An automobile umbrella apparatus for use with an automobile window includes a base member having an arch shape that nests atop the lower window frame of an automobile. A mounting shaft extends upwardly from the base member is length adjustable to span between the lower and upper window frame members of an automobile. A mounting fin is coupled to the mounting shaft proximate a distal end and has a wedge shape configured to engage an upper window frame member in a friction fit relationship. An umbrella pole includes a proximal end pivotally coupled to the upper end of the mounting shaft and an opposed distal end. An umbrella canopy is operatively coupled to the distal end of the umbrella pole and movable between a retracted configuration loosely surrounding the umbrella pole and a deployed configuration extending away from the umbrella pole so as to shield or shade an area thereunder.
