Car Phone Holders

Car phone holders ensure you can always use your phone safely and hands-free in the car, truck, camper, bus, and more!

Why do you need a car phone holder?

A car phone holder allows you to fully focus on the road. Quickly holding your phone to look something up or answer a call can distract you at precisely the wrong moment. With both hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road, driving is not only more enjoyable but also much safer.

There's another thing: anyone holding a phone in the car risks a hefty fine. Handheld phone use behind the wheel is prohibited and strictly enforced. The fine? A whopping €430 . With a car phone holder, you avoid that risk and always have a hands-free drive.

How to choose the best phone holder for your car?

A car phone holder is essential for safe driving and phone use. But which model is best for you? That depends on your preferences, your car, and where you prefer to mount your phone. Below, we'll explain the different types, their pros and cons, and what to consider when choosing the best car phone holder.

A good car phone holder ensures your phone is securely fastened, doesn't slip, and remains clearly visible. This makes driving not only safer but also more comfortable. And the best part: there are models for every type of phone and vehicle.

The different types of phone holders for the car

1. Dashboard holder

Want to keep your smartphone at eye level without obstructing your view? Then a phone holder on your car's dashboard is perfect. These holders are usually attached with a strong adhesive pad or suction cup and stay securely in place, even on bumpy roads.

Many models have adjustable arms and can rotate, so you can always find the perfect viewing angle. Ideal for navigation!

2. Ventilation grille holder

Another option is the phone holder for your car's air vent. This clamps to the air vents on your dashboard. Convenient, because it takes up minimal space and is easy to remove.

Note: The air blown from the ventilation grille can affect your phone. Choose a model that holds your phone securely, even when the ventilation is on or during vibration.

3. Holders with suction cups

A car phone holder with a suction cup gives you plenty of freedom. You can easily attach it to the dashboard or windshield. It often has a flexible arm for the perfect viewing angle. Tip: choose a model with a gel pad for extra grip. It's easy to move and doesn't leave a residue.

4. Phone holders with magnet

A magnetic phone holder for your car uses a clever magnetic system. Simply place a metal plate in or on your case, and the holder takes care of the rest.

Magnetic doesn't mean weak. On the contrary: a good magnet will hold your phone securely in place. Be careful when charging wirelessly: not every magnet works well with a wireless charger.

A car mount with a magnet is especially handy if you frequently get in and out of the car. You can click your phone in or out with one hand, quickly and without hassle.

5. Phone holders with wireless charging

Want to charge your phone on the go without cables? Then a phone holder with wireless charging is the ideal upgrade. Simply place your phone in the holder, and it charges automatically.

There are two variants:

  • Qi chargers – Suitable for almost all modern smartphones.
  • MagSafe chargers – Specifically designed for iPhones with MagSafe (from iPhone 12 onwards). They click into place perfectly and charge extra fast.

So when choosing a car phone holder for an iPhone, pay close attention to your device type and whether you use MagSafe.

How to choose the best phone holder for your car?

The best phone holder for your car should match your driving style, device, and preferences. Where do you want to mount your phone? The dashboard or windshield keeps your screen at eye level, convenient for navigation. A vent mount, on the other hand, is compact and neatly concealed.

The mounting system also plays a role. Do you want a sturdy suction cup, a magnetic click, or an adjustable clamp? Always choose a mount that stays securely in place, even when bumps or vibrations occur.

Using your phone with a case? Make sure the holder offers enough space. And if you want to charge wirelessly, choose a holder that supports it, such as a MagSafe-compatible model for iPhones.

This way you can easily find the car phone holder that really suits you.

Frequently asked questions about car phone holders

What is the best car phone holder for iPhones?

Do you use an iPhone? Then there are plenty of options. An iPhone car mount with MagSafe works seamlessly with your device. But a car dashboard mount or one for the air vent is also a good choice.

What's the best place for a car phone holder?

Choosing a smart location is just as important as the model itself. The car phone holder should be clearly visible and securely positioned.

Where is the best place to mount a phone holder in the car?

  • On the dashboard (outside your direct line of sight)
  • In the ventilation grille
  • On the center console
  • Against the windshield, as long as it doesn't obstruct your view

An ergonomic position prevents you from having to move too much to use your phone while driving. Convenient and safe.

How do you install a phone holder in your car?

That depends on the type. Here's a quick overview:

  • Air Vent: Clamp the phone holder to the air vent in your car.
  • Dashboard: Attach with an adhesive pad or suction cup. For uneven dashboards, use a special pad.
  • Suction cup: Stick to the windshield or dashboard. Sturdy and flexible.
  • Magnet: Stick a metal plate on or in your case. Ready to use.

Always make sure your phone's holder in the car is securely fastened. There's nothing more annoying (or dangerous) than a wobbly phone while driving.
