The right car accessories make your life easier

	Car jacks and jack stands - jacks lift vehicles so that maintenance can be performed. Their maximum lifting capacity must always be higher than the weight of your car. Also important is their minimum and maximum lift height.
	Air compressors and inflators - these devices can inflate your vehicle's tires in a matter of seconds. With one of these, you'll never get stuck on the side of the road with a flat tire. You can also use them to inflate balls, inflatable mattresses, and other equipment. Selected models can also suck air, which is useful when you want to store an inflatable swimming pool for winter.
	Voltage converters - plug one of these into your cigarette lighter socket and you'll get a standard power plug which you can use to charge your telephone or laptop.
	Canisters - store fuel for long trips into the countryside and other places that are far from any gas station. Canisters are made either of plastic or metal.
	Cool boxes - when choosing a car refrigerator, make sure it will fit in the trunk or behind the front seats. There are different types of cool boxes on the market. Thermoelectric cool boxes use a fan to keep the contents to 30° below ambient temperature. Compressor cool boxes can even freeze to -18° C, but are bulky and use more power.
	Repellents and scarers -protective sprays and electric repellents designed to keep martens and rodents away from your car. Sprays produce a sticky layer of repellent which is great for protecting wiring or wheel housings. Electric deterrents emit an ultrasonic signal that reliably repels rodents but cannot be heard by people. To work properly, they have to be connected to the car battery and placed in the engine compartment.
	Alcohol Testers - usually in the form of breathalysers, alcohol testers will quickly analyse your residual blood alcohol level and tell you whether you're fit to drive or not.
	Parking assistants - parking sensors are useful especially for inexperienced drivers or those who drive large cars. The sensors are automatically activated when reverse gear is engaged. When you get close to an obstacle, an alert is triggered.
	Car vacuum cleaners - car vacuum cleaners are small and designed to reach even the most inaccessible crevices. With one of these, your car's interior will be spotless. Selected models feature a rechargeable battery and work without cables.
