Organize Your Vehicle In A Jiffy

If you’re looking for a great weekend project to do in your vehicle, try getting organized! Organizing your vehicle is not only easy, but the final product is incredibly satisfying and useful. Summer is the season for road trips, and it’s always great to make sure your vehicle is in order before traveling so that you can ensure everyone is comfortable and has space for their stuff. Take a look at our tips for organizing your vehicle and give them a try before your next long drive!

1. Lots of passengers but not enough places to store essentials? Stick small suction cup shower caddies to the window to store things like water bottles, toys, wipes, and anything else that you don’t want getting stuck under your seat.
2. Make sure you have a trash can in the vehicle. It can be as simple as a plastic bag or as hardcore as a specifically-designed car trash can, but you should make sure that you have a solution for debris and junk.
3. Always have a fully-stocked emergency kit in the vehicle. This is just basic!
4. Don’t have a place for change? Use an empty gum container or pill bottle. Perfect for tolls!
5. Silicone muffin cups at the bottoms of cupholders make it REALLY easy to clean those suckers out. Just pull out the muffin cups and throw them in the dishwasher when they’re really grody.
6. Bringing candy on a road trip? Stick the pieces between the slats on your air vent to keep them from melting with the summer heat.
7. Keep your glove compartment neat. When you’re traveling, especially to a different state, you’re definitely going to need your registration, insurance, and license in case you get pulled over. It’s also just a good idea to keep that spot organized!
8. Use a binder clip to hold your sunglasses on your visor when it’s dark out. Now they won’t get lost!
9. If you drive an SUV or hatchback, use a shoe organizer hung from the back of the rear seats as a trunk organizer so small stuff doesn’t go flying and you have all the essentials on hand.
10. Don’t want to lose your spare key? Use a magnetic key holder to store your key under your car. Make sure it’s attached to a spot that is both magnetic AND tucked into a relatively secure spot to avoid getting knocked off or damaged.
