5 Things To Have in Your Car

Being prepared is always a good idea. However, many of us often get caught in the middle of an emergency totally off-guard. To help you tackle any unforeseen road situation, we’ve come up with a list of 5 things to have in your car. Whether you embark on a long-distance adventure or simply take your car for a ride around town, these essentials will help keep you and your passengers safe.

Always try to have the following items in your car:

A flashlight (with an extra pair of batteries). Imagine yourself on a dark road with a car down! It will be hard to change a flat tire for example without light.

Jumper cables. These will enable you to jump-start the car if your battery dies or lend someone a helping hand when necessary.

A jack (to change the tire). This should come as a standard in every car. However, if you have bought a used car, for instance, you should double-check if it’s still there.

A blanket to keep you warm if you, God forbid, find yourself in the middle of a winter storm with a car refusing to start. You can even throw in some old clothes.

A first aid kit is a must to have in your car. In some countries, it is the law to have an emergency first aid kit and a few other basic things that can come in handy in case of accidents or breakdowns.

These are the essentials you should always have in your car. Of course, you never plan to get caught in the middle of a storm or get into an accident, but things happen and you should always be prepared.

So, if you are planning a long-distance drive, keep in mind those 5 things and make sure you have them in your car. To make sure you are prepared for virtually anything, feel free to check out  Lifehacker’s list of essentials.

And if you are moving to another state, consider hiring an auto transport company like Corsia Logistics. We will be happy to help you ship a car nationally and internationally with a peace of mind.

Ernie Roberts
Excellent and professional service at a competitive price. The vehicle showed up on time and the drivers were courteous and quick. We had to make a few adjustments on the delivery location because of roads etc but this was no problem. Great experience and I felt they took care of my car for me. This was my deceased mothers car so it has sentimental value to me and they really cared about the car. Thank you... Date of experience: October 29, 2024

I've used Corsia Logistics twice now to send a Porsche and classic Mercedes. Both times the car was picked up on time, the driver was communicative and on my second shipment, arrived a day earlier than scheduled. They have a tracking system, so I know where my car is at all times. I will continue to use Corsia for all my long-haul car transportation needs. Date of experience: October 28, 2024

We paid extra for a guaranteed date for pickup and they were able to pick up that day. The car arrived a day earlier than scheduled. The gentleman who transported was friendly and communicative. 100% would use this company again. Date of experience: September 30, 2024

Don’t hesitate to use them! Efficient, responsive, honest and affordable! I scheduled an enclosed carrier with them and received the car the same day it was picked up. Zero issues. Excellent service! Date of experience: September 17, 2024

I have used Corsia Logistics 4 times now with high end cars being transported from Northern Ca. to Southern Ca. and back. Each time the service has worked perfectly. Never an issue with timing, service or with my cars. I will continue to use this service in the future. Date of experience: June 10, 2024
