7 essential accessories for a new car

When spending a large amount of money to buy a car, new drivers should also equip themselves with some necessary accessories to protect and avoid damage to their beloved car and strengthen their driving experience.

1. Dash cam

Devices previously considered modern technology toys on cars have now become popular. Dash cams not only help record beautiful moments on the road but also are a savior when the car encounters a collision or accident. Images extracted from the dash cam will prove and clearly indicate the vehicle and cause of the collision, helping the authorities have a basis to resolve the incident in the most accurate way.

To choose the best camera for the money, users should pay attention to the resolution (should be 1080p) and buy a high-end memory card.

2. Reverse sensor, reverse camera

Cheap cars are rarely equipped with rear cameras or even rear sensors. This is a very useful device, especially for new drivers when moving in crowded streets. This device will maximize its effectiveness in cases of parking and reversing into narrow spaces.

For cars without a central screen, users can only install a reverse sensor to save costs. Meanwhile, the car screen can be used to integrate images from the reverse camera for support vehicles.

3. Convex mirror

Reversing into a parking lot is a nightmare for many new drivers. Therefore, the car should be equipped with a convex mirror to help the driver easily measure the distance and reduce the blind spots of the car.

4. Anti-collision door trim

This is a mistake many new drivers and passengers make when opening car doors in tight spaces. Adding anti-collision door trim will prevent unnecessary scratches to the car.

Tire pressure sensor

This is a small device attached to the tire that brings many practical benefits, especially on long journeys. The tire pressure sensor helps the driver to detect which tire has abnormally reduced pressure so that it can be quickly handled and replaced.

5. Heat insulation film

Installing heat-insulating film will ensure comfort for people in the car, avoid strong sunlight and reduce heat when moving the car during hot weather, while ensuring privacy in the car.

6. Leather seat covers

For cold countries, leather seat covers may not be necessary. However, with hot climates like Vietnam, fabric seats can make drivers and passengers sweat during long trips.

Leather seats are best used on hot days and in cases where liquids are spilled. For example, spilling a cup of coffee on a fabric seat is a nightmare because the brown color will last forever and is difficult to clean. Leather seats, on the other hand, are easy to clean.

7. Hull insurance

This is an item that not only cheap cars, but any new car should have. Auto body insurance applies to all external parts of the car. When your car has an accident, from a minor collision to a serious accident, the insurance company will pay for that damage according to the terms of the contract.

It should be noted that body insurance does not apply to parts such as the engine, transmission, steering system, or in general, the internal parts of the vehicle body.

Auto body insurance rates vary by brand and vehicle model.
