Travel gadgets that are a must this Memorial Day weekend.

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- Get ready for your summer road trips!

Memorial Day Weekend kicks off the unofficial start of the summer and abc13's Patricia Lopez has some gadgets that'll make is easier for travel and won't break the bank!

Whether you buy them brand new or repurpose something you already have, these items will make it easier.

First, you want to divide the car into 3 zones: the front seat, the back seat and the trunk.

Up front, clear the clutter for the driver with this "driver cup." Cords, phones, glasses, pens and money are all easily stored.

The price is $10.99 at the Container Store.

If you need to power up all your devices for every passenger in the car, this four port USB charging station may be all your need.

The price $29.99 and it has instasense technology, which means it's going to lowest item first.

In the back seat, you'll want to Stretch Your Dollar by packing your own snacks but keep your items cold for up to 6 hours with this bag called the "Pack It" grocery bag.

Also, in the middle seat you can keep the floor boards clear with the backseat organizer. This handy catch-all keeps items within reach and the strap buckles over a head rest. The price $15.99.

To pack food for kids you can reuse your plastic containers and organize snacks and lunch.

Also, create your own first aid kit by reusing a baby wipes bin.

And finally in the trunk, you can find all your stuff easily with these modular utility trays.

You can customize them for your needs and prices start at $5.99.

Plus, I have some additional ideas on my pinterest page: Patricia on TV.
