Over the last three years, I've looked after TechRadar's dash cam content and covered every Black Friday and Prime Day sale event. Put simply, I know which are the best dash cams based on real testing and what are genuinely good deals, and there's a strong chance that I've already found Black Friday 2025's best dash cam deal – the Garmin Dash Cam Mini 3 for $99.97 at Amazon in the US (was $149.99) or for just £99 at Amazon in the UK (was £129.56).

The Mini 3 is the latest version of Garmin's discreet and affordable dash cam that's practically the size of a key fob, and the above deals are record-low prices. There's good news if you fancy a beefier flagship – Garmin's recent X310 is £249.99 at Amazon UK (was £349.99) – again, that's a record-low price. The price cut isn't quite as big for US shoppers, for whom the X310 is $349.99 at Amazon (was $399.99).

The previous low price for the Dash Cam Mini 3 was $120, so this is an unbeatable deal for Garmin's current budget model, which can discreetly tuck behind your rearview mirror thanks to its tiny proportions. It's only a tiny upgrade of the Mini 2, however, so it could also be worth checking for the older model to see if there are even better deals to be had. Unlikely, but you never know.

Not quite the deal as for the Mini 3, nevertheless $50 off the flagship X310 is the best deal for six months (during which time the price briefly sank to $310), and it's the best price today for a dash cam that usually sticks to its full price.

£100 off is easily the best X310 deal that I've seen to date – the previous low price for Garmin's flagship model, backed up by the price tracker tools that I use, was around the £300 mark.

Should you buy a Garmin dash cam?

Garmin dash cams are among the best dash cams available. I rate the Dash Cam Mini 3 as the best budget option, while the flagship model received a 5-star score in our X310 review.

The Mini 3 is an affordable pick if you want a simple and discreet dash cam – it lives up to its name and disappears behind your rearview mirror, recording sharp 1080p video, especially now there's a built-in polarizing lens, which reduces flare and is new to the series. You'll find feature-packed alternatives elsewhere, but none compare to the user-friendly experience of the Mini 3.

Likewise, the X310 is an incredible flagship dash cam and Garmin's best yet, with crisp 4K video, touchscreen display, and compact design.

What I will say about the above two models is that they were fairly modest updates of the Mini 2 and X210, respectively. So if you don't need the latest features, which include a built-in polarizing lens, then you might be able to save even more by opting for an older model.

For example, the Garmin Dash Cam X210 costs £179.99 at Amazon (was £259.99) in the UK, or it's $249.99 at Amazon in the US (was $299.99) – it offers many of the same features as the X310.

Whatever model you opt for, Black Friday is a wise time to splurge. And if you need more buying advice, do check out our best dash cams guide, which is packed with helpful articles – such as how to install a dash cam – and includes other options for different user needs. Trust me, you won't find more comprehensive dash cam content elsewhere.
