7 “Must-Haves” to Keep in Your Glove Box

12:23 am by Sheri in Uncategorized

1. Current Insurance Papers

Each time you receive new insurance and registration papers, throw out the old and keep the new in your glove box. A clear plastic envelope or bag keeps them neat and easy to access.

2. State Emissions Form

If your state requires environmental emissions checks, make sure you keep your most recent form handy as proof your vehicle passed the tests.

3. Auto Club Membership

If you belong to an auto club, keep the membership in your glove box. After all, your vehicle is the only place you will need this. It’s also a good idea to keep one of the membership cards in your wallet in case you lock your keys in the car. Of course, keeping an extra car key in your wallet is an even better idea!

4. List of Emergency Phone Numbers

Sure, you have them in your cell, but what if you don’t have your phone with you when you find yourself in an accident? If you keep a list of emergency phone numbers in your glove box, you’ll still have the numbers you need.

5. Disposable Camera

Again, you may have a camera in your cell phone, but it’s still a good idea to keep a disposable camera in your glove box. It can be absolutely invaluable in an accident as you may need photos as proof for your insurance company or even in court.

6. Pad of Paper and Pens

A small pad of paper and a few pens don’t take up much room in the glove box and they can be used for writing down the details of an accident or for quick directions without a GPS.

7. Extra Parking/Toll Change

Keeping some emergency money out of sight in the glove box is a great idea in case parking fees are more than you thought or you hit an unexpected toll. If you use the change for an “emergency” Big Mac one day, just remember to replenish the fund when you can!
