Your roadside emergency kit and auto insurance are keys to staying safe in the face of car troubles.
Just like that, all of your travel plans can grind to a halt. Maybe it was a flat tire. Maybe it was a smoking engine. Maybe you just ran out of gas (whoops!).
Whatever the cause, getting stranded by the roadside can be a little nerve-wracking. Fortunately, knowing you have the right roadside emergency kit and auto insurance can help you stay calm. Here are just a few things your car’s emergency kit needs to contain.
- Water
- Flashlight (with extra batteries)
- Cash
- Emergency contact information
- Pepper spray
- Necessary medications
- Nonperishable food
- Blanket
- Disinfecting wipes
- Flares or hazard triangles
- Jumper cables
- Sunscreen
- For your sanity as you wait for help, it’s also a good idea to include a book, card deck, or other entertainment for yourself
