🚗 Do I Need a Roof Box? 7 Signs It’s Time to Hire One for Your Next Trip
Planning a family getaway, festival weekend, or countryside camping trip? If your car boot is bursting before you've even packed snacks, it's time to consider a roof box hire — and here's why.
1. Your Boot Fills Before You’ve Packed the Essentials
If loading up for a weekend away turns into a game of Tetris, you’re not alone. A roof box gives you up to 500 litres of extra space, meaning you don’t have to choose between shoes and snacks.
2. You’ve Got Kids. And They Have Stuff.
Between buggies, toys, and “just-in-case” extras, kids come with cargo. A roof box clears your backseat, keeping the ride comfy and safe.
3. You’ve Got a Big Car — But Still Run Out of Room
Even SUVs and estate cars can feel cramped on long journeys. Hiring a roof box adds smart storage above, not within, your car — without compromising legroom or visibility.
4. You're Planning a Staycation or UK Road Trip
Exploring the Lake District? Hitting Cornish beaches? Roof box hire means you can take everything you need — from walking boots to wetsuits — without stuffing bags between passengers.
5. You Only Need It Once or Twice a Year
Buying a quality roof box can cost £300–£800. But hiring one from Midlands Roof Box Hire gives you all the benefit without the expense (or the garage space needed to store it afterward).
6. You Want to Save Fuel (Yes, Really)
A common myth is that roof boxes destroy fuel efficiency. The truth? A well-fitted, aerodynamic box will have minimal impact — and reduces the drag that comes with overloading your car's interior or boot.
7. You Just Need Life to Be Easier
Pre-fitted and ready to go, our roof boxes are delivered and collected by us. No fiddling, no tools, no stress.

Why Hiring a Roof Box Makes More Sense Than Buying One
Let’s be honest — buying a roof box isn’t cheap. And if you’re only using it once or twice a year, is it really worth all that money, storage space, and hassle? That’s where we come in.
At Midlands Roof Box Hire, we’ve helped loads of families, couples, dog owners, and even tradespeople get that extra bit of space without spending £500+ on kit they’ll barely use.
💸 Save your money for the adventure
Most of our customers save between £450–£500 by hiring instead of buying. That’s money better spent on your trip — whether it’s a few more meals out, extra days away, or just fuel for the journey.
🧰 No fiddling with fittings
If you’ve ever tried to fit a roof box yourself, you’ll know it can be a pain. Wrong bars, awkward straps, scratched paintwork — it’s just not worth the stress.
We professionally fit everything, talk you through it, and make sure you’re good to go.
🧳 No storing a big plastic box at home
Roof boxes are huge. When you're not using it, it’s basically a giant surfboard taking up room in your garage. With us, you only have it when you need it — no long-term storage, no mess.
🚗 We deliver – or you come to us
Need us to come to you? No problem – for a small fee we’ll fit your roof box at your home. Or if it’s easier, swing by us for a pre-booked fitting slot. No waiting around, no wasted time.
✅ In short…
Hiring a roof box just makes sense. Whether it’s a summer holiday, a camping trip, a trip to IKEA, or just needing more room for the dog crate — we’ve got you covered.
Book early to avoid disappointment — it’s getting busy already!

Hiring a Roof Box – The Smarter Way to Travel
Let’s be honest – packing for a trip can be a nightmare. Whether it’s a family holiday, a weekend getaway, or just a big day out, somehow there’s never enough room in the car. That’s where we come in.
At Midlands Roof Box Hire, we take the stress out of squeezing everything into your boot. Instead of buying an expensive roof box that you'll only use once or twice a year (and then have to store somewhere!), you can simply hire one from us for a fraction of the cost.
We’ve helped loads of people save money, save space, and travel comfortably. Our large and extra-large Thule boxes mean there’s plenty of room for all your stuff – whether it’s luggage, camping gear, or kids' bits and bobs. Plus, we professionally fit everything for you in just 30 minutes, either at our place or at your doorstep.
It’s all about making things easy. No storage hassles. No DIY fitting stress. Just turn up, get sorted, and hit the road.
We’ve already had customers drive over from Gloucestershire because they couldn’t find anything like this closer to home – and didn’t fancy splashing out on a roof box they’d only use once a year. That’s the kind of feedback we love.
So if you’ve got a trip coming up and you need more space, drop us a message. We’ll get you sorted in no time.
