Which car bike with luggage rack to choose?

Are you planning to take a bike on holiday? There are many solutions that allow you to transport two-wheeled vehicles in a car - one of them is a bicycle rack with a tailgate. Which model to choose?

 A tailgate-mounted rack is a good alternative to a towbar-mounted rack. Not every car is equipped with such an element. In the case of the rack rack, all parts for assembly are included in the purchased kit. Racks of this type also have an advantage over models mounted on the roof of a car - mounting the bike is easier, because it does not need to be lifted.

The trunk has a number of advantages. These include the mentioned ease of installation and the absence of requirements for the presence of additional elements (as opposed to roof brackets, where the corresponding beams must be installed).

Bicycle rack on the rear door of the car - disadvantages?

Obviously, choosing this method of transporting bicycles has more than just advantages. Most of these types of handles do not have theft protection - keep this in mind when you stop while driving and are not near the car all the time. Carrying bicycles in this way also limits the visibility through the rear window of the car - it takes some getting used to.

Bicycle rack with a lid - which one to choose?

 Before deciding on a particular model, consider how many bikes you are going to carry. Typically, luggage racks allow you to carry from one to three copies. However, you can also find ones that can fit up to four bikes. This is the best solution if you are planning a family trip. You should pay attention to whether this model will fit your car.

It is also important what materials the trunk lid is made of. A good choice would be a model with steel strips. It will not be one of the cheapest, but it guarantees you not only safety during transportation, but also ease of installation.

A rear door bike rack is a good choice if your car doesn't have a tow bar. Before buying, it is worth checking if the bikes can be mounted in such a way that they do not obscure the license plate or headlights. In addition, you need to make sure that the trunk will fit your car, as not all models are universal.
