Travel Emergency Kit

When traveling around in your Richmond Nissan, anything can happen. Your car can malfunction, you could get into an accident, get stuck in a major traffic jam or face weather-related crisis. The key to successfully navigating an emergency situation is to be prepared.

One essential to have stored in your Nissan at all times is an emergency kit that you can rely on in the event you become stranded in your car. An emergency kit should contain a flashlight, extra batteries, jumper cables, road flares, a help sign, extra car fluids, electrical tape, and even extra fuses for your vehicle if applicable.

It also does hurt to keep extra clothing, a blanket, gloves, and toilet paper in your Richmond Nissan in case you ever need them. It is good to stock a few non-perishable food items or snacks and bottled water to keep you going if you are stuck on your own, especially if you are traveling with children.

For drivers traveling during the winter in and out of Richmond, VA, it may be wise to carry a portable shovel and a bag of cat litter to help if traction becomes a problem when you get stuck in snow and ice.

Pence Nissan wants all their customers to hit the road safely and prepared in case something should happen. Remember to keep your supplies updated and regularly check to be sure your supplies are in working order. Don’t pack the emergency kit just for long-distance travel either. You should keep your new or used Nissan stocked with supplies even for a short daily commute. You may never need to use the supplies stored in your Nissan’s truck but should disaster strike, you’ll be glad it’s there.
