Whatever car you drive, it can be good to have a few accessories along for the ride. These might perform functional purposes or serve to personalise your car a little and make it feel more like your own, and in some cases, they might even do both at once. There are a huge number of accessories out there at the moment, so we have picked some of the favourites that you will want for 2024.
Very few of us go anywhere without our mobile phones these days, but we all know the dangers of using them when we are driving. Whilst you could lock them away in the glove box or keep them in your bag, they can still serve a purpose by providing navigation assistance or playing music, so it is good to have them close to hand. Installing a mobile phone holder in your car therefore seems essential these days as it will allow you to make use of the phone’s great features safely and legally.
These holders are relatively inexpensive and can attach to your dashboard, windscreen or air vents without much difficulty, just make sure you check that the holder can accommodate your model of phone.
We can often neglect the boot of our cars, but it is one of the areas that we put under the most stress. We are quite happy to throw shopping, prams, golf clubs and tools in the back without a second thought, but this can lead to it getting scruffy very quickly.
A custom car boot liner is therefore the perfect accessory for the back of your car, as it offers some fantastic protection. These liners are often made from a thick, quilted material, and don’t just cover the floor of your boot, but the sides as well, meaning that your car is shielded from scratches, dirt and moisture.
The liner simply clips in place and can then be removed and put into the washing machine when it is muddy or has been subject to a spillage. Many examples can even be personalised, so that you can have them in any colour, and some come with a bumper flap to help prevent scratches and scuffs to your paintwork when loading the car.
We are seeing more and more dash cams appearing in cars, and this trend looks set to continue in 2024. They record whatever goes on around your car, therefore providing evidence in the event of an accident or catching thieves on camera.
This not only makes them a worthwhile deterrent to criminals but can also make it much easier to prove your case if anything happens whilst on the road. They are so effective that many insurance companies now offer discounts on your premiums if you have one fitted in your car.
We all love to take our dogs on adventures with us, but our cars can suffer as a result, so why not give them their own car pet bed.
Made from soft and cosy quilted material, these beds provide a comfortable spot for your dog to relax in, without needing to worry about claw marks, muddy paws or little accidents, as these beds are easily washable. Car pet beds are a great accessory as they mean that your pet can travel in comfort and style whilst the interior of your car stays protected.
We all know how quickly your car can become untidy. Whether it is sweet wrappers, cigarette butts or pay and display tickets, our cars can soon fill up with litter. These either make their way to the floor or overflow out of door pockets every time you get out of the car.
Car bins are therefore popping up more and more frequently as a way to keep your car looking spick and span. They fit conveniently into cup holders or door pockets and give you the perfect space to dispose of your rubbish, and they can then be emptied easily whenever needed.
Not many of us think about it, but a first aid kit should be an essential accessory for any car. Whether you are involved in an accident or simply have a child with a scraped knee, you never know when you might need one.
There are pre-prepared kits that you can buy, or you could put your own together. It might be worth ensuring that it includes things like plaster, bandages, pain killers, sun cream, after sun lotion, bite cream, hay fever medication and antiseptic cream to cover all eventualities.
The queues at petrol stations to inflate your tyres always seem to take forever, and it can seem ridiculous to pay for air, so make sure you have your own tyre inflator in your boot. This means you can pop up your tyres at home whenever you need to, and you can deal with slow puncture while you are out and about to help get you home.
We are so reliant on our devices, and it can be a nightmare when we run out of battery. With some cars, you might need your phone to unlock the vehicle, you might need sat nav facilities, or the kids might want to watch YouTube in the back seat.
None of this is possible with a flat battery, so have a digital battery charger on hand to save the day. You will need to remember to charge this too at some point, but most have different ports that allow you to plug in all sorts of different devices and keep the peace for the journey home.
Our cars are now much more than just a tool to get us from one place to another. They perform so many functions, and we ask a lot of them, so it can be great to add a few key accessories that will make this task easier, so these are the ones we recommend you look at adding to your car this year.
