Not sure if your bike box will fit in your car? Have a look at the table below for some of the most common makes and models. Please note that this is just a guide and it’s worth measuring your box and car boot with a good old fashioned tape measure. Feel free to contact your local hub to arrange a convenient time to try putting the boxes in your car before your trip.
The guide is based on our Velovault bike boxes unless a other make is mentioned.
If you have a car not featured below that you know how many average sized rigid bike boxes fit inside, please email all the info and pictures if you have them to kerr@bikeboxonline.com the guide relies very much on your feedback.
