Our Guide to Winter Driving Essentials
The cold and wet is once again on its way and it’s time to get your car “winter ready”. Here are our tips for the best products to keep you and your loved ones safe this winter.
This is a busy time of year for most people but it’s important to be prepared. I hope the items listed below will help you to do that.
AA Winter Car Kit
All the essentials are included including a foldable snow shovel, emergency foil blanket, a COB torch, Hi-Viz Vesty and it comes in a canvas carry bag.
All of this for less than £20? Can’t be bad!
A winter essential for any motorist. Highly recommended.
WInter Tyres / All-Season Tyres
It’s the only part of the car touching the road but so many of us ignore the fact that we often drive on summer tyres all year round.
All-Season tyres are great for those who want ultimate convenience and safety, whilst winter tyres are better suited to those looking for ultimate traction in winter before swapping back to summer tyres for the warmer months.

Thinsulate Hat
So simple, so cheap, and a literal life-saver if you get caught out in the cold. Less than a fiver too!
CarPlan Winter Pack
All the essentials that we all run out of - be sure to keep your anti-freeze and screen wash topped up and never set off on a journey again without properly clearing your windscreen.
AA Travel Fleece Blanket
Use for trips, picnics, days out, wheelchairs etc - also comes in very handy if you end up stranded in the snow.
This warm fleece blanket doesn’t take up too much space but could be worth its weight in gold.
