Congratulations on finally getting the car you’ve always wanted! After all the toiling, wishing and saving you’ve finally acquired the car you wanted and so deserve. Exciting right? The journey doesn’t end here, though; you need to accessorise your car so that it can be more useful, better maintained and handy while giving it the aesthetic look you want. Here is a list of accessories you must have in your car.
Car Emergency Kit
One thing about life is that it is full of unknown variables meaning that you can never be too prepared for anything. You never know when next you’ll be stuck on the roadside due to a tyre puncture, late at night and all alone or when your car battery decides to take a quick nap on you. You should, therefore, have an emergency kit ready for these kinds of situations. An emergency kit with a flashlight, spare wheel, jumper cables and first aid kit may just be the difference between a manageable situation and you being stranded. You must have an emergency kit in your car if you care about your safety.
Phone Mount
Imagine that you’re going for a long-distance journey to a place you’ve never been to before and the only way you can get there is by using the navigation tool on your phone. Would it be conducive for you to keep checking your phone and continuously having to lock and unlock it while it lies on your lap? We don’t think so and we are sure you don’t think so as well. To make life easier for you, just invest in putting a phone mount on your dashboard. That way, your life will be made easier for you.
Car Charger
There’s nothing more annoying than a silent trip all caused by your phone battery which decided to die on you. Having a phone charger is convenient and helpful as you get to listen to your music and get your calls while your phone is charging. This is also conducive for areas without power as you get to periodically charge your phone whenever you want to.
Seat Covers
You should invest in good seat covers to avoid damaging your actual car seats and to reduce the overall depreciation of your car. Car seat covers are especially important if you have children as spills and snack crumbs being smudged everywhere are inevitable when it comes to little ones. Design your car seats and have them made in a way that resonates with your style. Not only will they protect your car, but they will do it stylishly, improving your overall car aesthetic.
Floor Mats
Imagine directly disposing of all the dirt you have been stepping on all day into your car. Especially on rainy days, those muddy shoes can do a lot of damage to your car. This is why you need car floor mats, as they ensure that all the dirt and mud you’ve stepped all day go directly on it, making it easy to clean off. You can even go for very colourful mats to improve the look and feel of your car so that you make this must-have item a fun addition to your car.
Steering Cover
The plastic feel of most car wheels is not the best feeling for your hands when driving. This is because it can get a little slippery, difficult to grip and hard on the hands. To avoid having to go through this dilemma, you need to invest in a car steering cover. This plush and comfy addition will make driving more fun while also giving character to your car. This must-have item will transform your driving experience and car aesthetic all at once.
Car Cover
The weather does not stop doing its thing because you have bought your car. If you especially have to park your car on exposed ground all day, a car cover is a no-brainer. We don’t want the paint on your car to start peeling off slowly, do we? Neither do we want to expose it to the dirt that will accumulate on it during the day. By having this accessory, you get to protect your car and make it more durable and less hardened whenever you want to sell it. This also helps you to keep your car clean and free from bug attacks when you are not using it. Adding this to your car will be a worthwhile investment for your car; thus, car covers are a must-have item on our list.
Key Finder
No scientist can ever fully decipher how keys are constantly lost all the time. One minute, you may be holding your keys, and the next minute, you won’t find even a trace of them. Now imagine this: you are late for work and you rush to your car door, only to realize that you don’t have your car keys on you. You then go back into your house in search of them but you can’t find them anywhere. This has to be one of the most annoying things ever right? By having a key finder, you’ll be able to locate your car keys in a jiffy, saving you both your time and energy. If this isn’t a convenient accessory, we don’t know what is.
Window Tint
Something is intriguing and mystique about having tinted car windows. This is one weapon fashioned against all the peeping Toms which you should amour yourself with. The car tint also primarily protects you from direct sun exposure on those really hot days, keeping your car interior cooler and your skin protected.
