Can you call Uber for a jump start?
Would Uber give me a jumpstart if I gave them a big tip? My car wouldn't start due to battery problems. I called my roadside assistance program, but they said it would be three hours for a jump.

“Obviously, a technician on your
towing and labor coverage
is the better choice, as they may be able to diagnose problems if it’s more than just the battery.However, calling Uber might be a smart move.
They’ll be more than happy to take your money for a jump start. Giving them $20 or something similar is probably the best move.
But again, you might want to call your roadside assistance policy or
AAA
(if you’re a member) in case something is drastically wrong with your car.”View full answer
