The Best Car Cup Holders (Review) in 2023 | Autance

A simple but effective universal cup holder, this device can change your standard car cup holder into a giant that will happily meet the needs of any travel mug. Being able to hold up to 40-ounce mugs (including the YETI options) securely and without much fuss, this is a great choice for those taking in the daily commute.

There are two ways to expand this option, whereby you can alter the depth of your cup holder to meet the needs of your cups, mugs or bottles, and you can extend the width for better stability. It also comes with a soft fit sleeve, so you can be sure that your car will remain undamaged by scratches during fitting or on rockier roads.

Another great choice in a portable cup holder, this unit works in a similar way to our top pick with a few minor adjustments and a slightly higher price. With a simple twist of the top half, you can expand the base of your new cup holder to securely fit into any standard car cup holder.

Ranging from 2.5 to 3.75 inches in diameter, check the size of your current option before purchasing this product. The central unit can handle bottles, cups, and mugs up to 3.4 inches in diameter but double check that your travel mug will fit. Anything smaller than this will be securely held in by the addition of the rubber tabs around the head of the cup holder.

Combining the storage capabilities of console options with the adaptability of extending bases, this mini console from Go Gear is everything you could need in a car cup holder. The upper half can handle the standard go-to items in your car, such as your phone, change or glasses, while the lower half features two, adjustable cup holders.

There’s a huge range of sizes, so you can be sure that almost any mug or drinking cup will fit without issue. The only real problem is that you’ll need to place this console on your seat or floor, which can make reaching for your drinks a little awkward – especially in a full car. And, while it is generally very stable, it isn’t ideal to have a loose console in the car.

If you prefer to have a mounted drink holder in your car, then you can’t go wrong with this option from Camco. While mounting options can cause damage to your car, this can be worth the added convenience, depending on how you prefer to drive. If you prefer not to use the screws, double-sided tape is included with this option – although the strength of the cup holder using just tape is negligible.

This adjustable drink holder can handle a surprisingly high weight and can be adjusted to meet almost any width of cup. Users note that they have had some great experiences that have surprised them, even with their largest bottles. It also folds up neatly when not in use, which is perfect for those who like to keep their car extra neat.

With extra-tall sides to ensure complete stability for your bottle or cups, this cup holder works brilliantly for water bottles or the morning beverage on the way to work. The 1-inch slot is ideal for those cups with handles, such as the standard travel mug while the sides reach an additional 3 inches. Meanwhile, the tapered base works to 2.6 – 3.4 inches to provide a snug fit in your fitted car cup holder.

The upper diameter reaches 3.9 inches across and is therefore wider than some of our options. However, due to the added height, it is not as stable as some of the higher options on our list, with some users noting that sharp turns can throw off the center of balance for this option.

Another choice with an expandable base, this option ranges from 2.5 – 3.75 inches in diameter at the base, to fit any car cup holder. Simply twist the upper half to expand or retract the base to fit whatever size fits best. Meanwhile, the upper diameter can hit a massive 3.8 inches and hold up to 40oz bottles and cups, along with a slot down one side to handle mugs and cups with handles.

This is regularly highly rated by those who take longer, rougher drives, who note that this option from Seven Sparta works brilliantly in maintaining a stable, firm grip during on the road. The tall sides help to further this, providing a great base for your drinks during trying journeys.

Another choice which would need to placed on the floor or a vacant seat, this console cup holder is made in the USA and can hold everything you could possibly think of. Being made from durable plastic resins, this is a slightly weightier option and comes with a higher price tag but is likely to be more stable on the floor.

The two cup holders have a static size, with no wiggle room for larger cups, so don’t expect anything amazing here. However, the organizer which is attached has some nice features, in that it can handle any items large or small, from your tablet to pens. This is all thanks to the extra depth that this console has, make it ideal for those who want a decent organizer over a decent cup holder.

A short but sweet option for those who like to place their cup holder anywhere in their car. While it may seem a little odd, reviews do note that this little car cup holder does well to stick wherever it’s placed. Better still, the wider base works well to maintain stability during rides and the addition of the springs allows for better grip to your mug or cups.

This is a fantastically affordable option that can easily be picked up and placed elsewhere without any fuss – ideal for hiding in the glove box when not in use, for example, or moving from car to car.

Cheap and cheerful, this is a great choice if you want to free up some console space in your car, or simply need a drinks holder in the back seats for the kids.

Despite a simple design, it holds a decent weight, with customers noting drinks even up to 24oz are comfortably held by this option. The only real downside to this particular option is that it looks a little “clunky” and can get in the way if you’re looking to open and close your windows regularly

Another simple choice which uses an additional sleeve to adjust to your car, this option from Smart Flask is a basic cup holder adapter which works for a smaller range of sizes but does a great job with those holders which do match the dimensions. Luckily, if this doesn’t fit your car, there’s also the option of a moneyback guarantee provided by the seller, although the extension dimension ranges should ensure that only those suitable will buy this option.

This console cup holder from Rubbermaid works brilliantly for commuters as it covers everything you could possibly need – with a lined eye-glass compartment through to an extra-wide cup holder, this is a great choice for daily drivers.

This item is dishwasher safe for extremely easy cleaning, but you will need to check the dimensions of your car’s center console before purchasing to ensure a good fit. It also comes at a great price, so you don’t need to pay an extortionate amount for a deluxe cup holder.

Simple and cheap, this window cup holder is great if you’re looking for something that will do for a one-off, long-haul trip. Simply slot the hook into the gap between your door and window and you will have yourself a high-capacity cup holder that is out of the way and easy to use.

Of course, things are never quite that simple and there are a few negatives here, in that you won’t be able to use your window while this is in use, without the cup holder popping out and needing to be replaced. It also requires enough space for the cup holder itself to be placed between the gap, as many newer cars won’t have a large space here.

A great choice if you find yourself needing a slimline organizer that can hide your valuables when required. This option from KMMOTORS has been designed to slide into the gap between your seat and center console and works with a magnetic flip-up lid to keep heat-sensitive items away from the sun’s glare – or simply to hide your change.

There are two pads included with this purchase, so if you think your gap might be a little wider, it might be worth trying this item out over our earlier side pocket option. Meanwhile, this option has also been made with plywood along the central design, so ensure a stronger fit and great durability.

Available as a complete car cup holder organizer, this item can handle anything and everything you have to throw at it or could possible need on your journey. While not ideal for commuters, since the bag is used over the headrest and is therefore only available to those in the back seat, this is a fantastic choice for family cars and long drives.

Dishwasher safe and therefore very easy to clean, this organizer consists of two cup holders, a folding tray and additional storage space. The strap is completely adjustable to match the length you require (lower for kids who may want to use the tray as an activity table, higher to stay out of reach), and the lower section even includes hooks for trash bags or coats.
