Towhub gets a tow truck to you the way a ride app gets a car: you say where you are, local companies quote a real price, you pick one, and you watch the truck come. No account, no phone tag.
1. Say where you are
Type an address, an intersection or a landmark — or tap Use my location. Add where the vehicle should go (a shop, home, a dealership). The destination matters: most of the price is mileage.
Tell us what we're towing. Scan or type the VIN and we fill in the year, make and model, pick the vehicle type, and flag whether it needs a flatbed (electric, all-wheel drive, low, or not rolling). You can also just pick the type from a list.
Say what happened — won't start, accident, flat, locked out, stuck — and add a photo if it helps the driver bring the right equipment.
2. Compare real quotes
Every company that covers your spot prices the job from its own published rates: hook-up, mileage, after-hours if it's late, sales tax. You see the itemized total, the ETA, ratings from Towhub and Google, the company's on-time record, and their published add-on prices in case conditions change on scene.
Pick one. We save a card (nothing is charged yet) and ask the company to confirm. If they decline or don't answer in time, you pick another.
3. Watch the truck come
The company accepts, assigns a driver, and you get a tracking page: a live map, a traffic-aware ETA, the driver's name and photo, the truck to look for. You get a text at every step.
4. Pay when it's done
When the tow is complete, the amount you were quoted (plus anything you approved on scene) is charged to the card, and you get an itemized receipt by text, email and PDF. You can tip the driver — 100% goes to them.
If anyone is hurt or in danger, call 911 first. Towhub is not an emergency service.
