The ultimate motoring accessories - what can you add to make work easier when you're in your car or van? We have the answers.

Kerb your enthusiasm

AlloyGators are tough nylon protective rims that fit discreetly between the rim and the tyre. They're flexible enough to be easy to fit and tough enough to take the brunt of the damage if you hit a kerb.

There are fitters across the UK or fit them yourself. If you don't fancy discreet they come in a range of funky colours!

Getting underneath

The Chassis Cleaner from Kärcher has an upside-down spinning head, attaches to a pressure washer and goes under your car to clean the chassis and underpinnings in a way that no car wash can achieve - see it in action in this video. Great for cleaning up after messy jobs.

Buy online or from retailers.

Watch out!

As an insurance company we're right behind the rise of dashcams - they are so valuable when proving liability and countering 'cash for crash' schemes.

But many cheap dashcams are next to useless - we know, we've tried some. The Nextbase 512G has won both the Which? and AutoExpress best buy awards for 2016 so we're confident it will do a good job.

Stay safe

Being found guilty of driving while above the legal drink driving alcohol limit will result in punishment that could affect the rest of your life. So this next gadget is the perfect safety tool, that everyone should keep in their vehicle.

The amount of alcohol you would need to drink to be considered over the driving limit varies from person to person. Therefore it can be difficult to tell if you are still over the limit even if you feel "fine". Did you know, that even the morning after a night drinking, you can still be legally over the limit!

Using a personal breathalyser just to be sure is a sensible precaution and the AlcoDigital 3000 was rated "Most Accurate" in What Car? tests. So you can get back on the job in complete safety.
