About
This cargo box mounts easily to factory and aftermarket roof racks. A roof rack is required for this rental. If you're unsure if your car can handle this item, or if you need to purchase a roof rack for your vehicle, please give us a call. We will help you mount the box to your roof when you pick it up and show you how it works. We ask that you not remove the box during your travels to make sure it is properly installed for travel.
XL size provides maximum space efficiency with full trunk access and minimal risk of contact with the cargo box, thanks to its forward position on the vehicle roof. Can easily fit 5-7 pairs of skis (max length 195 cm), 3-5 snowboards, or up to 165 lbs of gear (18 cu ft). It is lockable and opens on either side of the car for easy access.
You can pick up the cargo box any time after 10 am on the day your rental period begins or the prior day from 3-5pm.
The cargo box must be returned by 12pm after the rental period has rented. (If your rental ends on a Monday, it must be returned by noon on Tuesday.)
