Why we exist

A Better Connection Between Drivers and Roadside Providers

There are skilled roadside professionals in cities across the country.

The problem has always been connecting them with the drivers who actually need help at the right moment.

Drivers often search online, call multiple companies, compare prices, and wait without knowing exactly who is coming.

At the same time, roadside providers spend money and time trying to reach customers who are already searching for help.

I Need Roadside was built to bring those two sides together through technology.

Drivers get roadside assistance and towing service through I Need Roadside while also being able to see nearby providers, follow their service live, and manage payment through completion.

Roadside providers get another way to connect with customers who need help in the areas they serve.

Our goal is simple:

Make roadside assistance and towing service easier to get, easier to follow, and easier to use.

Don't Let $49 Keep You Stranded

A dead battery, flat tire, lockout, or empty gas tank can happen when money is already tight. That should not mean you have to stay stranded. With flexible payment options like Klarna and Afterpay, eligible customers may be able to get roadside assistance now while spreading the cost over time.

$49 Roadside Assistance

As little as about $13 today

Klarna & Afterpay available at checkout for eligible customers.

Klarna and Afterpay control eligibility, approval, payment schedules, and applicable terms. I Need Roadside does not provide financing. Approval is not guaranteed and first payment amounts can vary.
