    Saris Bones seems to be the go-to choice around these parts.
    They're available for one, two or three bikes.
    Check compatibility with Renault Clio, there can be a problem, if car has a rear roof spoiler.
    I assume, you don't have a tow bar

    They look great - have an estate with roof rails on the car, would it better to get one of these or stick the bikes up top? I assume you'd have to remove the rear rack to open the boot?

    No, you can open the boot with the rack attached.
    They are available in different colours.
    Personally, I think bikes look better on the roof. Be careful with indoor car parks, barriers etc.
    I reckon a Saris 2 would work out cheaper than a two bike roof carrier.
    A Saris Bones 2 is 125 yoyo on Wiggle.

    Have a Google for Hollywood racks as well. I have a 3-bike one here that never got used but it's for saloon cars with a boot unfortunately.

    Are the ones from Halfords any good? If so, they'd a cheaper option.
    I'm looking at getting a bike rack for an SUV.

    I've a Hollywood rack that I use on a hatchback with a fairly pronounced spoiler from factory, it is a 3 bicycle carrier but will not take a 3rd bike, on my car anyway, no issues otherwise and I've done some decent milage with it.

    I too have an estate with built-in roof racks, and I have been looking into this a bit now that kids bikes are getting too big to fit into the boot, and they are pestering wife to get a bike as well.

    Roof racks works out expensive - you need the cross-bars, and then more holders, one per bike etc.

    This RockBros suction mounts looks cheaper overall (for up to three bikes) - it's a cheaper version of the SeaSucker I believe. I wonder if these are any good?
