Some car phone holders have a single cradle and more than one mount. If you have more than one vehicle, this allows you to install one mount in each vehicle and just take the cradle portion of the holder with you. Look for one that includes a variety of mounts, including vent, dash, and windshield, if you think this would be a useful feature.

A good phone mount is an essential accessory for any vehicle that doesn't include a built-in navigation system.

These holders attach directly onto your dashboard with an adhesive strip. You need to clean your dashboard and leave it for a pre-set time – often up to 24 hours – to attach. Ease of use Our testers rate each car phone mount on how easy it is to put together, attach a phone and attach it to a car. We'll usually spend a week or longer testing new phone mounts, and the review process is fairly straightforward – we use them to mount our phones in the car! This helps us see how robust the holder is and how well it actually works. We'll also test how easy it is to put the phone in and take the phone out again. The MagSafe-compatible Belkin Magnetic Wireless Car Charger gets power via your car's DC or USB port. You can simply place your phone on top of it and rely on the built-in magnet to secure your device. Who It's ForA growing number of automatic and MagSafe-compatible options are now available. Automatic mounts use an IR proximity sensor, open when your phone is in range, and automatically adjust their grip to accommodate your phone once it is seated. MagSafe mounts attach to the MagSafe array on newer iPhones. If you have a standard air conditioner vent, plenty of excellent options exist. They're usually not compatible with circular or small vents, however. Adjustability We test how easy or fiddly it is to adjust the car phone holders to a comfortable position to view your mobile.
