Most popular car phone holders

Phone holders are extremely popular in cars, but what are the best, most popular car phone holders? We’ve listed the best (and affordable) car phone holders for you.

For years now it’s been strictly forbidden for drivers to use a mobile phone while driving. Still, it’s often handy to grab your phone for navigation or to quickly make a hands-free call to say you’ll be a bit late. If you can’t resist the temptation, you risk a heavy fine for using your phone. Fortunately there’s a solution in the car: a phone holder. A car phone holder is easy to mount and ready to use, with a suction cup on the windscreen or clipped into the air vent. Click your phone in and, using a headset or your car speakers, you can make calls again. Many people also use their smartphone for navigation, for example via Waze or Google Maps. With a phone holder in your car you no longer run the risk of getting a ticket.

How much does a car phone holder cost?

You can buy a phone holder for just a few euros up to several tens of euros. For around 20 euros you can get an excellent and reliable phone holder for your car. 

For everyone looking for a phone holder for the car, we’ve put together (in order of best-selling) a list of the best-selling, best and most popular car phone holders.

How do you easily attach a phone holder in your car?

There are 3 options for mounting a car phone holder:

- with a suction cup on the windscreen

- with a suction cup or anti-slip mat on the dashboard

- in the air vent

With a car phone holder you can use your smartphone safely on the road. Car phone holders are placed on your dashboard, windscreen or air vent. Usually you secure your device easily in the holder with, for example, an automatic clamp or magnet. Never want an empty battery on the road again? Then go for a car phone holder with charging function. Most holders with charging function charge your device wirelessly. That way your navigation never unexpectedly cuts out. Of course, the simplest option is to charge your phone via USB while it’s in the holder.

Mounting on dashboard or windscreen

Many phone holders attach to the windscreen with a suction cup. These suction cups are now so good they also grip less smooth surfaces. You can therefore also mount your phone holder on your dashboard. There are also phone holders that you secure to your dashboard with an adhesive strip.

Mounting in the air vent

Phone holders with a small clip are designed to attach to the slats of the car’s air vent. The only requirement is that the slats are straight. For example, MINI Cooper vents are round and therefore almost never suitable for these clips.
