Q: Will this roof box fit on any make or model of car?
A: It fits most vehicles, but your car must be equipped with a set of installed roof bars (running side-to-side across the roof) to clamp the box down securely.
Q: Are the roof bars included with this roof box rental?
A: No, this rental is for the 470-liter roof box capsule shell only. Roof bars tailored to your specific vehicle model must be sourced separately.
Q: Does the roof box lock, and are keys provided?
A: Yes, it features a secure multi-point central locking system, and you will receive a set of keys with your rental.
Q: Can the roof box be opened from both sides of the vehicle?
A: This premium model features dual-side opening hinges, allowing you to load and unload gear safely from either the driver or passenger sidewalk side.
Q: What is the maximum load weight capacity for the box?
A: The box itself can hold up to 75kg, but you must always verify your specific car roof's maximum load limit in your vehicle handbook.
Q: How does it affect my driving speed or car height clearance?
A: It adds roughly 40-45cm to your vehicle’s total height. Be highly cautious of low-clearance multi-story car parks and drive-throughs. Keep speeds within motorway legal limits.
Q: Is the roof box completely waterproof in heavy rain?
A: It is constructed from aerodynamic, weather-sealed ABS plastic that keeps rain out, but we always advise packing sensitive textiles inside plastic bags just in case.
Q: Do your staff help install the roof box onto my car upon collection?
A: Yes, if you pick up from our main depot with your roof bars pre-fitted, our team will gladly assist you with the safe mounting and locking mechanism setup.
Q: What kinds of gear can I fit inside a 470L roof box?
A: Its elongated length makes it excellent for 4-5 large duffel bags, camping tents, sleeping bags, strollers, or up to 5-6 sets of skis/snowboards.
Q: How should I prepare the roof box for return?
A: Remove all personal belongings, vacuum out any loose sand, dirt, or leaves from the interior base shell, and ensure both keys are handed back.
