Summer will officially begin on June 20 and there's no better way to prepare for one of the most enjoyable times of year than with some handy new accessories to keep in your car. With the help of our friends at Levine Auto & Truck Parts, we've compiled this list of 5 car accessories you should consider to help get you through the season:

Sunshade

Everybody knows the dreaded feeling of getting into a car that's been parked in the blazing sun for a few hours. Luckily, a windshield sunshade is a great way to keep the interior of your car feeling nice and cool during the day.

Automatic climate control

If your car doesn't already have a built-in automatic climate control feature, you can find plenty of devices on the market that will easily do this for you. They're pretty easy to install too!

Air freshener

Some might argue that air freshener is a necessary accessory to have in your car year-round, and rightfully so. However, air freshener is especially important to keep in your car during the summer as smelly bacteria is boosted by increased heat and humidity.

Sunglasses

This one might be a bit of a no-brainer, but we really can't stress enough just how crucial it is to wear appropriate eyewear while driving during the summer to protect your eyes and reduce any potential strain on your vision.

Thermal jug

Looking for a way to keep your drinks icy-cold while you're on the road? A thermal jug is designed to do just that. Plus, they're usually extremely durable, easy to clean, and less prone to leaking.
