A cup holder is ideal for safely enjoying a drink during your trip. If you spend many hours in your car, you probably want to regularly enjoy a cup of tea, coffee or something else. Chances are that the standard fitted cup holder in your car is not entirely up to par. In modern cars the standard built-in cup holders are often a large black hole, without any anti-slip features. Drinking cups are often smaller, causing them to slide or even tip over while going through a sharp turn. Fortunately, you can get a new cup holder for very little money, ensuring that your cup always fits well!
Types of cup holders
There are basically two different types of cup holders. Just to be clear, in this case, we mean by types the method of assembly. The first type of cup and can holders are attached to the air ventilation grille. In the other variant, the cup holder gets attached to the window frame of your car door.
Ventilation grille attached cup holders are very easy to assemble. These can easily be clicked or attached to the air ventilation grille. A disadvantage of an air ventilation grille cup holder, however, is that not every car is suitable for this kind of cup holders. Some cars have air vents that are round, which make them impossible to attach the cup holder to. Another drawback is that the airflow from the grille is somewhat blocked by the cup holder.
The cup holder that you can attach to the door frame or window frame also has a number of advantages and disadvantages. Just as the air ventilation grille type of cup holder, this type of cup holder is also very easy to assemble. Because it´s closer to the driver seat, the cup holder makes it more easy to zip from your cup while driving. However, there is a risk that you accidentally bump into the cup holder, while driving. The chance that this happens with a cup holder in the ventilation grille is a lot smaller.
For us, it is difficult to determine which is the best cup holder for you and your car. The choice is up to you. We did find that most people choose a cup holder that fits in the air vent. These are often just a little more practical for daily use. Always make sure when placing a cup holder, not to place it in front of any of the airbags. Also, don?t place the cup holder in front of you, blocking the view.
