Same idea. Bigger boot.

Roof Box Hire UK is the sister company of BikeBox Hire UK — the nationwide network that made hiring a bike travel box as easy as booking a hotel. Brothers Charlie and James spent years building that network hub by hub, booking by booking, and learned exactly what it takes to run local hire at national scale.

Roof boxes were the obvious next step: the same problem — expensive kit you use a few times a year and store the rest — for a far bigger group of people. Families, skiers, campers, anyone whose boot is just never quite big enough.

Roof Box Hire UK works differently to most hire businesses. Our hubs are independent local businesses who own and maintain their own roof boxes and set their own prices. We provide the booking platform, the payments, and the customers — the hub provides the boxes, the local knowledge and the fitting know-how.

When you hire through us, you're hiring directly from that local business — their name is on your receipt, and your money stays local. We think that's exactly how it should be.

The booking platform behind Roof Box Hire UK is the same one James painstakingly designed and battle-tested at BikeBox Hire UK. Real-time availability, automatic reminders, double-booking protection built into the database itself — everything working behind the scenes so that when you turn up on the morning of your trip, your box is exactly where it should be.

A decent roof box costs hundreds of pounds. It takes up a huge amount of space. You use it a few times a year at most, and the rest of the time it sits in your garage gathering dust.

We genuinely don't think most people should own one. Hiring makes so much more sense — pick up a box from a hub near you, have it fitted, load up for the holiday, and drop it back when you're home. No storage headaches. No big upfront cost. No dust.

Our mission is simple: a hub in every town and city across the UK, so nobody has to travel far — or buy — to put a roof box on their car. We're signing up hubs now, and every new hub means more boxes, more choice and more local fitting expertise.

Own roof boxes, or run a shop that could? Become a hub — you set the prices and keep 85% of every hire.

It takes a few minutes. Find your nearest hub and choose your dates online, pick the box that fits your car and your trip, and pay securely by card. We email a confirmation with a QR code.

On your collection date, pick the box up from the hub — or have it delivered or fitted where the hub offers it. Load up, go, enjoy the trip. When you're back, return the box to the hub. Done.
