Introduction: A Common Travel Problem

Whether it’s a family holiday to the coast, a countryside camping trip, or a journey across the UK with your dog, there’s one issue many travellers face — lack of space. If you’ve ever tried to fit everything into the boot of your car while the kids, pets, and partner look on anxiously, you’ll know the struggle. That’s where hiring a roof box becomes a game-changer.

At West Midlands Roof Box Hire, based in Tamworth and Wolverhampton, we’re here to take the hassle out of your holiday packing. In this guide, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about roof box hire — from how it works to why it makes so much sense.

Chapter 1: What Is a Roof Box?

A roof box is a secure, weatherproof container that fits to the roof bars of your car. It gives you extra storage space without sacrificing comfort inside your vehicle. Ideal for family holidays, sporting trips, camping adventures, or even airport drop-offs, a roof box is your best ally for packing efficiently.

Chapter 2: Why Hiring Is Better Than Buying

1. Lower Costs
Purchasing a high-quality roof box and roof bars can easily cost £500–£700. For something you might only use once or twice a year, that’s a huge expense. Hiring from West Midlands Roof Box Hire starts from under £10 per day, offering massive savings.

2. No Storage Hassles
Let’s be honest — roof boxes are bulky. Most people don’t want to give up valuable garage or loft space for something that’s used occasionally. Hiring means you return it once your trip is over. Simple.

3. Top-Quality Equipment
We stock only premium Thule boxes, including our most popular XXL 580L dual-opening models — giving you room for everything from prams and suitcases to tents and paddleboards.

4. No DIY Fitting Stress
Our professional team will fit the roof box for you at either our Tamworth or Wolverhampton location, ensuring your journey is safe and secure from the get-go.

Chapter 3: Who Needs a Roof Box?

Families with Kids
Between prams, toys, clothes, food, and that emergency tablet charger, you’ll run out of boot space fast. A roof box gives you room to breathe.

Pet Owners
Many of our customers travel with dogs. With pets in the boot, there’s no space left for luggage — unless you go up top.

Camping & Staycationers
Planning a UK camping holiday? Tents, sleeping bags, cooking gear — it adds up quickly. Our large or XXL boxes will carry it all with ease.

Outdoor Enthusiasts
Cycling, fishing, hiking or surfing? You’ll need gear, and a roof box ensures you never have to choose between comfort and equipment.

Chapter 4: What Size Roof Box Do I Need?

We offer two main sizes:

• Large (470 litres) — Great for weekend trips or couples
• XXL (580 litres) — Perfect for families or longer breaks

We’ll help you choose the right one based on your car and your packing list. Many of our customers are surprised just how much you can fit in!
