Bike carrier for a Toyota Yaris 09

Payton

Im looking for a bike carrier to transport my Cube bike around on. Has anyone got any ideas what type would be ideal for an 09 Yaris, I was looking at one in Halfords which looks good. I'll be useing it probably every second weekend. I had a look at the Saris range and the look good but pricey :eek: Any advice would be super. Thanks.

I got one of the 621 ones for my Zafira, only used it once for a trip to Connemara yet but it does seem to be a solid enough bit of kit.

Really good quick service from Micks Garage too.

I forgot I had a look at those last night, a good choice.

Couldn't you just carry the Yaris on your bike?

I had a Yaris. Why not fold down the back seats and just put the bike in the car? The bike fits in without even taking off the wheels. (works unless you need to use more than the driver and front passenger seat.)

I've heard people had issues with Halfords racks being of poor quality and had to return them.

I got a Hollywood Express car rack for my Swift. I've used it on a Focus as well. It has top, side and bottom straps so is super secure! also holds 3 bikes. I've been up and down from Dublin -> Kerry a few times now and it doesn't move in the slightest.

I have two other friends with the same rack and both find it great as well.

I got mine in CycleWays and i've seen them in Cycle SuperStore as well. Mine was ~ €75.
