Advice: Carry a few essentials in the car all the time

There are some things that you should always have in your car “just in case” and can be tucked away to not tempt a break-in:

Phone charger
First aid
Water
Snacks
Battery jumper (you’ll have to charge it periodically)
Paper maps (in case of emergency) — I have AAA and they provide free paper maps
A few paper towels (for e.g. checking your oil)
I also keep a quart of oil in the car, but that might be less necessary if you have a newer model or tend to stay close to home.
Winter:
Emergency blankets (they’re very small)
Hand warmers
Chains
Snow/ice remover
