  2. 02
    TowNow app screen "Confirm your vehicle" with an Irish number plate field

    Confirm the vehicle

    TowNow request screen with pickup and drop-off fields, service type and problem type

    Set the drop-off and send it

Questions

Before you download.

What is TowNow?

An app for drivers who need a tow or roadside help in Ireland. You drop a pin for the pickup, add a drop-off address, confirm the vehicle, and the job goes out to tow operators on the TowNow network. You can follow the operator on the map while they come to you.

Where do I get the app?

It is free on Google Play for Android and on the App Store for iPhone. Search for "TowNow: Roadside Assistance" or use the buttons on this page.

Do I have to use the app?

No. If you would rather talk to someone, ring 087 452 4853, or leave your number on the request page and we will call you back.

Can I see the price before I confirm?

Yes. Before you confirm, the request screen shows the base price and the rate per kilometre for the vehicle you picked, so the distance to the drop-off decides the rest.

Someone is hurt. What do I do?

Ring 112 first. The app is for getting a vehicle moved, not for emergencies involving people.
