Starting the first year at university is exciting but can also be a daunting prospect for new students. For many it is the first time to leave home for a long period. Having familiar possessions that they have brought from home can make the transition easier. Familiarity helps to make Freshers feel more comfortable and at home in their new location.\u00a0 When starting university life there is a lot of stuff that you need to take with you.\u00a0 Clothing, kitchen supplies, stationery, sports gear…the list continues.\u00a0 Here is a checklist put together by<\/span> UCAS<\/span><\/a> to use as a guide for the essentials for starting university life.\u00a0 If you look at the whole list you\u2019ll appreciate that there is a lot to take. How do you cram these securely into the car to take that drive into this new chapter in your son or daughter\u2019s life?<\/span><\/p>\n

How to get the gear to university<\/b><\/h2>\n

Fortunately, there is a simple way to maximise every square centimetre of boot space in the car you drive. Install a<\/span> Travall Guard<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve got a lot to transport in the boot of your car, chances are you\u2019re not going to be able to leave the parcel shelf or tonneau cover in place.\u00a0 This leaves the passengers in the main body of the car exposed to the hazards of sliding cargo. If you suddenly need to brake hard the hazard can be compounded by items flying through the car. Placing a vehicle-specific guard between the rear seats and the boot of the car can prevent this.\u00a0 It ensures that even if you have to cram the boot to the roof, the items stay there helping to shield the occupants of the vehicle from the hazards of loose luggage.<\/span><\/p>\n

Installing the guard is easy and takes around 15 minutes.\u00a0 You can leave the guard in place permanently or you can remove it in a couple of minutes for use at another time. Naturally, the guard is useful for taking your student\u2019s belongings to university but there are many other situations when you have to fill the boot with luggage or sporting equipment where the guard comes in handy.\u00a0 The vehicle-specific design ensures a perfect fit in the car you drive.\u00a0 There’ll be no annoying rattles no matter where you’re going either.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finding the correct model of Travall Guard for the car you drive is also easy.\u00a0 Simply use the vehicle selector on the<\/span> Travall website<\/span><\/a>. The relevant products will be shown depending on the make, model and year of your vehicle, among other details.\u00a0 If you have questions about the Travall Guard, the FAQ section of our website may have the answers you need. If not, please contact us at info@travall.com for further details.<\/span><\/p>\n

The journey to start Freshers’ week may be your first drive to university, but will be the first of many. A Travall Guard could be your new favourite car accessory and may soon be at the top of the list of essentials for starting university life.<\/span><\/p>\n
