How to Organize Your CAR Office

With many of us having to work at home, the car has also become a mobile office, and why not?

You can still self isolate, you can go thru a drive thru and get coffee, snacks or lunch, and then park just somewhere else rather than your driveway for a change of scenery!

As long as you have a good mobile connection for your calls, then why not?  I created a little bag of things that I need to keep in the car for those days when you "just have to get out".

Car Office Supplies (duplicate these from the house to keep solely in the car)


  • extra pens, pencils etc
  • spiral notepad
  • phone charger
  • ruler
  • clip board (makes a hard surface to write on)
  • napkins (coffee spills and snack crumbs!)


I also came across actual office desks that are designed for the car.  My favorite is the steering wheel tray!



These have become popular items

You can get more extensive depending on the work you have to do.  If you normally head out to see clients or are on the road, these actual car desks sit on the passenger seat.

You can keep everything organized and your eyes on the road, instead of checking the seat to see your files slide off when you turn that corner.

Totally makes sense.

As I was browsing I saw that you can also get nice seat pockets to keep things safe and even ipad holders for vans and SUVs.


If you are constantly looking for pens, paper or anything to do with work, then getting organized would be a good start.

Start With the Basics

Start with the most necessary things and duplicate them to keep in the car.  Then slowly build.  It is nice to get out of the house and feel a bit normal.  Sometimes getting a coffee/tea and then parking in a park or even the parking lot to do some work feels like you are getting out.

Invest in some car office supplies, whether it is a simple knapsack or a car desk or tray!
