Electric coolboxes

Electric coolboxes use the 12v power from your car to keep things cool. If you’re heading away for a longer journey, perhaps for anything from a few days to a few weeks, then these devices are perfect for you - and larger capacity electric coolboxes are better suited to longer trips.

However, if you’re only off for a picnic or a few days of camping, then a standard ice box should be perfect. Ultimately, cool boxes can make for an excellent addition to your arsenal of camping equipment - opens in a new tab, and could well make your shopping list when you’re identifying the camping essentials.

Cool box FAQs

How does a cooler box work?

Cooler boxes keep things cold, either by plugging into power or using insulation. Electric and non-electric cool box and bags work by either actively cooling or simply holding in the chill with ice packs. They're perfect for road trips, picnics, or keeping drinks cool at the beach.

How long does a cooler box stay cold?

The strength of your cooler box can depend on the type. Non-electric cool boxes usually stay cold for 12 to 48 hours with ice packs. Electric ones, like those at Halfords, stay cool for as long as they're plugged in - ideal when you’re out and about for a full day or more.
