I definitely second Stephanie's suggestion of AAA; they've saved me more than once from troublesome automotive situations. As for what else to keep in your car, it depends on how automotively inclined you are; keeping spark plugs, a spare battery, and other items to fix minor problems could prove to be helpful, at least if you have the talent and inclination to use them.

Nothing like being able to inflate your own tire anywhere! Most of them nowadays also come with a large flash light or other random features, so they're usually worth the price tag. Another expensive thing to "have" in your car: AAA. It's great because it's tied to YOU, not necessarily your car. And spring for the "Plus" version that lets you be towed more than five miles. I called AAA a few weeks ago when the boyfriend and I were in Niagara Falls and he got a bolt in his tire. We both had AAA, but I had the better one, so we ended up using mine. Also, AAA gave us a half price discount to get the tire replaced at Good Year, so it didn't end up ruining our trip or my boyfriend's wallet!
