FAQ
Good to know.
What is roof box hire, and how does it work?
Roof box hire lets you rent a quality hard-shell roof box instead of buying one. You book online, collect the box from a local hub (or have it delivered or fitted where offered), use it for your trip, and return it when you’re back. Roof Box Hire UK’s hubs are independent local businesses who own and maintain their own boxes.
What is the best way to hire a roof box in the UK?
Roof Box Hire UK is a dedicated roof-box hire network: local collection hubs, real product choice (specific makes, models and capacities), optional fitting and delivery services, and secure online booking. You book online and collect locally — no couriers, no oversized parcel returns.
How much does it cost to hire a roof box?
Prices are set by each hub and vary by box make, model and capacity — check the hub’s page or the booking flow for live prices. Where a hub applies tapered long-hire pricing, the later days of a longer hire get progressively cheaper, so longer trips work out at a lower price per day. Fitting and delivery, where offered, are priced by the hub and shown before you pay.
Which roof box should I choose?
It depends on your car and your load. Hubs list specific makes and models with capacity in litres, dimensions and opening style — a bigger box swallows family-holiday luggage or skis, while a slimmer box suits smaller cars and lighter loads. Check the box’s bar compatibility against your car, or use a hub’s fitting service and let them sort it.
Do I need roof bars?
Yes — a roof box mounts to roof bars, not directly to the roof. If you don’t have bars, participating hubs can advise on what fits your car and offer a fitting service.
Own roof boxes? Run a shop?
List your boxes, set your own prices and keep 85% of every hire — we bring the bookings.
