5 Items You Should Always Keep in Your Car During the Cooler Months

The fall and winter months are the perfect time to stay home, cuddle up, and relax without a worry to be had. However, realistically, most of us will still need to head out into the slippery roads no matter what. To help you stay safe in these hazardous conditions, Pronto Insurance has a list of the five essential items you should always keep in your vehicle during these cooler months.

Portable Phone Charger

In today’s day and age, a smartphone can be a lifesaver. It’s the reason why keeping a fully-charged portable charger in your vehicle is a must. While most vehicles today are equipped with charging ports, this could prove useless if your car battery is dead. With a portable charger, you’ll be able to contact family or friends, a ride share service, or even emergency services.

Jumper Cables

Almost every driver out there knows their car battery will give out sooner or later. But despite this, every day, a large part of drivers still climb into their vehicles without a set of jumper cables! To avoid any issues, make sure you have your pair in your car at all times.

Sand and Litter

You may have never been stuck in a patch of ice, snow, or mud before, but know this: if that moment ever happens, you can always trust in sand and cat litter. Sure, this is about the oddest couple of items you could ever have anywhere, but the traction they provide to stuck tires can get you un-stuck from a tricky situation.

First-Aid Kit

Winter is cold, wet, and slippery. The perfect recipe for falls, scratches, and scrapes. A first aid kit can make the difference if you experience any of these while out on the road. It can help you treat minor injuries effectively, or at least until you’re able to seek professional help.

Insurance Information

Your car insurance is important year-round, but it’s especially necessary during the hazardous conditions usually attributed to the fall and winter months. Even if you have your insurance information on your phone, we strongly suggest you keep a physical copy in your vehicle at all times.
