Buying auto accessories is akin to going to an old-fashioned candy store and picking out your favorite treats.

When you walk into an auto accessories store, plan to spend plenty of time there as each aisle offers something new and different you may or may not have thought of buying for your car.

Today, most of spend more time traveling back and forth to work by car than any other form of transportation. In addition, taking family trips by car has become the norm, rather than the exception.

Thus, ensuring that your car has everything it needs in case of a roadside emergency is important. So too, having accessories for auto that enhance the driving experience adds icing to the cake.

Some of the auto accessories that are essential to any new car owner are: first aid kits, clubs, blanket, exterior and interior care kits, detailing kits, covers for the seats and steering wheel, extra wiper blades, organizers, sun shades, gauges, extra interior light bulbs, adapters, cell phone holders, and some of the newest auto accessory devices such as GPS systems and cameras.

A car is more than a new toy; it is the means by which you safely arrive to point B from point A. Maintaining the car on a regular basis can ensure that you and members of your family not only enjoy the time spent together but are comfortable as well.

There is one auto accessory which, quite frankly, should be part of the new car experience - a new spare tire, instead of a donut. One of the arguments one could make is that after spending thousands of dollars on a new car, you would think that the auto industry could spring for a new spare tire.

The problem is that there is a safety concern. Surely, you have been in situations where a flat tire occurred on a highway either to or from work, on a road or business trip. Let's face it; the donut does not in any way suffice nor does it offer any relief from the stress associated with driving on this meager tire.

Thus, when shopping for auto accessories it may be necessary to buy a spare tire so that you can alleviate any worry that you or any family member will be able to arrive at their destination safely and without undue stress.

Protect Your Investment

So, you've plunked down some cash and buy yourself a car. Now it's time to take a few easy steps to help protect your auto's interior and your investment.

One of the most inexpensive accessories you can buy is a simple window shade for the inside of the windshield. Folding or collapsing window shades come in many sizes and shapes as well as colors and patterns so you can find one to match or compliment your interior.

Unlike window tinting, these types of protective window shades are not attached to the window so they are portable and need no installation. They will provide shade for your dashboard and steering wheel so they will help to protect your dashboard from cracking as well as keeping your interior a bit cooler.

Another inexpensive way to protect the interior of your auto is with floor mats. Like window shades, floor mats also come in many colors and designs so you're sure to find a set that suits your taste.

They can play a crucial role in the maintenance of your car's interior by keeping the carpeting of you car clean and free from all the mud, dirt and oil stains tracked in on the feet of you and your passengers.

Floor mats also come in a variety of materials, from carpet to rubber and vinyl. These days you can even find your favorite car logo or cartoon characters printed on them.

Lastly, investing in an affordable set of seat covers is a must-do.

If your car is new, using car seat covers keeps you free from having to worry about stains, rips or scratches in your upholstery.

If your car is a bit older, a new pair of seat covers can make your car look like it has new seats. They can brighten up your car while covering any defects like torn or shabby looking seats.

If you taxi around kids or pets a set of seat covers will give you peace of mind. If anyone has an accident or spills food or drinks on your seats you can either wash them or quickly and easily get a new pair.

Auto seat covers come in everything from zebra and leopard patterns to solids and Hawaiian print seat covers so no matter what the model or color of your car, you're sure to find car seat covers you'll enjoy.

It's fun and easy to protect your new investment or spruce up an old jalopy with any or all of these affordable accessories for your car.

Rental car companies are known for having well-kept, smooth-running vehicles that often are used for driving long distances. However, rental car companies also realize the value of maintaining their vehicles so that repair costs are kept to a minimum. These companies do so by investing in a cache of auto accessories that extend the life of a car or truck while still maintaining a high level of visual appeal.

One accessory that you will find on many newer car models is a GPS tracking device. This is a particularly important feature for car rental companies as many of their cars are rented by drivers who are unfamiliar with the particular area in which they are driving. A GPS tracking device will ensure that customers don't get lost while traveling and this gives the rental company added peace of mind in knowing that there is less of a chance that something will happen to their vehicle while being rented.

Bumper guards also serve to protect the rental car as accidents can happen to anyone. A bumper guard lessens the chances that a simple bump from another vehicle will cause major damage to the rented vehicle. Moreover, this eases the insurance burden for the rental company as most insurance companies will give you a better rate for having bumper guards on your vehicle.

Seat covers are another sound investment by a rental car company. Because cars are rented by different types of people all the time, it's hard to gauge whether or not the car's interior is being cared for as it should be. A seat cover will take away the question and provide protection and comfort to the largest part of the interior upholstery. They can be purchased in neutral colors to blend in with the car's interior, making them almost unnoticeable.

There are a number of other vehicle accessories that rental car companies can invest in to ensure that the car remains in top condition. What's more, these small additions don't require a great deal of overhead on the part of the company, so they can be integrated into the company's entire fleet of vehicles. Improvements in rental car vehicles will only add to the value of the fleet, thereby increasing profits for the company as a whole.
