Example — Arizona, 10-mile tow: $80 hookup + 10 × $3.50 = $115.00 (before the $5 platform fee). You keep $64 of the hookup plus the full $35 in mileage. Tows have no surge multiplier.

RV towing — priced by class

Heavier rigs are priced by class rather than by state, and quoted before the customer confirms. Rigs over 30 ft need a commercial transporter and aren't booked through the app.

The platform takes 20% of the hookup only. Mileage is paid to you at 100%, and so is every add-on below. A $5 Roadside Neighbor fee is added at the customer's checkout.

A standard demand multiplier (×1.25 weekends, ×1.5 overnight 10 PM–5 AM) lifts base labor on standard services — that raises your 80% too.

Provider FAQ

Everything you need to know before you apply.

How much can I earn per job?
You keep 80% of base labor + 100% of mileage + 100% of tips, with a $20 minimum floor. Examples before mileage: Jump Start ~$24, Tire Change ~$36, Winch Out ~$76.
Do I need special equipment?
Yes — each service has minimum requirements (e.g. a jump pack for Jump Start, a digital voltage tester for Battery Test, a tow dolly/trailer for towing). You'll upload proof during verification.
What does the verification process involve?
Upload your ID + selfie, pass a background check (Checkr), add insurance docs and equipment photos, pay the one-time verification fee ($99 standard), and complete a manual review. Once approved, you can go live.
How do I get paid?
Earnings show in real time in the app. Payouts go through Stripe Connect — weekly, or on-demand once you hit the minimum.
Can I choose which jobs I take?
Yes. You see full details — payout, distance, vehicle type — and can accept or decline any job with no penalty.
What if the customer cancels after I accept?
You receive a show-up fee. If they cancel after you've arrived, you're paid $30; no-show timeouts pay $15 (non-tow) or $30 (tow/winch).
Do I need commercial insurance?
Yes. You must add Roadside Neighbor as additional insured. We provide recommended partners for light-duty operators.
Can I set my own hours and service area?
Absolutely. Go live whenever you want and set a maximum radius so you only see jobs within your range.
What happens if there's a dispute?
Disputes are resolved with evidence — photos, GPS, and timelines. If you followed protocol, you're protected.
Is there a membership or monthly fee?
No. Only the one-time verification fee. The first 100,000 providers pay no annual membership fee for life.
