A new taxi service app Urgent.ly allows commuters to request for roadside assistance in case their ride breaks down.

According to Tech Crunch, founded by Chris Spanos, Surendra Goel, and Luke Kathol, the service allows you to pinpoint your location and request help.

Spanos said that Urgent.ly is the only roadside assistance app with technology like Uber or Lyft.

He said that there was no annual membership fees unlike AAA or other auto clubs that require their customers to pre-pay for something they may not use.

Spanos added that before clicking for service, users are told in advance the total fee they will pay by credit card, such as 99dollars or less for a 15-mile tow.
