Driving a car isn’t only an easy way to get from A to B, but also a great way to explore the beauty and diversity of South Africa. However, as any driver knows, there are some risks and challenges that come with owning and operating a car. That’s why it’s important to be ready for any situation that may happen and to have some handy gadgets in your car that can make your life easier and safer.

In this blog post, we’ll share with you the 5 must-have gadgets for your car, and how they can benefit you in different scenarios. We’ll also let you in on how you can protect your car and pocket with King Price’s car insurance options.

A first aid kit

A first aid kit is a must-have gadget for any car owner, as it can help you deal with minor injuries or emergencies that may happen on the road. Whether it’s a cut, burn, sprain, or an allergic reaction, having a first aid kit in your car can help you treat the wound, stop the bleeding, reduce the pain, or prevent infection. A basic first aid kit should include items such as plasters, gauze, antiseptic, painkillers, scissors, tweezers, gloves, and a CPR mask. You can buy a ready-made kit from a pharmacy or online, or you can make your own by following the guidelines from a reputable health provider.

A jump starter

A jump starter is a device that can help you start your car when the battery is dead or low. It works by connecting 2 clamps to the terminals of your car battery and then pressing a button to deliver a burst of power. A jump starter can save you from the hassle of calling a tow truck or waiting for someone to help you with jumper cables. It can also be used to charge your phone, laptop, or other devices, as it usually has a USB port and a torch. A jump starter is a compact and portable gadget that you can easily store in your boot or cubby hole. You can find different models and prices online.

A tyre pressure gauge

A tyre pressure gauge is a tool that can help you measure the air pressure in your tyres. Having the right tyre pressure is essential for your car’s performance, safety, and fuel efficiency. Under-inflated tyres can cause poor handling, increased wear, and a higher risk of blowouts. Over-inflated tyres can reduce traction, comfort, and braking ability. A tyre pressure gauge can help you check your tyre pressure regularly and adjust it according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. You can use a digital, analogue, or pencil-type gauge, and follow the instructions on how to use it correctly. You can also find some petrol stations or service centres that offer free air pumps and gauges.

A dash cam

A dash cam is a camera that can record the view from your windscreen or rear window. It can help you capture evidence of accidents, traffic violations, road rage, or theft. A dash cam can also help you monitor your driving habits, improve your skills, or enjoy the scenery. A dash cam can be mounted on your dashboard, windscreen, or rearview mirror, and connected to your car’s power source or battery. It can have various features such as HD resolution, night vision, motion detection, GPS, or Wi-Fi.

A car vacuum cleaner

A car vacuum cleaner can help you keep your car interior clean and tidy. It can help you remove dust, dirt, crumbs, pet hair, that annoying toy your child needs to forget (quickly) or spills on your seats, floor mats, dashboard, or boot. A car vacuum cleaner can also help you prevent odours, allergens, or bacteria from accumulating in your car. A car vacuum cleaner can be corded or cordless and has different attachments and accessories to suit your needs.
