After a family holiday or weekend trip, many people realise something they didn’t consider before buying a roof box — where to store it.
Roof boxes are large, awkwardly shaped, and not easy to lift or hide away. They take up valuable garage or loft space and are prone to scratches, dents, or damage if not stored properly.
That’s one of the biggest reasons so many people are now choosing to hire their roof boxes instead of buying.
At West Midlands Roof Box Hire, based in Tamworth, we take care of fitting, cleaning, and storage — so you only have to think about one thing: your next trip.
Here’s why hiring makes sense for anyone short on space, time, or patience.
1. Roof Boxes Take Up More Room Than You Think
Even medium-sized roof boxes are typically around two metres long. That’s the size of a full dining table — not something you can easily tuck into a corner of your garage.
For families with bikes, tools, and garden equipment, that space is already valuable. And storing it in a loft isn’t much better — it’s bulky, hard to lift, and vulnerable to heat and cold damage.
Hiring means no more trying to balance a giant plastic box behind the lawnmower.
2. Safe Storage Is a Real Challenge
Roof boxes should always be stored in a dry, stable environment, ideally suspended or mounted to prevent warping.
Many homeowners simply don’t have that setup, and over time, boxes stored incorrectly can crack, twist, or lose their seal.
When you hire from us, you return it after your trip, and we handle all cleaning, maintenance, and safe storage until it’s needed again.
3. Avoid Long-Term Costs and Hassle
Buying a roof box can seem like a good investment — until you factor in everything else that comes with it.
You’ll need:
- Roof bars (often £100–£200)
- Fixings and locks
- Space to store it
- Time to clean and check it between trips
Hiring gives you the full service — from fitting to cleaning to storage — all for one simple price.
From £85 for one week or £125 for two weeks, it’s a far easier way to enjoy extra space without ongoing hassle.
4. The Condition Stays Perfect
Because we clean, check, and maintain each Thule roof box after every hire, they’re always in pristine condition for the next customer.
You’ll never deal with cracked seals, jammed locks, or missing fittings — all common problems for people who own and store their boxes at home.
Hiring means you get premium quality, every single time.
5. Great for Occasional Travellers
Many of our customers hire roof boxes once or twice a year — for family holidays, camping trips, or Christmas visits.
Buying something you’ll only use a few times just doesn’t make sense. With hiring, you simply book, collect, travel, return — and that’s it.
6. Local, Reliable, and Hassle-Free
At West Midlands Roof Box Hire, we make it easy. You can book online or over the phone, visit our Tamworth fitting unit, and be on your way within minutes.
When you return, we’ll remove the box and store it safely until the next time you need it. It’s convenient, affordable, and completely stress-free.
In Summary
Owning a roof box sounds great — until it’s taking up half your garage.
By hiring locally from West Midlands Roof Box Hire, you get all the benefits of a premium Thule roof box without the burden of ownership.
No cleaning. No storing. No worrying.
