Your car needs a ride.
Someone nearby can give it one.
TowShare puts people with a broken-down car in touch with neighbors who already own a tow hitch. The closest driver whose setup can handle your car gets the call.
If you have a tow hitch, this is for you.
Already have a towing package, or willing to get one installed? Sign up and start taking jobs. You never pay out of pocket to be a driver: the first month is free, and after that you're only charged once you've had a paying customer. If you don't earn, we don't earn.
Sign up and add your vehicle
Enter your make, model and towing setup. Or just take a photo of the VIN on your windshield and we'll read it for you. From the VIN we look up what your vehicle is rated to tow.
Get your setup inspected
Right after sign-up, the app shows inspection locations near you. You can also use your own mechanic. Print our one-page form, have them check the brakes, suspension, hitch and the rest, and snap a photo of the signed form. The app compresses it automatically. If you go to a proper towing shop that already does these checks, you may not need our form at all. The inspection is paid directly to the shop, and your free month keeps running meanwhile.
Get the Insured badge
Once your inspection is on file, you're an approved driver and your profile shows the Insured badge. Customers can add insurance to their tow when they book with you.
Take the jobs you want
Jobs come to the closest driver whose towing capacity fits the car. You see the pickup, the drop-off and a suggested price, then accept or pass. Want a different number? Chat with the customer and settle on one together.
Photograph the tow
Before you move the car, take photos of it and of how you attached it. They're saved to your profile. If anything ever goes wrong, the record is already there.
Get paid by the customer
Cash, Zelle, whatever the two of you agree on. TowShare doesn't touch the money.
If your car is stuck on the side of the road.
Put in your car's details, say where it needs to go, and we find the closest driver who can actually tow it. A light car has plenty of drivers to pick from. A heavy one only gets matched with drivers whose rated capacity covers it.
- If two wheels still roll. A car can be towed as long as its front pair or back pair of wheels works.
- Pick the destination. A local shop, or your own mechanic. We show an estimated price either way, including when it's farther than usual.
- Agree the price in the chat. The driver suggests a number; counter it if you like. Say they suggest $350, you offer $300, they come back with $325, done.
- Add insurance if you want it. When your driver has the Insured badge, you can tick a box for a small extra fee (we're working toward around $8) and file a claim if something happens during the tow.
- Or skip it. You can book a driver without insurance, and the app tells you plainly that the tow isn't covered.
- Pay your driver directly. Cash, Zelle, whatever you agree on.

How TowShare makes money.
Only from driver memberships, and only after a driver has had a paying customer. We don't take a cut of any tow and we're not part of the payment between you and your driver.
TowShare is still being built. The insurance add-on, its price, the membership fee and any partner inspection shops are not final and depend on agreements we're still working out with insurers. Nothing on this page is active coverage.
