Yes, a tow hitch is absolutely required. Rear boxes are mounted on a carrier system that attaches directly to the vehicle’s tow hitch. Without a tow hitch, using a rear box is not possible.
What should I consider?
- Permissible tow hitch load (the maximum weight the hitch can support).
- A duplicate license plate is required. You can add this as an accessory when booking
- Country-specific regulations: Depending on your travel destination, a warning sign may be required (e.g., in Italy and Spain). This can be rented as an accessory.
If your vehicle does not have a tow hitch, retrofitting may be a practical option.
