I'm flooring it to get these car deals added to my cart ahead of Amazon Prime Day
If a summer road trip is fast approaching on your calendar, Prime Day arrived just at the right time. Though the online retailer's sale event doesn't officially commence until Tuesday, there are loads of Amazon deals live right now on car products that can make your time on the road safer, cleaner and hopefully more enjoyable. No built-in GPS? I have just the car phone holder for you. Kids dropping crumbs in the backseat? Now is probably time to permanently stash a car vacuum.
Keep scrolling to check out my favorite Prime Day deals for your car, which I'll be updating all week to account for any automotive discounts that come and go. Or hop over to our guides to some of the best outdoor sales and travel scores to see what my fellow CNN Underscored editors have uncovered.
iOttie Easy One Touch Wireless 2 Dash/Windshield Mount
This mount charges your phone and maintains a strong grip no matter its model or case. Of the dozen car phone holders I tested, it was the best for anyone looking for a mount to attach to their dashboard or our review
Lammto Wireless CarPlay Screen
Another tech upgrade for anyone with an older vehicle is this 9-inch screen that adds Apple CarPlay without an expensive or complicated install. I'm testing this model in my 2018 sedan now, and the early returns are promising.
Insauto Foldable Windshield Sun Shade
It's hard to overstate the importance of a sun shade during the summer. This listing has a dropdown menu of different car makes and models to find the perfect fit. Don't see your car? Try perusing this list of other sun shades on sale.
Airmoto Portable Tire Inflator
I don't drive anywhere without this mini air pump. It charges via USB-C and can be packed away in your glove box so it's ready when you need. It's a lifesaver whenever that tire pressure warning pops up on your our review
Amazon Echo Auto (2nd Gen)
I'm not much of an Alexa user, but I'm seriously considering adding Amazon's assistant to my car because the latest version of the Echo Auto is an absurd 73% off. It lets you play music, send messages and control your smart home — all hands-free.
Anker USB-C Car Charger
Having a dedicated car charger with a built-in cable is such a good idea because separate wires always seem to find their way outside your vehicle. This one is 26% off.
MuMyer Dashboard Duck
Jeep people know. I bet this li'l guy, now 50% off, would absolutely rip a jazz solo.
Black+Decker Max Flex BDH2020FL Handheld Vacuum
Nothing combines portability and cleaning power quite like my pick for best car vacuum, the Black+Decker Max Flex. Its expandable hose and lengthy attachments make reaching under seats and into crevices less of a back-breaking our review
Hotor Car Trash Can
While this discount is frequently available, that doesn't change the fact that the Hotor Car Trash Can is a must for keeping your car tidy. It clips onto the back of a seat to stay out of the our review
AstroAI Foam Gun With Wash Mitt
When I tested car washing kits, a foam cannon made a huge difference in breaking up caked on dirt before I actually started scrubbing. They're also just wicked fun to use. This one connects easily to a garden hose and is nearly half off.
Mothers Premium Chenille Car Wash Mitt, 2-Pack
Crusty old sponges out, scratch-free wash mitts in. This two-pack is an essential tool for washing your car at home.
Yilanbon Car Wash Bucket Filter
Drop this into the bottom of a bucket when washing your car and it'll trap dirt at the bottom so your sponge or mitt stays clean after you squeeze it out.
Griot's Garage Microfiber Edgeless Utility Towels, 50-Pack
This many towels might sound like overkill, but I rely on microfiber towels to clean more than just my car. Getting this set from a car washing and detailing brand I love is a smart bulk buy that'll pay off all over the house. Click over to Amazon and you will find thousands upon thousands of 'deals.' I've combed through many of them to find the best car-related sales. That's why this list is abbreviated and curated with only the discounts that are truly worth shopping. Even as Amazon has increased the number of days during Prime Day — and the number of times a Prime Day-like event occurs per year — this mid-July window is still when our tracking reveals the best prices. And that's what you'll see reflected in all our Prime Day coverage.
My CNN Underscored colleagues and I only recommend products we would buy ourselves. Many of the choices I've included here are among the dozens of different automotive accessories I've personally tested in the past year. I spend a lot of time driving — hundreds of miles each month — and do my best to honestly present the pros and cons of every product I try out on the road. Rest assured, these are all items that have our stamp of approval.
