Boot Liner for Estate Cars

Hello all

Just got a new car (Hyundai i30 Estate)and wanting to keep the boot (especially up the sides) dog hair free. Mats that just cover the floor are not enough. We board Guide Dogs and most of them are labrador-sized.

I have searched online for boot liners which seem to do the job, but there are a lot of them about. Could anyone recommend one?

Thank you

Lesley

  • Hi, I've got one of the hammocks which are designed for the backseat but easily adapts to my boot - may not be big enough for your car tho'.

    I guess it depends on how much you're willing to spend - my parents had one of these for their volvo estate and it's great but not cheap! http://www.boot-buddy.com/index.asp however, it has lasted for ages really well.

    Try zooplus.

    TBH we have a large waterproof sheet and then a vet bed over the top of it in our boot and STILL the hairs get in the cars upholstery

    We got ours for our estate from leisureshack.co.uk. they have a lip around the edge so any spills don't end up in the boot. We put a dog bed (homemade) on top for doggy comfort.

    I have a purpose made dog crate in my car, which means that although it can be taken out, it doesnt move (lots safer!). I have a picnic blanket underneath it which has one plastic side and one soft side. The crate itself has a rubber mat as a floor anyway, and I put vetbed or a soft bed in too. Result is very little hair throught the car!
