Air vent mount

An air vent mount is a car phone holder that attaches to the blades of a dashboard air vent instead of the windscreen or dashboard surface, keeping the phone at eye level without blocking the view of the road.

Vent mounts are popular because they need no adhesive, leave no marks, and keep the windscreen clear. They come in two main styles: a hook that reaches behind a vent slat, and a clip that grips the blade from the front.

The right style depends on your car's vents. Horizontal slats with space behind them suit a hook; thin or vertical blades suit a clip. Our guide on choosing between hook and clip has a quick test you can do in the car.
