Dry food

While a mini-fridge for perishables isn't realistic in a car, you can store dry or canned goods. This will come in handy if you're stuck somewhere or need to go a long distance by car. Keep in mind that keeping your energy levels up will make you more aware on the road, allowing you to drive as safely as possible.

Torches

Preparing ahead of time to have a functional torch in your boot will actually be useful more often than you might imagine! It can come in handy if you need to find anything late at night in the dark, or if you need a little more light to see beneath the hood of your car. Also, if you ever find yourself locked in your car, you could conserve your car battery by turning on your ECOGEAR FX flashlight.

Cables for charging

To guarantee that you don't run out of battery power while on the road, have phone and GPS chargers and adapters in your car at all times. You can't use your phone while driving, but you never know when you'll need to call someone in an emergency. In addition, if you don't have a GPS, your phone may now function as one and guide you to your desired location. Just make sure you're not using it with your hands!

A spare tank of fuel

Keeping an extra load of fuel in the trunk of your car will ensure that even if you miscalculate the distance between gas stations, you will have a spare tank of gas in the back to keep you topped up.

Toiletries 

Keeping a little pack of necessities in your car is usually a good idea. If you have a small family, you are well aware that youngsters have small bladders and frequently require the use of the bathroom while you are in the middle of nowhere. Having toilet paper, baby wipes, and hand sanitizer on hand can allow you to relieve yourself cleanly and with some dignity. People generally opt to keep everything together with their first aid kit so that they don't have to search their car desperately for the correct bag.

Make sure you add these nine necessary items to your set vehicle list so you can rest comfortably that you'll always have everything you need when you're going on a lengthy vacation, or even just a weekend getaway!
