Download Urgent.ly To Have Roadside Assistance At Your Fingertips This Spring Break

By Megan Weyrauch on March 10, 2015

Imagine this: you’re driving to Miami for spring break with your roommates when all of a sudden, you get a flat tire in the middle of nowhere. Stranded, you frantically run over your options with your friends.

Before you give up on your trip (and your hard work to get high enough grades on your midterms to convince your parents to sponsor your spring break trip goes to waste), download new app Urgent.ly.

According to this recent press release, with just a few taps on your smartphone, this app will have a nearby tow truck en route to your destination while you watch help arrive on your phone’s map (similar to Uber).

Regardless of where you are headed for your trip of a lifetime, download Urgent.ly and stay safe, resting in the knowledge that this app comes with a nationwide network of rescue vehicles and flat-rate, pay-per-use pricing. An altogether better and far cheaper way to get roadside help than anything that’s come before it, Urgent.ly is FREE to download.

With no membership fees, annual dues or hidden fees, Urgent.ly is taking over as America’s #1 on-demand roadside assistance service. With Urgent.ly, according to their website, you can quickly see nearby available help and get an accurate estimated time of arrival (ETA) of the closest tow truck to you.

With just a few taps to help the tow truck driver identify your car, you can connect with help and then watch on your map to see help arrive. Then, you can pay securely with credit card and you are not charged until your service is complete.

In terms of costs, the website specifies that getting you going again due to the most common roadside headaches (like the pesky flat tire, dead battery, out of gas, locked out, etc.) costs $75. Towing your car to a location up to 15 miles away costs $99 with prices varying for drop-offs further than 15 miles. However, without membership fees, this pricing structure has value.

Worried about keeping loved ones safe? Urgent.ly includes a FamilyView feature where you can link the people you care most about to your account, so that if they are in a roadside bind, you will be alerted and be able to pay for them to get them back on the road.

In addition, for a limited time, Urgent.ly is offering a lifetime discount on service of 15 percent to anyone who downloads the app and enters promo code “SB15″ during registration, according to the press release.
