Three Things to Keep in Your Car for Emergencies

Here are three relatively inexpensive items that will keep you prepared for some of the most common situations you’ll face on the road.

Three Things to Keep in Your Car for Emergencies

1. Emergency Kit

Safety is your top priority, so we recommend assembling a kit to keep you and your passengers covered. At a minimum, that should include first aid supplies, a flashlight, bottled water, and fridge-free snacks like granola bars.

2. Flat Tire Solution

This can be as simple as a can of Fix-a-Flat, which can seal and inflate a punctured tire. But for a more comprehensive solution, we recommend a system that includes an air compressor and tire pressure gauge.

3. Jumper Cables

It might seem redundant if you have Roadside Assistance with a service like the Union Plus Motor Club, but you’ll be glad you had jumper cables when you’re camping in the woods, cell phone reception is spotty, and your car’s battery is drained.

Union families save an average of $3,279 off MSRP on new cars, and get special rebates for buying union-made.
