What factors should you consider when buying a tailored boot liner?

Consider boot liners that provide unique qualities to ensure you get the best deal.

The type of material

The material you need for your boot liner depends on certain lifestyle choices.

Popular materials for boot liners include:

• Reinforced PVC offers strong protection and is thicker than a traditional boot mat. The material is water resistant and ideal for families with pets, as it provides durability to protect your car.

• Polyester is a durable plastic material offering waterproof protection. However, polyester is less flexible than PVC.

• Quilted fabric offers anti-slip and comfort. However, this material is also absorbent, and typically unsuitable as a protective boot liner. Water damage and pet odours can seep into the fabric, shortening the liner's lifespan.

Hatchbag provides custom boot liners that have been tailored to meet specific car makes and models. Our Hatchbag boot liner is made of reinforced, soft PVC, which is far less likely to absorb any odours from pets or mud compared with other fabric materials.

Manufacturing times

Manufacturing times can vary depending on multiple factors, such as the production location and size of the operation.

Certain brands, like Hatchbag, tailor-make their boot liners to your car's specific model and year rather than using pre-made templates. This extends the manufacturing time. However, your boot liner will be bespoke to your vehicle and therefore fit perfectly.

Suitability

Ensure you find a boot liner that will suit your needs and cater to your lifestyle. For example, will you be travelling with pets? Do you have small children that require a pram? Or will you frequently be travelling with muddy gear, such as rain boots or camping and hiking equipment?

You will find most boot liners will be suitable for various activities. However, checking this on the product page is always a safe bet.

What are the best car boot liners for pets?

Travelling and holidaying with pets has become the norm as many owners may not want to leave man's best friend at home. If you have a pet such as a dog, consider how to make your dog comfortable during these long trips. Also, just because your dog loves a run in the mud does not mean your car has to suffer. Ensure your boot liner is easy to clean and waterproof to help protect the car boot from water, dirt, and other stains. Consider finding boot liners that also provide protection from odours.

Choosing the right pet accessories can help improve your pet's comfort, smell and safety of your pet, as well as protect your car boot.

Examples of accessories include:

• A boot mat – improving comfort for your pet.

• Odour mats – eliminate unpleasant dog smells.

• Pet beds – travel-size beds for pets.

• Rubber mat - to eliminate any slips.

• Tailgate cover

• Tailored seat flap
