Whether it’s getting excited about autonomous cars, buying new gadgets or adding mods for extra speed, there’s plenty to keep car enthusiasts entertained! There are many applications which can take your motoring experience to the next level. To keep up with your service checks, find a parking space or adhere to the speed limit, these apps have got your back. It often feels like there is an app for everything, (and we certainly aren’t complaining)!

1 . ChargePoint

For those who own electric vehicles, ChargePoint is a real neat app. It’s designed to make it easy to charge up your car, providing users with info on over 50,000 charge stations. Using ChargePoint, you get real-time updates plus you can access tips and leave reviews. If you need to return to the same charge point later, you can add yourself to the right waiting list.

2 . Car Minder

Car minder is a top application which allows users to monitor their car maintenance needs. Using the app, you can log and track repairs and your fuel economy too. Car Minder provides users with a fuel consumption feature, so that you can determine problems early, and take action. You can also use the application to log your fill-ups and services. The application is particularly handy for those who like to complete their own car repairs, and keep track of vehicle modifications. Whether it’s logging those used infiniti parts, or a cat-back exhaust, it’s useful to keep a record of all your car mods, including the dates that you last worked on your car.

3. ParkMe

Parking can be a real nightmare when you live in a big city, but thanks to technology, you don’t have to drive around for hours to find a space. ParkMe helps drivers to find the closest and least expensive parking spots, to save money and stress. The best thing about ParkMe is that you can view the price beforehand, plus you can also reserve garages and spaces right from the app.

3. Radarbot 

Are you always getting caught out by speed cameras? Radarbot has a solution to help you stay in line. This application was designed for drivers as a speedometer and a detector of speed cameras. Using Radarbot, there won’t be any surprises, as you will receive notifications about the position of traffic light cameras and speed cameras. With Radarbot you’ll get alerts when you exceed the speed limit and a function whereby you can save your routes.

4. Turo 
Turo is a handy car-sharing application which allows users to earn cash by sharing their vehicle, or the option to rent out another user’s car. (Think Airbnb, but only for vehicles!) It’s simple to use, just enter your city and dates to search for the various cars available. It’s no secret that vehicles account for a huge amount of pollution, and so getting involved with car-sharing is the perfect way to go a little greener. There are plenty of ride-sharing applications out there, designed to help users share car space and consequently protect the planet.
