If you’re thinking about hiring a roof box for your next trip, one of the first questions you might ask is, “Why does it matter which brand I choose?” The answer is simple — not all roof boxes are created equal.
At West Midlands Roof Box Hire, we only use Thule roof boxes, recognised worldwide as the gold standard for design, safety, and reliability. Here’s why they’re worth every penny and why choosing Thule can make all the difference to your next journey.
1. Safety and Security You Can Trust
When you’re driving at motorway speeds with hundreds of pounds of luggage above your head, you need to know it’s safe. Thule roof boxes go through rigorous safety testing, including wind-tunnel trials, crash simulations, and real-world endurance checks.
Each box features central locking systems and dual-opening lids that make access easy while keeping your belongings secure. When you hire from us, you can travel with complete peace of mind that your family’s gear is safe, even on long or rough journeys.
2. Designed for Every Car and Every Journey
Thule boxes aren’t “one-size-fits-all.” Their aerodynamic design and varied sizes make them ideal for everything from compact hatchbacks to large SUVs.
At West Midlands Roof Box Hire, we stock both 470L and 580L Thule roof boxes, ensuring you get the right size for your car and your trip — whether that’s a weekend break in the Peak District or a two-week drive to France.
Our team fits each box precisely to your vehicle’s roof bars, guaranteeing the perfect balance and fit every time.
3. Aerodynamic and Fuel-Efficient
Cheap roof boxes can be noisy and cause drag that increases fuel consumption. Thule boxes, on the other hand, are engineered to minimise resistance. Their sleek shape reduces wind noise and helps maintain your car’s fuel efficiency — an important consideration for long motorway drives.
When you’re driving for hours, that subtle design difference makes a huge impact on comfort and cost.
4. Built to Last, Maintained Like New
Thule’s commitment to quality means each box is built from strong, weather-resistant materials that withstand years of use.
At West Midlands Roof Box Hire, every box is cleaned, checked, and maintained after each hire, ensuring it’s in excellent condition for the next customer. You get all the benefits of a new, premium product — without having to buy or maintain it yourself.
5. Looks That Match Modern Vehicles
It’s not just about performance — Thule boxes look fantastic too. The gloss black finish and streamlined design complement today’s car styles, making your vehicle look modern and adventure-ready.
Many of our customers comment that they were surprised by how smart their car looked with a Thule box fitted — it’s functional and stylish at the same time.
6. The Smart Way to Access Premium Quality
Buying a Thule roof box outright can cost between £450 and £700, depending on the model. That’s a significant investment, especially if you only need it for occasional trips.
Hiring one from West Midlands Roof Box Hire costs just £85 for a week or £125 for two weeks, including full fitting and removal. You get the premium quality and convenience without the large upfront cost.
7. Trusted by Families Across the West Midlands
We’ve built our reputation by offering premium Thule products with personal service that big-name retailers can’t match. Whether you’re travelling with children, pets, or sporting gear, we’ll make sure your setup is safe, comfortable, and tailored to your needs.
When you hire from a trusted local business, you know you’re getting the best — not just in quality, but in service.
In Summary
Thule roof boxes are the clear choice for anyone who values quality, safety, and style. By hiring from West Midlands Roof Box Hire, you enjoy all the benefits of the world’s best roof boxes, fitted and ready for your next adventure, without the high cost or storage hassle.
