What is the first thing you would do after the Corona virus pandemic gets over? Hang out with friends? Go to Bali? Maybe the beach? Well, if you ask me I definitely would be going on a long trip accompanied by friends to Atlantis! Long trips never get boring (unless you’re alone) but what could make your trip even better is cool car accessories. But hang on there. By ‘cool car accessories’ we certainly do not mean ‘wings for cars’ or a Bluetooth chandelier that would sing for you all day long. But rather an actual, practical list of car accessories that would make your driving experience better than ever!
We’ve put together a list of the best and most useful auto accessories that you can find in Dubai! Read more to find out!
1.Car Finder
Do you ever find yourself looking for your lost car in a parking lot? Or do you have a habit of parking somewhere else, far from your actual destination? If yes is the answer then a car finder is what you need. Among all the car finders available in the market our choice is the ZUS-Nonda smart car finder and charger. Not only does it automatically save the exact location where you parked, it also charges your smartphone.
It comes with two charging slots and is surprisingly a very fast charger! When the time comes to find your car, open the ZUS app (compatible for both ios and android) and be guided back to your car.
2. Car Vacuum Cleaner
Whether single or married you’ll need this one. What’s the feeling that you get when your coffee or chai spills during a drive or even if the chips fall to the ground? Do you get annoyed? angry? or feel helpless? Well none of the above for me because I own a car vacuum cleaner that does its job perfectly. This isn’t the ordinary vacuum cleaners we have at home but rather a small wireless compatible vacuum that cleans up dry and wet debris from every nook and corner of your car. It’s always best to keep it in your car so that it can be used easily. A must buy I must say.
3.Dash Cam
Everybody knows what a dashcam is but the question is do you really need it? From a user’s perspective, I would say yes.
God forbid you met an accident that wasn’t because of your fault, in that case, the dash camera would capture the entire scene and would benefit you in assigning fault to the other person. Not only this, but your insurance premiums can also go up! Not to forget the dash cam can’t cover for you if you caused the accident, it records what it records.
Summarizing that this could be a very helpful car accessory for you. Some of the best dash cams available in Dubai are the Xiaomi 70Mai Dashcam, Nextbase 3052, and the Tryace Dual Dashcam. (all available on Amazon.ae and electronic stores as well)
4.Rare View Mirror Film
We all hate driving in the rain but this invention just made our lives better. A rare view mirror film is a protective anti-fog, anti-glare, and a waterproof sticker that comes in two shapes; square and circle. You can cut it according to your preference and paste in on your rearview mirrors on days you feel the sun won’t cooperate. It’s lightweight, will protect you from accidents and costs around 20 dirhams! make sure you check these out.
5.Glass breaker hammer
More than a car accessory it’s a life-saving tool. A glass breaker hammer is a two-in-one tool that has a hammer as well as a seat belt cutter. It is extensively used to help in the emergency extraction of passengers stuck in any vehicle in case of an accident. A not so fancy yet life-saving tool everyone must own.
6.Back seat and trunk organizer
a must-have accessory for a family man. You can store everything from books, food, toys to electronics and gadgets in these large mesh organizers. These come separately, one for the back seat and the other for the trunk of the car. While food, gadgets, tissue boxes can be stored in the back seat organizer, other heavy or not so frequently used items can be stored in the trunk organizer.
7.Tire Inflator
A short horror story: your car’s tire gets punctured in the middle of the road and the mechanic’s shop is far. What would you do? Well only if you have a tire inflator in the back of your car this nightmare won’t be that scary.
Tire inflators are of two types; digital and manual. We prefer digital ones. A digital tire inflator typically takes around 2-3 minutes to fill in the tire and is portable. You can store it in your trunk organizer or if you don’t have one just simply place it in the trunk of your car and use it whenever needed. You should note that a tire inflator does a temporary job. It can suffice your tire until you reach the tire shop but won’t last forever. You will need to refill your tire from the mechanic in a popper way.
8.Rooftop tent
love camping? Then this one is a must buy. You can pitch your tent on top of the car roof after parking your car in a suitable location. It takes roughly a minute to set these tents up and provides a comfortable space for all. There are many options available in the market such as 2,3,4,5 or more-person roof tents and you can buy them according to your requirement. Most roof tents have a window that provides a view of the stars and sky, guaranteeing a unique camping experience.
9.Inflatable Car Bed
A car-compatible air bed that fits perfectly onto the rear seat making it a comfortable bed for you to sleep in. These beds are compatible with both SUVs and sedans and include two air pillows, one electric car air pump, a repair kit, and a storage bag. A good reason to buy one is if you’re traveling and want to take a rest, instead of splurging on a hotel room you can spend the night in your car at your own comfort. Also if you have a pet along with you this air mattress is a great idea to give them ample comfort to sleep.
10.Drive Bot
A drive bot takes care of your car- it’s like a Fitbit for your car.
The makers behind the ‘drive bot’ have made this a Bluetooth equipped device that sends information about your vehicle’s status back and forth to your smartphone. All you gotta do is plug the dongle in the OBD-II port of your car, then connect the ‘drive bot’ to your smartphone through Bluetooth. And you’re ready to receive notifications about the problems in your car.
