Get An Organizer

There are many products that can help keep your trunk organized. The key is knowing what will work best for your lifestyle and having a designated spot for items. Shower caddies work wonders when it comes to storing a few small things or fluids for your vehicle. Bigger organizers can be utilized to store bigger items and/ or keep them from rolling around in your trunk. 

 

Keep It Out Of Your Trunk

Don’t get in the habit of tossing things back there, keep unnecessary items out of your trunk in the first place. Items like your purse, reusable shopping bags, or other small items can be kept up front for easy accessibility. Keeping these items out of your trunk will keep them from spilling over or piling up. 

 

Contain The Mess 

Once your trunk is organized, try to maintain it. An organized trunk can guarantee that you’ll avoid spills, damage, and potential injury. Keep tie-down straps, pets, and cargo barriers in your trunk for those times when you need to secure something a little tighter or your pet is along for the road trip too. 

 

Must-Haves For Your Car

While you are organizing, it is important to keep your vehicle equipped with a few certain things.

  • Pen and pad of paper
  • Cell phone charger 
  • Vehicle’s owner manual, proof of insurance, and a copy of your registration. 
  • First aid kit
  • Jacket, hat, gloves, and a blanket
  • Spare tire and jack, and jumper cables
