The Most Important Car Accessories For The Winter – Guidebook

Most car accidents happen in winter. To be best prepared for icy, frosty and snowy conditions, winter car accessories are highly relevant to ensure the safety of you and your passengers.

What you need in and on your car for the winter, you will learn in our checklist. We have compiled many equipment items for you in our product recommendations.

Checklist For Car Accessories For The Winter

Dangers In Winter
  • Slippery roads can be particularly dangerous for cars. Therefore, especially at temperatures around freezing point, sufficient safety should be ensured. Rain can quickly turn into black ice.
  • Snow is also an unpleasant surface, as ice can develop under layers of snow that cannot be seen at first glance.
  • Other dangers are the early onset of darkness and the cold.
Basic Equipment For The Car
  • An absolute must for the car in winter is winter tires. They have a deeper tread, so they are more likely to counter slippery conditions than summer tires.
  • In addition, there should always be a spare tire in the car, in case a defect occurs with a tire.
  • In addition to mandatory equipment such as a first aid kit, warning triangle, and signal vest, an ice scraper and gloves are recommended to scrape frozen windows free.
  • Antifreeze should also be added to the windshield cleaning agent to prevent the wiper water from freezing.
Useful Additional Protection
  • A winter inspection (e.g. at the ADAC) ensures maximum vehicle safety for the cold months.
  • A cover for the windshield (if necessary also for the complete vehicle) prevents freezing. This saves you from having to scrape the windshield free in the morning.
  • Batteries discharge faster in the cold. A battery charger will help if the car won’t start because of a dead battery.
  • De-icer for locks can be useful if you can’t get the key into the lock and don’t have warm water to de-ice it.
  • Warming blankets will help if your car breaks down and you have to wait for help.

FAQ For Car Accessories For Winter

How can you protect your car in winter?

Intact batteries are especially important. Weak or not intact batteries tend not to start in cold weather. In addition, the car should be regularly cleaned of salt, ice and dirt. Masking films and tarps are protective against windshield freezing. In general, all important fluids should be checked, such as windshield water, antifreeze and coolant.

What car accessories for winter?

A basic winter kit should include winter tires (incl. spare tires), a
first aid kit, a breakdown warning triangle and signal vest, an ice scraper, gloves, de-icing spray and windshield cleaner (incl. protection against frost). Useful additional materials include cover tarps and sheets and warm blankets. Snow chains may be beneficial for driving in difficult terrain.

How long can a car be left in winter?

Cars should generally not be left unmoved for too long. In addition to the risk of battery discharge, so-called stalls can also occur, for example. These are caused by the dead weight of the vehicle. It is advantageous to move the car for a few minutes every week.

What is a winter inspection/winter check?

A winter check is when a car is inspected to make sure it is winter ready. This is to prevent weather related problems. If you don’t want to check the car yourself, you can hire an auto repair shop to do it for you.

What does a winter check for the car cost?

A winter check at the garage is free of charge at many authorized workshops. Otherwise, you have to calculate with about 30 euros.
