Sarah Vodden

Brilliant experience with this company. Would definitely recommend.

Claudia

Great and hassle-free service. Only two-hour window to wait for fitting at home. Great communication. Will use again and can highly recommend! Thank you!

Cat Lewis

Amazing service for a complex install. We got a roof rack for a 65kg roof tent. We needed a specific clamp kit for our car as we didn’t have manufacturer raised longitudinal roof rails, just a plain roof. They had the right kit for the car and they were able to loan us the clamp kit and install the roof rack for us and also helped us get the tent back on the roof. He was very astute at ensuring all fixings were secure and demonstrated how to remove should we need to. Very informative, safety focused and efficient. Definitely a service that goes above and beyond purely for customer satisfaction. Would highly recommend, even if not local to the area. The install area even has a fully serviced toilet which is convenient. Thank you to Nigel who patiently took on more work than originally planned, working after 5pm for us!

Faye

Amazing service from Welwyn Roofbox Hire. First time customer, with a complicated install because of our roof. Fit us in at a time that worked for us and was really flexible both times. Let us extend our hire. Went above and beyond when we returned and not only fit our new roof bars but also with the added removal and installation of a tent box. Thanks so much, really appreciate your help! Will definitely use again and highly recommend.

James Evans

Used Welwyn Roofbox Hire for the 1st time for our recent family holiday to Cornwall and had a great experience. We hired a roof box for the week and couldn’t be happier with the service. The whole process was smooth from start to finish, even when it became apparent, I had ordered the wrong fittings and it was peak season the team were fantastic to find a replacement and fit it super quick. Thank you! I would highly recommend Welwyn Roofbox hire and will definitely be using them again.

Nick Scott

Local to me which is a bonus but would travel to use these people. Knowledgeable, friendly, patient with top notch customer service. Does what it says on the tin for a transparent and upfront price using only the best quality equipment. Valuable pre-use run through. Said my deposit return might take upto 3 days but was actually 20 minutes. Will happily use again and recommend as circumstances require.

Roger Newbold

View hire prices, inclusions and deposit details →

Will the equipment suit my car?

We use your car details and carrying requirements to recommend compatible equipment. The luggage allowance depends on your vehicle, roofbars and roofbox, including the equipment’s own weight. At fitting, we measure your car’s overall height with the equipment fitted and explain how to use it.

Read our guide to choosing the right roofbox →

Should I hire or buy?

Hiring gives you extra carrying space for a trip without buying and storing the equipment. If you expect to use it frequently and have room to keep it, buying may suit you better. We also sell new, as-new and used equipment, subject to availability.
