A generic beverage container holder for use within a vehicle includes a housing mountable beneath the dashboard and a frame slidably mounted to the housing for movement between retracted and extended positions. An opening is defined within the frame to accommodate beverage containers such as mugs, cans and cups. A U-shaped support is pivotally mounted to and beneath the frame and is spring biased towards a vertical attitude beneath the container opening when the frame is extended. When the frame is retracted the support automatically folds against the frame for storage. The container is centered by three pivotal spring biased centering tabs mounted about the container opening. Containers over a range of sizes are properly positioned within the container opening to keep this container supported by the U-shaped support and prevent the container from moving around within the opening.
