Owning means dealing with storage and replacement. Renting reduces clutter and waste by keeping fewer boxes in circulation while giving you top-quality gear.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need roof crossbars to rent a cargo box?
Yes. Our cargo boxes require compatible roof crossbars (two parallel bars that run left-to-right across your roof).If you’re unsure whether your vehicle has the right setup, select “Not sure” on the availability form. We’ll review your vehicle details (and a photo if needed) and confirm compatibility before scheduling installation.Note: Platform and basket-style racks aren’t compatible.
Do you deliver to my area?
For a limited time, we're offering FREE delivery anywhere in Orange County. If you're outside the OC, a delivery fee may apply. You'll enter your ZIP code on the availability form, and we’ll confirm everything when we follow up.
What if it doesn’t fit my vehicle?
We confirm compatibility before every booking. If it doesn't fit, you don’t pay—zero risk.
Why is this so much cheaper than REI or other rental shops?
We keep overhead low and pass the savings to you. No retail markup, no hidden fees—just premium gear, local delivery, and easy installs.
Why should I rent instead of buy?
Buying a cargo box and crossbars costs $1,000+, and you need to store and install them. With Roof Rax, you only pay when you need.
How does payment work?
You’ll pay by credit card when we deliver and install your gear—no upfront payment required. A fully refundable $300 security deposit is included to protect the equipment and is returned once everything is picked up in good condition. Quick, secure, and hassle-free.
Is Roof Rax insured?
Yes—Roof Rax is fully insured for cargo box delivery and installation.
Can I add a YETI cooler to my rental?
Yes—for a limited time, every booking includes a free YETI Tundra 45 cooler rental ($49 value).
Daniel, Founder of Roof Rax
I built the service I wish existed.
Roof Rax started with a simple frustration. I was planning a camping trip with my wife and dogs. With all our gear, dog supplies, and a friend joining us, we were going to run out of space fast.I thought about renting a truck, but it felt excessive and expensive. A cargo box seemed like the right solution. Then I realized how confusing it was to choose one. Do I need crossbars? What size fits my vehicle? Will it even fit? The process felt stressful and unclear.So I built the service I wanted. Simple. Premium. Personal.With Roof Rax, you can check availability online in minutes. I personally deliver and install every cargo box myself.
