How to buy a quality cargo mat

While some people go ahead and throw anything and everything into the cargo area of ​​their car, others prefer to be a little more careful and protect the place. Trunk mats are a great way to keep your car's cargo area looking stylish and clean. They are sometimes referred to as trunk liners, depending on what you're looking for.

• Whether you drive a sedan, minivan, SUV or truck, there is always a cargo mat for your vehicle. All you have to do to find the right one is to know the make, model and year of your vehicle. As a general rule, the larger the cargo mat, the more expensive it is.

• Some cargo mats even have a raised hem to make sure any spills don't seep in. They can be custom made specifically for your vehicle.

• Look for a cargo mat that is easy to install, easy to clean, and provides some sort of wear guarantee. If spills are your main concern, look for a waterproof option.

• Some cargo mats are designed to prevent your belongings from moving around in the luggage compartment. They have a surface that acts like a grip.

Not only do luggage mats look great, they can save your car's interior from rips, stains, and ultimately damage.
