Cargo boxes work with a wide range of vehicles including sedans, crossovers, and SUVs.

When you submit your vehicle year, make, and model, we confirm:

• roof compatibility
• cargo box size for your vehicle
• rear hatch clearance

Roof Rax installs cargo box rentals on many of the most popular vehicles in Southern California, including:

Common SUVs and crossovers
Toyota RAV4
Tesla Model Y
Honda CR-V
Subaru Outback
Subaru Forester
Toyota Highlander
Ford Bronco
Jeep Grand Cherokee
Volvo XC-90

Many sedans can work too
Our slim, low-profile cargo boxes are designed to maintain stability and visibility on vehicles like:

Tesla Model 3
Toyota Camry
Toyota Prius
Honda Accord
Honda Civic

Many other vehicles may also be compatible depending on roof configuration.

Most vehicles with roof crossbars are compatible, and for some vehicles we can provide crossbars as part of the installation.

If your vehicle isn’t compatible, we’ll let you know before scheduling. There’s no commitment when checking availability.

Most cargo boxes mount to roof crossbars—the two bars that run left-to-right across your roof.

Many vehicles already have compatible crossbars installed. If you’re not sure, that’s completely fine. When you submit the availability form, we review your vehicle details and roof setup to confirm compatibility before scheduling installation.

If your vehicle needs a different setup, we’ll let you know the best option.

Cargo boxes are best for bulky, lightweight items that would otherwise take up space inside your vehicle.

Common items include:

• Carry-on size luggage

• Duffel bags

• Sleeping bags and camping gear

• Beach chairs or towels

• Ski or snowboard gear

For safe travel, it’s best to distribute weight evenly inside the box and place heavier items toward the center.

Most Thule cargo boxes support a maximum cargo weight of about 160 lbs, depending on the vehicle and crossbars.

Our cargo boxes are lockable and weather-resistant, helping protect your gear during road trips and highway travel.

Cargo boxes can slightly reduce fuel efficiency because they add wind resistance.

However, modern Thule cargo boxes are designed to be aerodynamic and minimize drag.

Most drivers notice only a small change in fuel economy during road trips.

Once you submit the form, we review a few things to make sure your rental will work smoothly:

• your vehicle compatibility
• your roof setup or crossbars
• your location and delivery area
• our installation availability for your dates

If everything looks good, we’ll text you to confirm availability, usually within minutes during business hours.

At that point, we’ll send a secure Stripe payment link to reserve your rental and lock in your dates.

About a week before your trip, we’ll reach out to schedule your installation window. In most cases, we install the cargo box the evening before your trip, so you can leave whenever you're ready the next day. If your schedule requires a different installation time, we’ll work with you to find a convenient option.

Yes. Our Thule cargo boxes are designed and tested for highway travel and long road trips.

During installation, we securely mount the cargo box to your vehicle’s crossbars and verify that everything is properly tightened and aligned before you leave.

Thule cargo boxes use reinforced mounting systems and locking mechanisms to keep the box stable during normal driving conditions.

We also review basic loading guidelines with you during installation—such as distributing weight evenly and keeping heavier items toward the center—to help ensure safe travel.

Buying a cargo box and crossbars can easily cost $1,000 or more, and you still need to install and store it when not in use.

Renting gives you extra storage only when you need it.
