Trunk bike racks

A Thule trunk bike rack can be perfect for transporting one or more bikes on the rear of your car – especially if your car doesn't have a towbar or hitch.

Mount location

Mount location

Roof
A roof-mounted bike carrier is a common carrier used to transport race bikes, but can be used with other bikes as well. The carrier is mounted on the roof, giving you full access to the trunk of your car. One carrier carries one bike only, but you can mount additional carriers on your roof to transport more bikes or other gear.

Towbar
Towbar-mounted bike carriers are the most common bike carriers. They can carry 1-4 bikes, are easy to mount to the car and limit heavy and high lifting.

Rear
A rear door-mounted bike carrier is an ideal option if you don't have roof racks or a towbar on your car. Foldable and easy to store when not in use, the carrier is mounted on the rear door of your car and can carry 1-4 bikes. Please note that a rear door bike carrier does not fit all cars depending on the size, construction, used material and design of your car's rear door as well as on rear spoiler / windscreen wiper and other car-specific regulations.

Number of bikes

Select your car

Select your car

To get a recommended Thule product, you need to supply your car information – make, year, and model.

The list only shows cars that have been successfully tested with a Thule carrier. If you cannot find your car in the list it is likely due to one of the following reasons:

  • your car has a plastic/weak/large spoiler
  • your car has a plastic/glass or a divided rear door
  • the car manufacturer does not allow the use of rear door-mounted carriers on this car
  • your car is very new to the market (available for less than six months)

Please read the fit tips carefully for restrictions on spoilers etc.
