There’s still over a month of summer left, so make sure you’re prepared for any adventure you may face whilst in your car with a list of our top essential items!
Who doesn’t love an impromptu picnic?
You could be driving around after a long day of shopping, adventuring or walking and decide you need something to eat. Grab some food to go and find some green space and you’ll be prepared with your blanket.
This can also be used for stargazing late at night or for an area to let the kids play. Also, they’re great to have in your car if you’re going to a festival and want somewhere to sit when the grass is a bit damp!
Finally, if all else fails, they’re great to have in your boot just in case you come back with dirty shoes and don’t want to dirty the car.
The summer heat can feel unbearable sometimes, especially in your car. Make sure you stay hydrated with a bottle of water at all times.
This is also handy as the traffic in the UK can be unpredictable, it’d be awful to get stuck on a motorway with nothing to drink and keep you alert.
Staying hydrated is important when making sure you’re feeling fit to drive especially for long distance journeys!
On a hot summer’s day, the last thing you want to do is get into a boiling hot car, so prepare for this.
Having a reflective windscreen shield will mean your car is cooler and ready for you to get in to at any point!
Getting a windscreen shield now will also benefit you in the winter as they prevent a build-up of snow and ice.
You’ll probably have your cigarette lighter to charge up your phone, but you may be using it for a dash cam or sat nav. Don’t be caught short, always have your phone charged in case of emergency or just for capturing summer memories with your family and friends.
Keeping a power bank in your car will mean you’re always prepared and never have to miss a moment of capturing pictures out and about!
Yes, the summer weather has been great, but let’s face it this is the UK. The weather is unpredictable.
Always keep a light waterproof in your car so you’re prepared for whatever weather it is. This will also be helpful if you go on a spontaneous walk or even if you, unfortunately, ended up breaking down.
