1. A magnetic eyeglass and sunglasses hanger so when you make that right turn straight into the blinding sunlight, you'll know right where your shades are and be able to grab them easily with one hand instead of having to dig around in your bag or glove compartment.

Amazon

Check out a TikTok of the sunglasses holder in action. 

Promising review: "Should have bought one sooner. My car doesn't have a sunglasses compartment, and this thing works perfectly. Excellent value and well constructed!" —ManWithThePlan

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in five colors and multipacks). 

2. A car cup–holder extender, because now your giant Hydro FLask, Yeti, or Owala can finally ride shotgun without tipping over every time you take a turn. It adjusts to fit most bottles and cars, and the offset design means you can actually use two side by side without them blocking each other. Your oversize water bottle has been waiting for this moment!

www.amazon.com

Swigzy is a small business that specializes in drinkware and accessories. 

Promising review: "Fits great in my F-150. I've been manually holding my Yeti for years, oftentimes picking my water bottle off the floor after it slides off my passenger seat. Slide no more. This thing works great. Feels sturdy. Holds all of my oversized cups. Highly recommend." —Bryan

Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in three sizes and two colors). 

3. And an extendable silicone straw if you wanna say goodbye to having to lift up your entire tumbler every time you wanna take a sip while behind the wheel.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Love these. Absolutely a lifesaver in the car. No more fumbling to pick up my drink while on car trips." —N.J.B

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (available in four color combinations). 

4. A retractable phone charger for your car in case you hate having tangled cords strewn around your vehicle. Simply plug this thing directly into your car's cigarette lighter, and pull out the lengthy cables whenever you need them, and let them retract back into the adapter when you're done. You can even charge two devices at once!

Amazon

Promising review: "It has quickly become one of the most useful accessories in my car. The biggest standout feature is the retractable design — the built-in cables neatly pull back into the charger, so there are no messy wires hanging around. It keeps the car interior clean and organized, which is a huge plus compared to traditional chargers.

Performance-wise, this charger is excellent. I’ve used it for both my phone and my girlfriend’s phone at the same time, and it handled both without slowing down. The different built-in cable options make it versatile — perfect if you or passengers have different devices (USB-C, lightning, etc.).

Build quality feels solid, too. The materials don’t feel cheap, and the retracting mechanism is smooth without feeling flimsy. It fits snugly into the car’s socket and stays in place even on bumpy rides." —Josh

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in seven colors and two lengths).

5. A front and rear dash cam set that'll offer some peace of mind knowing that every moment is on the record, whether it's a fender bender, a parking lot hit-and-run, or just a wild moment on the highway you wanna send to your group chat. It records in 4K, has impressively clear night vision, and easily downloads straight to your phone. Plus, it also watches your car while you're parked, so you can finally find out who keeps dinging your door.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "The Redtiger dash cam is one of the best investments I’ve made for my vehicles. It works flawlessly and was incredibly easy to install, including both the front and rear cameras. The video quality is sharp, and the performance has been consistent in all conditions. I now have these dash cams installed in all three of my cars — that’s how much I trust and rely on them. Whether for daily driving or road trips, this camera gives me peace of mind and reliable footage. Highly recommend!" —Dan Ward 

Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in with or without an SD card).

6. A portable wireless CarPlay screen to give your older vehicle a serious tech upgrade. Just plug it in via the cigarette lighter, wirelessly connect to your phone, and suddenly you'll have GPS, music, calls, notifications, a 4K dash cam, a backup camera, and more, all on a bright nine-inch display!

www.amazon.com

Just connect it to your smartphone for access to your music, messages, map navigation, and more. It features a 4K front camera, a night vision backup camera, a collision sensor function, parking monitor function, and it's suitable for most vehicles.

And check it out on TikTok!

Promising reviews: "This device has transformed my low tech minivan into a modern day people mover! Playing music and using the navigation makes it a more enjoyable experience. Easy to install, impossible to be without once you start using it. Having the dashcam is also a huge value add. So glad I purchased this!" —Stycky

"Great screen! Easily installed in my Honda Pilot, truly is plug-n-play. Love having a dashcam incorporated into this, and the backup camera even has freakin NIGHT VISION?!? Voice control works great too, even at highway speed. Awesome item. Planning on getting one for my kids, too." —ellen fisher

Get it from Amazon for $109.99.

7. A sun visor tissue holder so you have easy access when your allergies decide to kick in at inconvenient times... like when driving 70 mph down a busy highway.

Amazon

Cold and flu season is upon us, y'all. Stock up now so you're ready! 

Promising review: "I am so glad I happened to come across these tissue holders. We have two little ones and seem to go through a lot of tissues from those little faces that need wiping. I was getting tired of trying to keep a small box of tissues that never really fit in the console correctly. I bought two of these. One for the front passenger sun visor and another that clips right over the seat back pocket for the kids. I bought plenty of tissue refills and they fit nicely in the glove box too. Love how it comes in beige to match our interior as well. Perfect match." —Bethany S

Get it from Amazon for $9.79+ (available in four colors).

8. A magnetic phone mount that clips into your air vents allowing your phone to (basically) hang freely on the dashboard while you keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Clip the magnetic base into your vent, stick the included sticker to the back of your phone (or place it in the case), and you're ready to go! Just be sure to review your vents before purchasing. Anything too low down would keep your phone out of your field of vision, which isn't ideal if you're using it as a GPS.

Promising review: "The WixGear Magnetic Phone Holder is simple, sturdy, and works perfectly. Installation took seconds, and the magnet is strong enough to hold my phone securely, even on bumpy roads. I love that it comes as a two-pack with extra metal plates, so I can use it in different cars or share one. Compact, reliable, and excellent value for the price!" —Al-Tarbsheh

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $14.99.

We also featured this product in our list of products for your first car, for any first-time car owners out there.

9. A seatbelt cushion — it'll make being buckled in so much comfier. 

Amazon, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Just perfect. Exactly what I was looking for — soft and protecting. I did not have a problem with sliding it out of the way when getting out of the car. Highly recommend." —chap1

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four sizes and 16 colors).

10. A tiny trash can capable of fitting right in your car's cup holder so you can stop just letting your trash fall into the mysterious, unexplored depths of your vehicle. The push lid makes it easy to toss stuff in there, while keeping the mess and smell contained. Plus, it actually looks aesthetically pleasing, unlike most garbage receptacles!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This car trash can is super practical! The size is perfect and doesn’t take up much space in the car. The push-lid design makes it easy to throw trash away while keeping odors sealed inside. The included trash bags are good quality and easy to replace and clean." —Alison F

Get it from Amazon for $4.49+ (available in five colors and as a set of two) 

11. Or a larger, leakproof trash can that easily straps to your center armrest OR around your headrest, has a rubber lid to keep trash covered, AND includes pockets for extra storage. Now the evidence of your late-night fast food detour is out of sight and out of mind, instead of tumbling around the backseat for the next six months.

Amazon

Promising review: "This fit PERFECTLY in my car and attached snugly to the back of my center console. It's easy to reach, yet not in the way for people in backseat. The size is perfect - not too small or big. The plastic side pieces are ingenious and help it keep it's shape, making it easy to put trash in it. My daughter and I attached ours to the back of our center consoles and my husband to his back seat. We're all very happy with the purchase! I'm so impressed with the quality and thought that went into this. If you're in the market, don't hesitate to buy this." —Deb H

Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in two colors).

12. A super comfy memory foam chair cushion your butt and back will thank you for on long drives. It also gives you a bit of extra height if you tend to have a little trouble seeing over the steering wheel in your car's low-set seats.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Great support and comfort. I use this in my car because I was getting sore/numb thighs and butt on long drives which I did frequently for my work. The first time I used the cushion on a long drive, there was a very noticeable increase in comfort and it eliminated the numbing effect I was getting. It made the drive 100% easier and less stressful. I also noticed it helps even for short drives around town, for a more comfortable driving experience. The cushion is firm but has just enough 'give' to be comfortable, and retains its firmness over time and use. Does not squish down like some cheaper brands. The cover can be removed for washing if needed, which is a good feature if you ever spill coffee or food while driving. Overall it is a great product and I highly recommend." —jimbo

Get it from Amazon for $37.45 (available in three colors).

13. A game-changing two-pack of backseat organizers complete with all the pockets you need to securely hold a tablet, cups, snacks, and anything else you or your little ones might need on a road trip to stay occupied (probably just more snacks, but you do you).

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I bought these for the kiddos and had them fully stocked with snacks, activity books, and drinks for a road trip. They were a hit! I still have them in the car, and they’ve come in handy to hold odds and ends that I don’t want lost under the seats. I was happy with the quality, they were easy to clip in, didn’t interfere with the driver or front seat passenger, and fit my small SUV perfectly. I definitely recommend!" —Amazon Customer

"We took a two-week road trip through the mountains with two boys in the back seat. We had these stuffed with everything and after two weeks, there are no signs of wear at all. Our kids are hard on things and these held up. The pockets are a good variety of sizes to hold different things, and they're just the right size so kids' leg room wasn't restricted. I wish we had gotten these sooner." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $25.99. 

14. A reusable cleaning putty formulated to remove dirt and debris from pretty much every surface and crevice you can think of. And because of its sticky texture, it can get into all the little hard-to-reach spots, like your car's AC vent, without you having to put a ton of effort into the whole operation.

Amazon

Promising review: "This product was just the perfect little helper for fast and on-the-go cleaning of my car. It smells good for me and is very easy to use. Not sticky at all. I stretched and rolled it 10x prior to using it. It doesn't get hard or dry. Just put it back in the container after using it." —Amethyst 

Get it from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in two colors and also in multipacks).

15. And a portable car vacuum you'll definitely want on hand for dealing with on-the-go spills, as well as the mud, sand, and pet hair that inevitably find their way into your vehicle, no matter what you do.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

It's only 2.4 pounds, comes with three different-sized attachments, and plugs into your vehicle's 12-volt AUX outlet.  

Promising review: " Exactly as described, strong suction and compact case! Holy cow! I wasn’t anticipating this to work as well as it did! My car is used for work and gets pretty dirty with sand and dirt (plus dog hair!), and this did a great job getting almost all of it! When the pet hair brush did its thing I was quite impressed. Plus the cord is the full length of my SUV which was a bonus. And it fits nicely into its own carrying case with a cleaning brush for the filters. Absolutely powerful enough to get the job done, and quickly. Also relatively quiet. Worth the money!" —Brittany C.

Get it from Amazon for $20.99.

16. A handy Dip Clip — it fits on horizontal or vertical air vents *and* can hold sauce packs from popular fast food chains to make eating in the parking lot wayyyy easier!

www.amazon.com

They'll fit onto horizontal or vertical air vents *and* can hold sauce packs from all popular fast food chains!

Saucemoto is a small business established in 2018 that specializes in unique car accessories. 

Promising review: "I don’t like to admit it, but sometimes I eat fast food in my car, particularly on long road trips. This holder is exactly what I would have designed if I had thought of it. There really is nothing I would change. It’s sturdy and I haven’t found a sauce yet that doesn’t fit; but if I do, there is a cup it comes with to hold 'loose' sauce." —Jr High Teacher

Get two from Amazon for $9.99.

17. A set of Drop Stop gap fillers to prevent your phone from falling into the abyss that is the space between your seat and the console. Plus, you'll never have to surrender a french fry (or a handful of french fries) to the gap ever again!

www.amazon.com

This"As Seen On TV" product even fits around your seat belts and moves with the seats if you adjust them!

Promising review: "I have to admit, my expectations weren't very high. I thought it was more of a joke when my husband got this for me for Christmas. Little did I realize it would be one of my most favorite gadgets ever! I don't know if I realized just how many things went missing in my seat gap. It has really saved a lot of things from disappearing into that black hole. It was easy enough to fit into my car and it's soft! It's just like an extension of my seat, except it fits every curve of my seat!" —Tessa Forbes

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $22.49.

18. A pocket-size Tile Mate for when you misplace your keys, wallet, or anything else you tend to lose. Just attach it to the item of your choice, and the next time you can't find it, you'll be able to use the Tile app on your smartphone to make your missing object ring until you track it down!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This small tracker is a lifesaver! It’s easy to attach to my keys and connects quickly to my phone. The app makes it simple to find lost items, and the alert sound is loud enough to hear. The battery lasts a long time, and it’s super lightweight. Definitely a must-have for anyone who misplaces things often!" —Daniela Cantero

Get it from Amazon for $18.98+ (available in five colors and multipacks).

19. A car windshield sunshade to keep your steering wheel from inflicting third-degree burns on your poor, innocent hands after your car's been parked in the sun for hours.

Amazon

Comes in different sizes (depending on your make and model) with a money-back guarantee.

Promising review: "This is super easy to use. Open and put in in the window, can't get any easier than that. My GMC Denali sits outside in the southeastern North Carolina sun all day and this really made a difference. When I get into my truck I can actually sit on the leather seats without being burned. It also keeps the sun off my dash which is important down here in the Southeast. I would definitely recommend it.' —Sharon

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes S–XXXXL, a custom fit, and various sizes for specific cars).

20. And a car visor extender for those moments when your vehicle's built-in visor isn't doing a great job blocking the sun all on its own. This see-through extension panel lets you keep your eyes on the road while it shields you from the harmful UV rays and reflections that cause visual fatigue and discomfort when spending time behind the wheel on sunny days.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Driving to and from work has been a pain lately, even with sunglasses on. Being short, my regular car visor was not shielding the low sun. This shield cuts the glaring rays without inhibiting my vision. Perfect." —Kim

Get it from Amazon for $20.89 (available in two styles).

21. *And* a stick-on shade that'll protect your passenger's eyes and keep your car nice and cool despite the scorching rays of sunshine that just won't quit.

Amazon

Promising review: "I’m really impressed with these window shades. They’re even better than I expected. I love that they simply cling to the window, which makes them super easy to put up and take down without worrying about the stickiness wearing off or the shades falling down. It's such a simple, hassle-free solution for blocking out the sun, especially for my rear facing child. The size is perfect for my car windows, and they do a great job of providing shade. Overall, I’m really happy with this purchase and would highly recommend them to anyone with young kids or babies."—Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three sizes and two or four packs).

22. A waterproof backseat protector in case your furry friend prefers to get covered in filth before tagging along for a ride. Now you won't have to worry about your car's backseats getting all scratched up or covered in fur, dirt, mud, water, and more.

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "We go to the dog park a lot, and every so often it’s muddy. Now I don’t worry about my car seats. This protects them greatly. She’s also an avid car rider, and with the snow, rain, and whatever, again, my seats are protected!! Love it!!" —Angela

Get it from Amazon for $28.88+ (available in two sizes and three colors).

23. Some mini "plant" air fresheners here to keep your car smelling nice and fresh while making you feel like you're hanging out in a cute little garden instead of stuck in traffic.

Amazon

It works on any colorfast material that can be safely dampened with water — which probably covers every kind of car upholstery except leather. While you're at it, take a look at some other cleaning products with professional results.

Get a 32-ounce bottles on Amazon for $26.99.

25. Some lightweight and durable escape tracks for those awful moments when your car decides to get trapped in the snow, sand, or mud. I wish I'd gotten these sooner because once my car gets stuck, it's pretty adamant about...remaining stuck.

Amazon

Promising review: "These are great! Other brands work once but rip all the grip off the pads, where these are built strong. I've used mine twice for other people. One was a 2WD Tacoma on sand, and it took just a few attempts and it was out. I also used them once to get a new Rav 4 unstuck in about a foot of snow and it only took a few seconds. So far there is minor wear on a few tips but the tips are still good. Finally the cleaning is easy and the bright orange helps find them in deep snow and mud. I would recommend these for sure and am buying another set for my other truck too!" —Amazon Customer

Get them from Amazon for $129.99.

26. A backseat hook that'll keep your bags and coats from spending the entire drive rolling around on the floor, dumping out their contents everywhere, and winding up covered in a mixture of dirt, snow, and whatever grime has been hiding under your seats since the beginning of time.

Amazon

Promising review: "Everyone who has gone into my car loves these hangers. So useful to hold purses, plastic bags, jackets, 40-ounce water containers, etc.! They have remained where I hooked them, no matter what I hung on them so far." —L.H

Get a set of two from Amazon for $5.99.

27. And an expandable hanger bar for anyone who treats their backseat more like a closet-on-wheels.

Amazon

Promising review: “We got this bar for a move to a new apartment 15 miles away from our old one. It was so easy just loading our already hung clothes onto this and driving it over in loads than taking everything off hangers, storing, and then having to rehang items. Since the move, we have used the bar numerous times for vacations, events, and even just to pick up dry cleaning!” —Alan Blankstein

Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in two styles).

28. A portable car desk/tray combo so eating and working in your car can actually be comfortable! Plus, do restaurants usually have recliners?? I don't think so.

Amazon

Promising review: "This is perfect for a mobile office or digital nomads!!! No more trying to balance my laptop on my knee and a cup in my cup holder or those low-centered kinds that cut into your belly. Oh, and it doubles as a writing desk, tablet stand, and food tray!!! Highly recommend!" —Deanna

Get it from Amazon for $18.62+ (available in two sizes and four colors).

29. A huge, incredibly warm military wool blanket you can keep in the trunk in case of emergency. It also makes a great seat cover if you're riding with a pet, AND you'll always be prepared for a spontaneous picnic.

Amazon

Promising review: "This inexpensive washable wool blanket should be in every car, truck, and RV as a “just in case” item. Be sure to wash it several times before use and tumble dry low. It will shed a lot, but makes the blanket nicer for use. I have one for my dog’s bed as she seems to like the feel of wool to lay on." —Chris J.

Get it from Amazon for $42.99+ (available in two sizes/styles and a variety of colors).

30. A blind-spot mirror designed to help you merge a little more safely and keep an eye on those areas that are usually out of view.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I purchased this one because there is no bezel that takes up space when the rear view mirror is already so small and you'll need whatever space you can get. The angle is also adjustable. Of all the ones I've purchased, this seemed to fit and look the best."—Peter

Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in seven shapes and packs of two or four).

31. A keychain car escape tool that can cut through seat belts and break car windows, because, even though you hopefully never need it, it's always better to be prepared.

Amazon

Promising review: "I work in the medical and rescue field and have to say this is a great product to have on your keychain. One of the concerns I had when buying this was the breakaway portion of the device itself but that was an unfounded fear. This is something that will save your life if you are ever trapped in your own vehicle as it will stay connected to your keys in the ignition which means that you will be able to reach it without a major issue. It will not easily detach without you pulling it off which means will be available where you want it when you need it. I have nothing negative to say about this and have bought one for my wife as well to have." —Aizrec!

Get it from Amazon for $11.33.

32. A Titan cooler to keep your lunch, drinks, and snacks nice and cold even in a hot car. The SmartShelf divider keeps your cans from crushing your sandwiches, and the zipperless flip-open lid makes it easy to access on the go, while still sealing tight enough to avoid a mess if things get a little bumpy. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Works well. Keeps items cold in my hot car during the heat of the summer in Alabama. If it can withstand that then it has passed the test. I like all the pockets and the fact that you don’t have a zipper lid so it’s easy to get in and out and seems to seal well." —Lori

Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in four sizes and eight colors).

33. A super soft 11-piece seat cover set — it comes in a variety of different colors so you can give your car the comfort and aesthetic upgrade it deserves.

Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in nine colors).

34. An easy-to-use digital tire inflator for the moment when your car decides to improve your day with that little dinging sound telling you your tire pressure is low. Fortunately, this thing plugs right into your car outlet and even includes attachments to inflate bike tires, air mattresses, balls, balloons, you name it!

Amazon

Promising review: "I was panicked when I went to my car the other night and had a flat tire. I had no idea how to change my tire, as my husband always takes care of stuff like that. Luckily a passerby had a small tire inflator, like this one, in his car. We inflated my tire and I was able to get home safely. The next day I got on Amazon and ordered this one. I immediately tested it and it worked great. It appears to be very well-made and comes in a very nice bag that I tucked away in the back storage compartment. Hopefully, I won’t have to use it any time soon, but if I have another flat tire, this time, I’ll be prepared..." —McintireP

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors).

35. A really adorable set of car coasters because they'll look super cute in your cup holders while keeping them from getting all gross and sticky.

Amazon

Check out some of the other organization products that we're loving right now!

Promising review: "I was tired of having things roll around in my trunk. This is perfect. Lightweight, has two compartments and the best part is the Velcro on the bottom helps it from moving all around the trunk while driving. I would recommend this item" —Amazon reviewer

Get it from Amazon for $11.99.

37. A replacement air filter, because if yours looks anything like this one, it's probably time for a change.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I know very little about cars but I do know quite a bit about saving money. I went to get my airbag replaced this past month and they recommended I replace my cabin air filter. It was going to cost $60 and $40 for labor!! I YouTubed a tutorial and it looked so simple. I bought one on Amazon (same brand) for less than $20!!! For a 26-year-old (completely inexperienced with cars) who spent 10 minutes on YouTube and an extra 10 minutes in installation, I saved over $80!!! I probably would have had to wait at the dealer more than the 20 minutes it took me overall and would have had to pay an extra $80. No thank you!!" —Vanessa C.

Get it from Amazon for $9.97 (also available in multipacks).

38. And finally, a set of interior LED lights so the inside of your car can magically glow in the color of your choosing.
