How’s your community quarantine so far? Had you been driving more now as compared to months ago? As the community quarantine restrictions are being eased out, more and more are going out of their homes trying to adapt to the new normal.

With petroleum prices ever-increasing while we are still in a pandemic, the key to have more efficient drives are to have the best car accessories. Allow me to list down some of the best car accessories for more efficient drives.

Key Finder

If you are someone like me who easily gets annoyed when I cannot find something, a key finder is your best friend if you are driving. Perhaps, this is the best solution to never ever lose your car keys again. The device easily attaches to your key ring and is synched via Bluetooth with your smartphone. You may then track where your keys are using GPS on an app (usually provided by the device manufacturer). In addition, you may also use this gadget for other items, not just keys.

Car Charger

If you are a mobile warrior, another must-have gadget to have inside your vehicle is a car charger. Though newer car models have USB outlets already integrated into the dashboard, most still rely on the good old car lighter port for auxiliary power.

Smartphone Mount or Holder

The Anti-Distracted Driving Act bars you from you using your smartphone while driving — read and interpreted as holding your smartphone while driving. But the same law allows the use of smartphone mounts and holders, especially if you are someone using your device for navigation.

Air Compressor

Having not much air or worst, a deflated tire while on the road is truly a nightmare. One device that I ensure is always with me when driving is an air compressor. You never know how near (or far) the next gas station with a working air pump will be.

Jumper Cables

Drivers old and new will agree to me that having a good set of jumper cables is also a must-have in the trunk of your car. You may never know when you will be stranded somewhere and will need a helping hand from strangers passing by. It is always a good thing to be ready and prepared.

Dash Mount Camera

In the age of technology, it is a matter of verifying one’s word against another during incidents and accidents. Perhaps what can be considered as a standard gadget all vehicles must have these days is a dash mount camera (or dashcam). Having your drives recorded works as a protection for yourself, and as well as for others on the road.
