Out of gas in Atlanta: what to do and who to call

Stay out of the travel lane. Then decide whether you can get fuel yourself or need someone to bring it.

Immediate danger? Use 911 Independent guide, not dispatch How we verify →

This page can point you to help while you still have the car. It cannot release an impounded vehicle, take payment for a yard, or pretend to be 911. What this site can and cannot do

Short Answer

If you ran out of gas and the scene is safe, call the roadside line on this page for fuel delivery from one independent local provider. Get the car out of the travel lane first when you can. If the car was already towed, switch to the towed-car guide instead of this line.

Scope

What this page is for

Empty tank, car still with you, you need fuel brought out or help getting moving.
Not a ranked list of gas stations, and not a promise about which fuel grade they carry.
Not an already-towed car. Use the towed-car guide if the car is already gone.

What to do

What to do when you are out of gas

Get out of the travel lane if you can. Hazard lights. Do not walk in live traffic with a gas can if the road is fast and dark.
If the scene is not safe, or anyone is in danger, use official emergency channels.
If you can walk a short, safe distance to a station with a can, that can work. If you cannot, call for help.
Call the roadside line below for fuel delivery. One independent local provider sits behind that number.
If fuel is not enough and the car must move, that becomes an owner-requested tow. Start with Georgia's consumer towing guidance.
If police or a private lot already took the car, stop using this path. Use the towed-car guide.

FAQ

Common questions

Can this line bring gas to my car?

The roadside line on this page connects you to one independent local provider that advertises fuel delivery among its roadside services. Ask when you call. This site does not invent coverage maps or arrival times.

Is fuel delivery the same as a tow?

No. Fuel delivery tries to get you moving where you are. A tow moves the car. If you need a tow you choose, use Georgia consumer towing guidance for owner-requested towing.

Is this a ranking of gas stations?

No. There is no ranked list of stations or providers. One roadside provider sits behind the tracked line, with a money disclosure.

What if my car was already towed?

Use the towed-car guide and official ATL311 or Georgia sources. Do not use the roadside line to free a car from a yard.
