Long highway drives, desert trips and extreme summer heat put extra demands on drivers in the UAE. Keeping a few essentials in the car means you are ready for the common situations, from a soft tyre to a dead phone.
Safety first
- Tyre inflator. Heat changes tyre pressure, and under-inflated tyres wear faster. A car tyre air compressor plugs into the car and lets you top up at home or at the roadside.
- Emergency window breaker. A window breaker hammer with seatbelt cutter should be within the driver's reach, not in the boot.
- Warning triangle and first aid kit. Check both are in the boot and the first aid kit is in date.
- Phone mount. Using a hand-held phone while driving is a traffic offence in the UAE. A car phone holder keeps navigation in view.
Beat the heat
- Windshield sun shade. A reflective sun shade helps keep the cabin and steering wheel cooler when parked.
- Cold drinks. A 12V mini car fridge or a heating and cooling cup holder is handy on long drives.
Stay organised
- Boot organiser. A trunk organiser box stops shopping and tools sliding around.
- Seat gap filler. A seat gap organiser catches phones, keys and coins before they fall under the seat.
- Tissue holder. A sun visor tissue holder keeps tissues off the dashboard, where heat can damage plastic items.
Keep it looking good
- Headlight care. Strong sun can make headlights cloudy over time. Headlight restoration wipes help improve clarity on light haze.
