Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2007 I'm thinking about getting a roofbox for the car for a trip away in the summer. Thing is, I'd probably only use it once (or maybe twice) a year and they're not cheap. So is it feasible to hire one? Do companies hire them out? As an alternative, what does it cost to get a tow bar fitted? And hire a trailer? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Super_Steve_Howey 0 Report post Posted April 26, 2007 Don't get a towbar, it only means you have to interact with some of the worst people on the planet - mechanics A friend of mine needed a holiday just to get over the trauma of getting a towbar fitted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
