How RoadLift Works
RoadLift is the app-based way to get roadside assistance. Instead of searching for a number and explaining where you are, you request help from your phone and watch it arrive.

Download RoadLift
Get the RoadLift app on your iPhone from the App Store and create your account. Add a payment card or Apple Pay so you are ready when you need help.
- 2
Choose what you need
Pick towing, a battery boost, flat-tire assistance, car lockout help or fuel delivery. For a tow, add your drop-off and a few details about your vehicle.
- 3
Confirm your location
The app uses your phone's location to pin where your vehicle is. Adjust the pin and add a note — a parking level, a landmark — so your driver finds you fast.
- 4
See the price and request help
The app shows your price before you confirm. Request now, or schedule a service for later.
- 5
Track and chat with your driver
A nearby approved driver accepts your request. Follow them live on the map and message them in the app — no calling dispatch for updates.
- 6
Get back on the road
When the job is done, payment is handled securely in the app and your receipt is saved there for your records or insurance.
