I want to get into CB Radio's and I'm looking at handheld ones, because I'm not allowed to put any antenna's on my roof (regulations and stuff) and I don't want to scratch the paint on my new car with an magnetic antenna. So i want to use a portable handheld CB like the Midland Alan 42 Multi in my car for when I'm on the road but is it worth it and how much range will I get approximately.

Nobody is using CB anymore. Better to get a tri-band HAM/FRS/GMRS type radio. BAOFENG is what I use..

Midland 75-822 comes at top on my list. It comes with a Battery Pack and Car kit. Can be used with rubber ducky antenna, or car mobile antenna. Has channel scan function too. It has Weather channels. It can be found for about $80 on Amazon, Walmart, etc. There may be cheaper Portable CB radios, but the 75-822 is the best value in my book and well worth here (https://www.whollyoutdoor.com/best-handheld-cb-radio-reviews/) you can check its reviews.
