the worst, check the company's profile: if it lists battery boosts, tire changes, lockouts or fuel delivery, ask for the roadside rate first. A boost that gets you to work beats a tow to a shop that finds nothing wrong.

How It Works

Three steps between you and a truck on the way.

1

Find your city

Pick your state and city, or jump straight to the service you need. Companies are ranked by rating and review depth, with 24/7 operators flagged.

2

Compare real profiles

Profiles are built from each operator's own published information: equipment, coverage area, hours, and what they actually specialize in, so you know before you call.

3

Call direct. Pay direct.

We're a directory, not a dispatcher. No call center in the middle, no referral markup: the number on the page rings the company's own line.

What should a tow cost?

Towing in the U.S. is typically a hook-up fee plus a per-mile rate, and both vary by state, vehicle and time of day. This estimator runs on real published rates we collected from towing companies in every state so you can sanity-check a quote before you say yes - especially after an accident, when you're in no state to haggle.

Rule of thumb: a local daytime tow for a sedan runs $100–$250 in most American cities. Long distance, heavy vehicles, winching and 2 a.m. calls cost more - and impound release fees are a different animal entirely.

Towing is regulated state by state, and the rules protect you more than most drivers realize. Our guides cover what a tow should cost, what an operator must show you, and how to get through a hard winter without meeting one.

FAQ

Quick answers for stressful moments.

How much does towing cost in the U.S.?

Most local tows for a car or SUV run $100–$250: a hook-up fee (typically $75–$125) plus a per-mile rate ($2–$4). Heavy vehicles, winching, storms and after-hours calls cost more. Many states and cities cap non-consent towing rates - always ask for the total before the truck is dispatched.

Is it cheaper to call a tow company directly?

Usually, yes. Apps and call centers add referral fees. Every number on Towing USA rings the company's own dispatch - you pay their rate, not their rate plus a middleman.

Does my insurance cover towing?

After an accident, towing from the scene is generally covered under your collision claim. Breakdown towing is only covered if you added roadside assistance to your policy or carry a plan like AAA. Keep every receipt either way.

Can a tow truck take my car without permission?

From private property (a plaza, an apartment lot) - yes, if signage meets state and local rules. From a public street, only police or parking enforcement can order it. If your car vanishes, call the local non-emergency police line before assuming theft; they log all authorized tows.

What's the difference between a flatbed and a wheel-lift?

A flatbed carries the whole vehicle on a deck - required for AWD vehicles and most EVs. A wheel-lift tows with two wheels rolling on the road: faster and often cheaper, but only for the right drivetrain. When in doubt, say what you drive and let the dispatcher choose.

How fast will a tow truck arrive?

In cities, 30–60 minutes is typical; 24/7 operators flagged on our listings often quote 30 or less. In storms, expect multiples of that - which is why the winter guides exist.
