If you’ve ever struggled to fit the pushchair, the camping gear, and everyone’s luggage into the boot at the start of a family holiday, you’ll know that feeling — we need more space. A roof box solves the problem instantly. But do you really need to buy one?
For most people, the answer is no. Here’s why hiring makes far more sense.
The Cost of Buying vs. Hiring
A decent roof box will set you back anywhere from £200 to £600 or more — and that’s before you add roof bars if your car doesn’t already have them. Then there’s the cost of fitting, somewhere to store it when it’s not in use, and eventually replacing it when the plastic fades or the locks wear out.
If you’re heading away two or three times a year, you could hire a quality roof box for every single trip and still spend less than buying one outright. Hiring means you only pay when you actually need it — not for the fifty weeks a year it would otherwise be sitting in your garage.
No Storage Headaches
Roof boxes are big. Even when clipped closed, they take up a huge amount of space — a garage corner, a section of loft, or a spare room that you’d rather have back. When you hire, it goes home as soon as your trip is done. No clutter, no problem.
No Maintenance, No Repairs
Owned roof boxes need regular attention — hinges, locks, mounting hardware, and seals all need checking. If something breaks, that’s your cost to sort. When you hire from us, you get a box that’s been inspected, cleaned, and ready to go. Any issues are ours to deal with, not yours.
Quality You Can Count On
At Warwickshire Roofbox Hire, we use Kamei roof boxes — a premium German brand trusted by vehicle manufacturers including Mercedes as a factory-approved supplier. You’re getting a well-engineered box with a secure dual-side locking system and generous, genuinely usable capacity.
