Whether you’re driving around Branford or Madison, you want the best car emergency kit to keep everyone safe. Land Rover North Haven has put together a guide with every major tip to help keep you secure.

Essential for Those Long Road Trips This Winter

If you’re driving to visit friends and family this winter, here are more items you should include:

  • Tow Strap: This is helpful if your Land Rover vehicle gets stuck in a ditch and you need another car to pull it out. Check your owner’s manual for more information on the proper way of using any tow strap.
  • Fire Extinguisher:Even if it’s unlikely, a fire extinguisher can come in handy when dealing with even a small flame. Some extinguishers are not geared for automotive use, so consult the extinguisher manual before use.
  • Long-Lasting Food and Water: If you’re going to be driving across state lines for hours, having snacks and drinks is an essential part. Protein bars, chips, cookies, and water are good choices; make sure they can last a few months before needing replacement.

If your car breaks down in poor weather, stay inside and remain with it until it’s safe to go out on your own. Police and emergency responders will have an easier time helping you if you remain in your car. Going out alone can pose numerous risks.
