Organize Your Vehicle
Do you ever think twice about giving someone a lift because your car is in a perpetual state of disorganization? Since January is Get Organized Month, now is a great opportunity to dedicate some time to your vehicle to get it clean and tidy. Luckily, this doesn’t have to be a long and expensive process. Check out these tips below!
Declutter
As with any cleaning project, you want to start by evaluating what you have in your vehicle. Do you have trash that has been sitting there for a while? Do you have out of date paper maps? Recycle or throw away what you don’t need to keep in your car, and re-evaluate what you do keep.
Sort Out the Paperwork
You’ll need to keep some forms of paperwork in your vehicle. Ensure you have the necessary documents, along with a print-out of your insurance coverage, vehicle details, and paid vehicle registration fees.
Clean Up
Once you’ve decluttered it, now is the time to give it a good clean! Wash the outside, vacuum the inside, and wipe down the interiors. Ensure you wipe down the mirrors and windows well, leaving no smears that could distort your vision.
Use a Shower Caddy Car Fluids Organizer
If you break down on the side of the road, that motor oil does you no good sitting at home. Be on the safe side and keep a few small bottles of the essentials tucked away in a shower caddy.
Make Better Use of the Space
Enjoy your car’s vertical space by using climbing carabiners as bag hooks. Simply clip them behind the headrest. They’re great for transporting your purse, gym bag, groceries, and more!
Stock Your Emergency Supply Kit
Ensure that you have the basic supplies in your vehicle for when you need them the most. Stock up on jumper cables, repair tools, a first kit, blankets, flashlight, batteries, and water.
Keeping your car safe on the roads helps to protect the vehicle as well as your wallet. If you’re looking for the right car insurance, contact Chambers & Company Insurance Brokers today.
