For many families, travelling together is one of life’s greatest joys — road trips, weekends away, holidays by the coast, or visiting relatives. But anyone who’s ever packed for a family getaway knows how quickly the excitement can turn into a logistical headache.
The car fills up faster than you expect. The kids’ legs get cramped, there’s nowhere for the dog to sit comfortably, and your rearview mirror disappears under a pile of luggage.
That’s where a Thule roof box from West Midlands Roof Box Hire makes all the difference. With the right setup, every family journey can go from stressful to simple — and it doesn’t have to cost a fortune.
1. Why Space Changes Everything
A roof box might seem like a small addition, but the impact is huge. With up to 580 litres of additional storage, a Thule roof box gives you the freedom to pack comfortably without compromising passenger space.
Suddenly, there’s room for everything — suitcases, walking boots, sports gear, toys, and even the dog bed. Inside the car, there’s calm instead of clutter, and everyone can travel in comfort.
As one of our customers put it, “Hiring a roof box was the best decision we made. The kids stopped complaining before we even left Tamworth!”
2. The Perfect Companion for Every Family Adventure
From day trips to week-long holidays, roof boxes are perfect for all occasions. We regularly fit boxes for families heading to:
- Center Parcs and Haven Parks
- Camping trips and caravan sites
- Coastal holidays in Devon, Cornwall, and Wales
- Weekend getaways to the Lake District or Peak District
No matter your destination, a Thule roof box helps you get there comfortably — and with everything you need neatly packed away.
3. Hire, Don’t Buy — The Smart Way to Travel
Many people think about buying a roof box, but once they realise the cost and storage issues, they change their minds.
Buying a new Thule roof box and roof bars can easily cost over £700, and you’ll still need somewhere to keep it when not in use.
Hiring from West Midlands Roof Box Hire means you get the same top-quality product — expertly fitted, cleaned, and ready to use — for just:
- £85 for a week
- £125 for two weeks
No deposit. No hidden charges. No stress.
4. Professionally Fitted for Peace of Mind
We don’t just hand you a box and send you on your way. Our team fits every Thule roof box professionally at our Tamworth unit, ensuring it’s properly secured and balanced.
Each fitting includes a safety check of all clamps, locks, and seals. You’ll also receive a quick demonstration of how to open, close, and load your box safely.
The whole process takes around 15 minutes, and you’ll leave knowing your car is ready for any journey ahead.
5. Safer, Smarter, and More Comfortable
A properly fitted roof box improves safety by keeping your belongings secure and out of the cabin. No more loose bags, blocked mirrors, or piles of luggage behind seats.
It also helps balance your car’s weight and stability — particularly important for longer drives on motorways or winding country roads.
And thanks to Thule’s aerodynamic design, you’ll enjoy a quieter ride with minimal impact on fuel efficiency.
6. Built for British Weather
Spring in Britain can throw anything your way — sunshine one minute, showers the next. That’s why we only use Thule roof boxes, built from tough, weather-resistant materials.
Each box is lockable and fully waterproof, keeping your belongings safe and dry wherever you travel.
No more wet bags, soggy jackets, or worrying about leaks — your roof box is designed to handle it all.
7. A Sustainable Travel Choice
Hiring rather than buying is also a more eco-friendly way to travel. By reusing high-quality Thule equipment, you’re reducing manufacturing waste and extending the lifespan of every box.
At West Midlands Roof Box Hire, we maintain and service each box after every hire, ensuring it’s always in excellent condition for the next family.
8. Perfect for Growing Families
Family needs change over time — and hiring gives you flexibility. Whether you’re travelling with toddlers, teenagers, or grandparents, you can choose the right size box for each trip.
You’ll never outgrow your setup or be stuck storing equipment you don’t need. It’s a simple, flexible solution that fits around your life.
9. Why Customers Keep Coming Back
We’re proud to see so many familiar faces returning each year. Once families experience how much easier a roof box makes travel, they rarely go back to packing without one.
Many book again for summer holidays, autumn breaks, and even Christmas visits. The comfort and convenience speak for themselves.
