10 Must-Have Car Accessories for Women: Style, Safety & Convenience on the Road

Whether you're commuting to work, heading out on a road trip, or running everyday errands, the right car accessories can make all the difference in your driving experience. For women, especially, having accessories that blend functionality with a touch of personal style can transform your vehicle into a space that feels uniquely yours, while also keeping you safe, organized, and comfortable.

Here’s a curated list of must-have car accessories for women that strike the perfect balance between practicality and personality.

1. Compact Emergency Roadside Kit

Every woman should have a reliable roadside emergency kit in her car. Look for one that includes jumper cables, a tire pressure gauge, a flashlight, reflective warning triangles, and basic first-aid supplies. Even better if it comes in a sleek, compact case that fits neatly in your trunk.

Pro tip: Some kits now include power banks to charge your phone in emergencies, a game-changer!

2. Car Organiser

If you're constantly on the go, staying organised is a must. A stylish boot/trunk organiser can keep all your essentials in place - from water bottles and snacks to makeup, chargers, and wipes. 

Great for: Mums, frequent travellers, or anyone who wants a clutter-free car.

We of course recommend our very own Bonnets & Boots Boot Caddy for both style and functionality. 

3. Phone Mount with Wireless Charging

A secure phone mount not only keeps your device within easy reach for navigation but also helps you stay hands-free and distraction-free. Opt for one that offers wireless charging so your phone stays powered on long drives.

Look for: Adjustable mounts that attach to air vents or the dashboard.

4. Steering Wheel Cover 

Add a personal touch to your car’s interior while improving grip and comfort with a chic steering wheel cover. From faux leather to glittery designs and even heated options for cold mornings, there’s a style to suit every personality.

5. Backseat Storage

A backseat organiser is a lifesaver for women who juggle busy schedules, kids, or frequent travel. These multi-pocket organisers attach to the back of the front seats and offer convenient storage for everything from water bottles, tissues, and snacks to tablets and beauty products. 

Not only does it keep your car tidy and clutter-free, but it also makes it easy to grab what you need without digging through your bag or glove compartment.

Perfect for: Moms, road-trippers, rides hare drivers, or anyone who loves a well-organised space.

We've got you covered with the Bonnets & Boots Backseat Bag. With a small zip opening for easy tissue dispensing, multiple pockets and plenty of storage, it's designed to make organisation on-the-go easier than ever. 

6. Seat Gap Filler

You drop your lipstick or credit card down that annoying seat gap once — and suddenly, this becomes your favourite accessory. These clever fillers fit between your seat and centre console to catch anything that might slip through.

Because fishing under the seat in heels? No thanks.

7. Mini Trash Can

Keep your car neat and odour-free with a small, leak-proof trash can that clips onto your door, centre console, or seat. Stylish designs make it easy to blend with your interior.

Helpful for: Makeup wipes, receipts, gum wrappers — all the little messes.

8. Blind Spot Mirrors

A small but powerful safety upgrade. These convex mirrors attach to your side mirrors and give you a wider view of your blind spots — crucial for city driving or highway lane changes.

Safety first, always.

9. Glovebox Organiser/Document Holder

Most glovebox organisers are designed just for storing documents like your registration, insurance, and car manual — and while that’s helpful, some upgraded versions go a step further. Look for one that includes an extra pouch or zip compartment for added storage. These are far more useful, letting you tuck away small essentials like charging cables, a notebook, spare hair ties, or even lip balm.

It’s a compact way to stay both organized and prepared without having items scattered around the car. A sleek, structured design keeps everything in place — and makes grabbing what you need quick and stress-free.

Great for: Women who want more than just paperwork storage — think organised and ready for anything.

Say hello to the Bonnets & Boots Glovebox Organiser and goodbye to cluttered compartments, crumpled papers, and missing essentials every time you hit the road.

10. Seatbelt Cushion or Cover

Long drives or tight seatbelts can be uncomfortable. A soft, stylish seatbelt cover can prevent chafing and add a little luxury to your ride.

Bonus: They’re available in tons of prints, from leopard to blush pink.
