Australia is a unique country in many ways, but perhaps none is more obvious than the extreme heat that comes along with the summer months. Not only does it get hotter, but the dangerous UV rays that the sun gives off are far more present in Australia than Europe during its summer, with estimates suggesting that Australians get 15% more exposure to UV rays due to environmental conditions. That is no small amount and indicates just how unique this season is in Australia, which further enforces why getting your windows tinted in your car is so vital.

Safety Reasons

Obviously, the primary reason why window tinting in summer in Australia is so vital is to save yourself from sunburn during long car trips. In fact, it doesn't even have to be that long a ride to get sunburnt, and many people have been caught out by this problem. Window tinting will reduce the number of UV rays that get through and make you feel more comfortable whenever you drive, as you will barely notice it during the night but will be very grateful for it during the day. If you have sensitive skin, or someone in your family does, this is a must-have. 

Privacy

Everyone enjoys the summer months because you feel a lot freer with less work and many holidays to enjoy. With so many people out and about, it can be nice to enjoy a certain level of privacy when on vacation. A window tint gives you the feeling of being in your own little private world even if you are parked at one of the busiest beaches in Australia or in a major traffic jam with hundreds of cars around you. There is nothing wrong with wanting to feel safe and secure behind a tinted window on a busy summer's day. 

Heat

Your car can turn into a mini-greenhouse in summer, with large windows allowing the light to get in and heat up the interior of your car without any way for that heat to leave. There is no worse feeling than hopping into a steaming hot car and feeling as though you are sitting in a sauna. Window tints will reduce this greenhouse effect and make your air conditioning far more efficient whenever you are driving on open roads with no shade. Window tinting was primarily developed as a way to increase privacy, sure, but that does not mean its tertiary benefits are not also sought after.
