Roof boxes, bike carriers & more easy to rent

We're happy to help you choose the right roof box, but please schedule an appointment in advance, as our location is not always staffed.

A €6 flat fee per rental covers mounting, dismounting, and basic cleaning of the rented items. Please ensure heavy dirt (e.g., sand) is removed before returning them.

At the moment, we are unable to offer insurance for each rental agreement. Many car insurance policies cover the roof box, rear box, or bike carrier under comprehensive insurance as a permanently attached accessory to the vehicle. Home insurance often covers the theft of items. Please check with your insurance provider for the regulations that apply to you.

If your desired time slot is unavailable, there are two possible reasons:

1.
Maximum number of pickups and returns reached
– To ensure a smooth process, each time slot has a limited number of available appointments. Once this capacity is reached, no further bookings can be made for that time.

2.
Items unavailable
– If the requested rental items are not available at the selected time, that time slot cannot be chosen.

We recommend selecting an alternative time or
contacting us
if you need a customized solution.

You can conveniently pay the rental fee at the time of booking using a debit card, credit card, or PayPal.

During your booking, you selected the specific date and time for the pickup or return of your rental item. This appointment was scheduled to meet your individual needs and ensure you receive optimal service. We kindly ask that you arrive on time for the scheduled appointment to help guarantee a smooth process. If your plans change unexpectedly, please notify us as early as possible via email – however, please note that on particularly busy days, last-minute changes may not be feasible. We appreciate your understanding and look forward to providing you with outstanding service.

Answer:
If your roof box does not close properly, there can be several reasons. Here are the most common issues and possible solutions:

1. The roof box is overloaded
Problem: The roof box is too full, and the lid cannot close properly.
Solution: The lid must close without pressure. Repack the box, distribute the luggage more evenly, and remove any bulky items if necessary.

2. The locking mechanism is blocked by foreign objects
Problem: Dirt, small objects or parts of your luggage are blocking the locking mechanism.
Solution: Check the lock and the rails for any foreign objects and remove them so the roof box can close properly again.

To help you determine which of our roof boxes is suitable for you, we have created an overview with the key details of each model.

In most cases, the whistling sound comes from the roof rack. Please make sure that the rack is properly mounted and that all openings and holes on the box are sealed.

Transporting pedelecs on the vehicle roof is generally not possible, as roof-mounted bike carriers have a weight limit of 20 kg, and most pedelecs — even without the battery — are significantly heavier. Additionally, pedelecs have a different frame geometry and wider frames than conventional bicycles, which means secure attachment cannot be guaranteed. We therefore advise against transporting pedelecs with roof-mounted bike carriers.

Both the bike carrier and the bicycles are secured with locks to prevent unauthorized access. We still recommend securing the bikes on the carrier with an additional lock. At the destination or when not in use, you should remove the bicycles from the carrier and store them in a secure location.

• Take the increased vehicle height into account – pay attention to low passages, parking garages and bridges, but also to trees in avenues
• Adapted driving style – crosswind sensitivity and the changed center of gravity can influence driving behavior.
• Regular safety check – Before every ride, check that the bikes are securely and correctly mounted.
• Consider fuel consumption – Higher air resistance can increase fuel consumption.

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.

No, the vehicle's original license plate may not simply be attached to the bicycle carrier or rear box. A duplicate license plate must be used, which carries the same combination as the original license plate but is issued without registration and inspection stickers.

The main difference between a thermoelectric cooler and a compressor cooler lies in their cooling technology and performance:

Thermoelectric Cooler:

• Uses a Peltier element that transfers heat from inside to outside using electricity.
• Can only cool up to 15–20°C below the ambient temperature.
• Lighter, more compact, and often cheaper than a compressor cooler.
• Can both cool and heat, depending on the setting.
• Ideal for short trips, picnics, or use in moderate temperatures.

Compressor Cooler:

• Works like a small refrigerator with a powerful compressor.
• Cooling is independent of the outside temperature – can reach temperatures as low as -22°C, even in high ambient temperatures.
• Consumes more energy but provides very efficient cooling.
• Perfect for longer trips, camping, or transporting temperature-sensitive products like food or medication.

If you're unsure which cooler is right for your needs, feel free to contact us for advice!
