7 tips for packing the car boot for your summer holiday

With many of us planning to travel within the UK this summer, there will be plenty of us packing the car boot as efficiently as possible.  We’ve got some handy tips to maximise your boot space, so you can pack like a pro and take everything you need on your summer holiday.

Remove everything from the boot to start with.

Install a vehicle-specific luggage barrier such as the Travall Guard. This allows you to securely position your luggage and other items in the boot and keep everything away from the passenger cabin.

If you’re likely to be transporting a mixture of heavy items and more fragile goods, adding a boot divider can be a sensible move. This also allows for better organisation of the cargo area and further eliminates load shift.

When packing the car boot, place large and heavy suitcases into the boot first. 

Add softer and smaller bags to fill in the spaces around.

Be ruthless in what you decide to take. When you are packing the car boot, ask yourself whether all of what you are including is necessary.  You’ll be surprised how much you can eliminate by only taking what you need.
