Summer is finally here and you're probably planning weekend getaways and family road trips. Before you load up your car with your luggage or camping gear, make sure you have these things in your glove compartment and cargo space before you hit the road.
Although the list is endless when it comes to things to keep on hand in case of an emergency or accident, here are six things that will keep you and your family safe, hydrated, and protected from the elements.
- A copy of your insurance and vehicle registration documents
- Jumper cables
- A tire repair kit or a spare tire and jack
- An extra bottle of windshield washer fluid
- Bottled water and packaged snacks
- A blanket, umbrella, or tarp
Other things that are great to keep handy include tissues, a sun shield, rags or paper towels, a flashlight, and a backup battery pack to charge devices.
