Me nothing, I don't even have keys on my car keys, just a single keyfob

I only will ever have things I have left in the car
A jacket, golfclubs, sat nav, sunglasses, etc

A phone charger cable and USB adaptor thingy
There's usually a bottle of water in there

That's it in the cabin basically - man I'm boring.

Serious answer, toolbox, rope, gaffer tape, cable ties, torch, first aid kit, glow sticks, a few liters of water, an ice box (sometimes filled with beer / food).

To be fair, i don't drive in Europe.

Other serious answer, the Rope, Gaffer Tape and cable ties aren't just for tying up victims before throwing them in the back ......

You forgot amoxycillan...

I've only used the trolley jack etc once for myself when I got a puncture, although I've used them, the coats and tow strap several times for assisting others

Sometimes on longer journeys I'll bring a trolley jack with me.
