How to Buy Custom All-Weather Floor Liners

Keep your car's interior clean through winter and rain without taking a big hit to your bank account all at once.

Typical cost $220 before anything else
Across the 0% window $14.67/mo 15 months, no interest

How we got that: $220 spread evenly across the 15-month introductory window on the Discover it® Cash Back. Checked · at the bank Carry a balance past the window and the standard APR applies to what is left.

A good set of custom floor liners is one of those car upgrades you never regret once the slush and mud start piling up. Keeping your carpets clean saves you time and keeps the resale value up down the road, even if the upfront cost stings a bit when you add up the shipping and tax.

You want to buy right before winter or rainy season hits, when stores still have steady stock before the rush. Work out the price of the liners on their own first, and keep financing separate from any haggling you do on the product itself.

Remember that the intro window is a strict deadline, not free money. If you still carry a balance when the 15 months are up, interest kicks in on the original amount from day one.

The steps

  1. 01

    Pick your exact fit

    Measure twice or check your exact make, model, and year before you click buy. Generic mats slide around and let salt ruin your carpet anyway, so get the laser-measured kind.

  2. 02

    Time the purchase right

    Grab your liners right before winter or rainy season starts. Retailers rarely discount custom fits deeply, so timing it just right protects your car interior before the worst weather hits.

  3. 03

    Spread out the payments

    Put the purchase on your Discover it® Cash Back to use the 0% intro APR for 15 months on purchases and balance transfers. Splitting the about $220 cost means paying about $14.67 per month over that window.

  4. 04

    Set up auto-pay

    Calculate what you need to pay each month to clear the balance before the intro period ends. Set up automatic payments so you don't have to think about it.

  5. 05

    Clean them properly

    Take your liners out and hose them down once a month during bad weather season. Let them dry completely before putting them back in to prevent trapped moisture.

  6. 06

    Check the card terms before you commit

    Every figure we publish for the Discover it® Cash Back carries the date a person verified it against Discover and a link to where they checked. Intro windows and APRs change without notice, so confirm the current terms before applying.

Common questions

Are custom liners really worth the price?

Universal mats curl up at the edges and let salt ruin your factory carpet. Custom liners trap mud, water, and snow completely, which pays off when you sell or trade in the car.

Can I wash them with normal soap?

Dish soap and water work fine for most rubber and thermoplastic liners. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that make the surface slippery where your feet go.

What happens if I don't pay off the balance in 15 months?

You will get hit with the standard interest rate applied to whatever is left of the original purchase. Treat the monthly payment like a fixed bill to make sure you beat the deadline.

Do these liners cover the trunk too?

Most front and rear seat sets only cover the footwells. Trunk and cargo liners are almost always sold as separate pieces.
