The Essential Car Emergency Kit Checklist

A good car emergency kit turns a stressful breakdown into a minor inconvenience. Whether you commute daily or road-trip on weekends, these are the essentials to keep in your boot.

The checklist

• Portable jump starter (for a dead battery) • Tyre inflator (for slow leaks and flats) • Power bank (to keep your phone alive) • Torch or LED light • First-aid kit • Reflective triangle or hazard light • Tow strap and gloves • Water and a phone charger

One device, half the kit

Notice the first four items? A 4-in-1 jump starter with a built-in air compressor, power bank and LED light — like the Trendora BoostCompress — covers all of them in a single compact unit. It's the smartest way to be prepared without filling your boot.

Keep it charged

An emergency tool only helps if it has power. Top up your jump starter every few months and after each use so it's ready when you need it.

Build your kit once and drive with confidence all year round.
