Ello Magnet Stainless Steel Travel Mugs range from $17.59 to $21.99 on Amazon.  

Sunwill Travel Insulated Mug

The Sunwill Travel Insulated Mug offers a sleek design and a surprising volume capacity. This mug holds up to 20-ounces of your favorite morning beverage and fits most car cup holders. There's no handle, but the double-wall insulated stainless steel cup is powder-coated in a rainbow of colors for both grip and style. While the biggest complaint reviewers have has to do with the slider on the lid, as it isn't removable which makes it difficult to clean. Nevertheless, it has 4.5 stars from over 28,000 ratings, and many agree it's a great value mug.

Sunwill Travel Insulated Mugs range from $9.99 to $14.99 on Amazon.

Funkrin Insulated Coffee Mug

The Funkrin 16-ounce Insulated Coffee Mug features a minimalist design and comes in unique colors and cute styles, but the biggest selling point might be the handle on the lid. It solves a common problem for smaller travel mugs — providing the convenience of a handle while still fitting in a standard cup holder.

Funkrin Insulated Coffee Mugs are priced between $19.99 and $21.99 on Amazon.

Haushof Travel Mug

If you need a bigger travel mug that still fits in your car's cup holder, the 24-ounce Haushof Travel Mug is for you. This mug is built to last — even the handle on this mug is stainless steel. One reviewer praised its durability and said, "they are the ONLY mug I've found thus far that the coating doesn't degrade and flake off over time." Another said, "This mug is worth every penny," adding, "I even love it over my Stanley cup which was way more expensive."

The Haushof Travel Mug ranges from $17.99 to $19.99 on Amazon.

Contigo Byron Travel Mug

The Contigo Byron Travel Mug made Tasting Table's list of the best travel mugs according to reviews, even when price wasn't a factor — and for good reason.

It comes in a wide assortment of colors and designs with all the same features as the bigger mugs: a leak-proof flip lid, stainless steel vacuum insulated mug, a non-slip base, and a powder-coated exterior for grip and style. It has a rating of 4.4 stars from nearly 12,000 reviews, and most are happy with the quality and value of this mug.

The CS Codssi Coffee Travel Mug is priced from $9.49 to $12.99 on Amazon.

Aloufea Insulated Coffee Mug

The 12-ounce Insulated Coffee Mug by Aloufea has the design of a conventional coffee cup with the essential features of a travel mug. Reviewers say it keeps their morning brews piping hot for hours, and one said "the mug will keep the beverage without spills" even when packed in a backpack. However, the handle will likely be a make-or-break feature for most. If you want that traditional coffee mug feel on the go, this is a great option, but the handle makes this mug unsuitable for most cup holders.

Prices for the Aloufea Stainless Steel Insulated Coffee Mug range from $10.99 to $17.99 on Amazon.

Tourit Travel Coffee Mug

The Tourit 16-ounce Travel Coffee Mug checks all the usual travel mug boxes: it's leak-proof, vacuum-insulated, stainless-steel, and cup-holder-friendly. But this mug immediately draws the eye thanks to its unique design. Instead of the usual smooth powder-coating, the Tourit Travel Coffee Mug features a chic, ripple-wave texture for a comfortable, anti-slip grip that adds a subtle flair to your morning commute. Most reviewers are happy with their purchase, saying they love the look, functionality, and quality of this mug.

The Tourit Travel Coffee Mug ranges from $12.99 to $15.99 on Amazon.

Contigo Superior 2.0 Travel Mug

Another Contigo top contender in budget travel mugs is the Superior 2.0 Travel Mug. This 20-ounce mug is sleek and minimalistic in its design, with a tall, slender cup-holder-ready cup and handle. Reviewers say this mug does exactly what it's supposed to do — keeps drinks hot and prevents leaks on the go. However, some complain about "the paint chipping off after around 1 year of use," and they have the photos to prove it.

The Contigo Superior 2.0 Travel Mug ranges from about $17 to $20.49 on Amazon.

Ello Ogden Ceramic Travel Mug

Need your coffee to-go, but not a fan of stainless steel? The 16-ounce Ello Ogden Ceramic Travel Mug lets the comfort of traditional ceramic mugs travel with you. While most of the mug is covered with a geometric silicone layer for a non-slip grip that's as lovely as it is practical, the top of the mug is exposed ceramic, so you can get that at-home feel wherever you are. Reviewers seem to agree that it won't keep your drink as hot as stainless steel, but it's worth it if you prefer a ceramic mug.

The Ello Ogden Ceramic Travel Mug is available for $16.99 on Amazon.
