When it comes to road travel, preparation is key for you and your travel companions' safety. It's harder to get what you need if you're on roads that you're not very familiar with, which is why you should pack some items to prepare yourself in case of emergencies. Before you hit the highway for your next journey, please make sure you pack the following items:

• Jumper cables 
• A spare tire and other tire-changing tools (ex. jack, gloves, etc.)
• A first aid kit 
• Water and non-perishable food items
• Phone chargers
• Batteries
• Blankets 
• Your license, registration, ID, and any other important paperwork
• Map or other backup directional documents 
• Road flares
• Multi-tool
• Flashlight 
• Fun, entertaining activities (games, books, music, etc.)
• Bottle of windshield washer fluid
• Winter/snow equipment, depending on areas of travel
• Motor oil, coolant, and gasoline for back-up
• Cash
