We all have experienced that feeling of getting back to the car, when it’s been parked out in that blazing sun for the day, and jumping into a wall of heat that’s accumulated inside the car. Not. Fun. What can you do to avoid this, and make that instant return to your car far more pleasant and that won’t leave you sweltering from head to toe? Here are some ideas for you to ponder……
- Use Sunshades or Windshield Covers – Window shades come in different shapes and sizes to fir different windows in the car. From the front windscreen, the rear and even the side windows, there are different types of window shades car. They are often very affordable, and very use to use. They can also be collapsible, making them easy to take down and store, saving you space in your vehicle, and ensuring the heat be kept at a minimum.
- Park Strategically – People living in hotter climates will know this all too well. If you’re off out and about, try and find somewhere near your destination that is shaded to keep your vehicle out of the direct sunlight. Under a tree, behind a tall building, anywhere that provides shade (and is legal, of course) can help. If there is an underground parking available, or a multi-story car park, maybe pay the cost so that you don’t come back to a sweatbox from your day out.

- Tint Your Windows – By getting your windows professionally tinted, you can significantly reduce the amount of UV and heat from entering your vehicle. It doesn’t have to be super expensive, and can add quite the cool look to your vehicle – if that’s what you’re in to. It also adds a layer of privacy from prying eyes on the outside, which is a little bonus. Be sure to check local regulations if considering this as an option, as it wouldn’t be the best idea to be breaking the law while trying to do good!
- Replace or Upgrade Windows – Some newer, more modern cars may have windows with built-in UV protection installed as standard already. If you don’t have that on your vehicle, maybe consider this as an option to reduce the heat, and protect the inside workings of your car. It could really work out saving money in the long-term, and will certainly make life a little easier when travelling and parking your vehicle.
- Apply UV Protection Spray – If the main purpose of you wanting to reduce heat inside your vehicle is to protect things such as car seats and plastics in the car, then consider this as an option. By applying UV-protectant sprays on your leathers, plastic surfaces, and vinyl, you will add an extra layer of protection, and help reduce fading and cracking of these areas of your car.
It all depends what the main purpose is for you, when trying to keep that scorching heat out of your vehicle. Consider these options, and see which one is most applicable to you and your needs. Click here for more information where you are.
