Quality that speaks for itself
When it comes to roof boxes, not all brands are created equal. For more than 75 years, Thule has set the global standard in safety, performance, and innovation. From their sleek design to their trusted durability, Thule roof boxes are built for one thing — helping families and travellers move freely, safely, and in style.
At West Midlands Roof Box Hire, we exclusively use Thule products. Why? Because their roof boxes combine practical capacity, secure fittings and durable construction for holiday travel. When you hire a Thule 470L Large or 580L XXL roof box from us, you’re getting premium engineering designed for comfort, security, and peace of mind.
The story behind Thule
Thule began in Sweden in 1942 with a simple mission — to make it easier for people to bring what they care about most. Over the decades, they’ve become the world leader in roof boxes and vehicle cargo systems, combining Scandinavian design with practical innovation.
Today, Thule is known across the globe for creating products that stand up to tough conditions, from snowy mountain roads to long-distance motorway drives. Their boxes undergo rigorous testing to ensure they can handle everything from high-speed wind resistance to heavy rain and extreme temperatures.
When you hire a Thule box, you’re not just hiring space — you’re hiring 80 years of trusted design and safety expertise.
Strength and safety come first
Every Thule roof box is tested to meet and exceed the highest safety standards. The materials are built to withstand impact, wind, and vibration, protecting your belongings no matter the weather.
At West Midlands Roof Box Hire, safety is our top priority. That’s why we inspect and maintain each box before every hire. The locking systems are checked, fittings are tightened, and hinges are lubricated. When you drive away, you can be confident that your roof box is secure, balanced, and ready for any journey.
Features that make Thule the safest choice:
- Dual-side opening for easy and stable access.
- Central locking system with a key that can only be removed when fully secure.
- Quick-grip mounts for a tight, even hold on your roof bars.
- Aerodynamic shape to reduce drag and noise.
Every detail is designed for driver confidence and comfort.
Designed for the modern family
Christmas travel can be hectic. The car’s full, the boot won’t close, and everyone’s trying to squeeze in that last gift bag. Thule roof boxes make family travel simpler. Their spacious interiors and easy access points mean you can pack more efficiently and keep the car clutter-free.
The 470L model is ideal for smaller families or couples heading on a festive break. It’s compact yet roomy enough for coats, gifts, and luggage.
The 580L XXL is perfect for larger families, ski trips, or long-distance travel. It can comfortably hold multiple suitcases, winter gear, and bulky items without compromising comfort.
Both are sleek, finished in gloss black, and look fantastic on any vehicle — adding practicality and a touch of style at the same time.
Weatherproof protection for your journey
British winters can be unpredictable. One minute it’s clear skies, the next it’s sleet or snow. That’s why weatherproofing matters. Thule roof boxes are built with precision-moulded seals that keep your belongings dry and secure no matter what’s happening outside.
Whether you’re driving through a downpour on the M6 or parking overnight in freezing conditions, your gear stays protected. A roof box can provide useful protected storage for suitable items such as bedding, clothing and securely packed luggage, subject to the box and vehicle load limits.
The aerodynamic edge
Older roof boxes often create extra drag, increasing noise and reducing fuel efficiency. Thule’s aerodynamic shape solves that problem. Their boxes are engineered in wind tunnels to reduce resistance, ensuring smoother driving and lower fuel consumption.
For families travelling long distances — whether it’s to Cornwall, Scotland, or the Alps — that design makes a noticeable difference. The car feels stable, quieter, and more efficient, even when fully loaded.
Style that complements your car
A roof box isn’t just practical — it’s part of your car’s look. Thule’s sleek Scandinavian design ensures your vehicle looks modern and professional, whether you’re driving a family SUV, saloon, or estate. The gloss black finish of our 470L and 580L models reflects light beautifully, creating a premium appearance that fits any make or model.
We clean, polish and maintain our roof boxes between hires to keep them well presented and ready for the next journey.
