Based on current 2026 testing and reviews, the best car phone mount depends heavily on your phone and where you want it mounted.

If you have a MagSafe/Qi2-compatible iPhone, I'd choose the Anker Prime. It combines a strong magnetic hold with Qi2 25W charging and active cooling, and includes a 60W car adapter. It's the premium option at about $90.
For most people, this is the smarter buy. It offers Qi2 15W charging, magnetic mounting, and active cooling at substantially less money. Active cooling is particularly useful because car interiors can get hot and cause wireless charging to throttle.
If you have an older iPhone, Android phone without magnetic/Qi2 support, or simply don't want to rely on magnets, I'd get this traditional clamp mount. It's inexpensive, highly adjustable, and works with virtually any phone/case combination.
If you're buying a MagSafe/Qi2 mount, look specifically for Qi2 certification. A mount merely advertised as "MagSafe compatible" may charge an iPhone at only ~7.5W, whereas Qi2 can provide 15W—and newer Qi2.2 hardware can reach 25W on supported phones.
My ranking:
If you tell me your phone model + car model, I can narrow it down to the single best mount for your specific setup (including whether vent, dash, or windshield mounting is best).

Best Budget Choice : A highly affordable option utilizing 24 heavy-duty N55 magnets capable of enduring up to 66 lbs of magnetic pull.
