#1 Emergency Kit (TOT 19NAS04997C)
First things first: keeping an automotive emergency kit in your trunk or hatch is a good idea, especially considering most kits are in a small pouch so they don’t take up much space. Depending on the kit you choose, it can include everything from basic first aid supplies to jumper cables.

#2 Jumper Cables/Jump Starter
A jump starter is great to have around, even if your emergency kit includes jumper cables. The great thing about a jump starter is that, unlike jumper cables, it doesn’t require a second vehicle with a functional battery to get your vehicle started if your battery’s dead.

#3 Flashlight/Batteries
Needless to say, if you happen to get stranded in the dark, a flashlight can be a lifesaver. You may find yourself in a situation where you need to change a tire or check under the hood in the dark, and the flashlight on your phone COULD work, but a handheld flashlight or battery-powered lantern can allow you to see what you’re doing AND save the battery life of your phone for communication.

#4 Spare Tire
Most vehicles have a place specifically for storing a spare tire, and keeping a spare in your vehicle at all times can mean the difference between having to call a tow truck and driving to a tire shop for a repair or replacement. Even if it’s just a temporary donut, it’s worth having with you in case of a flat. You might also consider keeping Fix-a-Flat on hand for an even quicker way to get back on the road.

#5 Tire Change Necessities
A spare tire in your vehicle won’t do you any good if you’re not toting the tools to put it on when you need to. Keeping a jack and lug wrench handy is essential. It’s also a good idea to stash a tire pressure gauge and air pump somewhere in your vehicle so that if you put on the spare, you can be sure it’s properly inflated.

This video details the top 10 items to keep in your vehicle in case of an emergency. O’Reilly Auto Parts supplies a wide variety of the tools, parts, and equipment that can keep you safe in case you find yourself on the side of the road.

If you plan to take a road trip, if you drive an older car, or if you want to be as prepared as possible for an emergency, stop by your local O’Reilly Auto Parts store to find the best emergency supplies to keep in your vehicle.
