If you call a local towing company or roadside assistance company, they might charge you anywhere from $50 to $100 for a jump start. At that price, you could almost buy a new battery. But you also have other options. If you have jumper cables, call a taxi.

Can a tow truck give me a jump?
One of the most obvious reasons to call a tow company over waiting for a stranger is the fact they will immediately head out to give you a jumpstart! Depending on where you and the vehicle are, there is a chance that you won't be able to flag down a stranger for help for some time, especially in quieter areas.Feb 10, 2018
