Recommend a bike rack

Redsoxfan

As the title says, looking for a bike rack, to suit a saloon car (no towbar), carry up to 3 bikes. My budget is around €100.

I did get a recommendation for one on Chain Reaction but it's been discontinued. This one looks like the closest to it.

Bought one in Argos (shame) 4 years ago. Was less than 100. Fits thre bikes and is sturdy as hell. Check them online. Just an option.

OP, do you have a roof rack?

No, should have mentioned that I don't and won't be getting one.

Anyone buy one from Mick's Garage?

Cheers for the tip on Argos, I'll have a look there - Halfords only have one that looks like it will suit and some of the reviews are poor.

On the same subject... can anyone recommend a rack to fit a Skoda Octavia. I have been told clips should not be used on the Glass lid of the boot as they could chip same and break the water proof rubber seals - therefore there is NO suitable rack for an Octavia??

Any comments on that theory???

In a previous thread on the subject, somebody mentioned small 'dumbbells' which go inside the tailgate opening and to which the rack clips somehow attach. The dumbbell diverts the pressure away from the glass tailgate and onto the interior frame or some such.
