12 Car Gadgets for the Ultimate Road Trip

Everyone loves a great road trip. Whether you're going hiking for the day, camping out for several nights, or driving cross country with friends or family, you should always plan and be prepared for all possibilities.

Before traveling, it's a great idea to equip your car with the right safety accessories and fun gadgets, so you can spend the rest of your time on the most important part of road tripping: having fun!

These are 12 essential car gadgets to consider for your next road trip. For ample comfortability, consider investing in a roof cargo storage, so you can make more room for those items you need to access more regularly, like food. And speaking of food, the Arctic Cooler and Tayama Thermal Cooker are great investments to store your food at the right temperature during those long trips.

With safety top of mind, don't forget a first aid kit, jump starter, and air pump. It's also a good idea to upgrade your car tech for safety. We love the Hudway head-up glass display for your phone, and YI mirror dash cam for emergency recordings and driver fatigue alerts.
