About products and suppliers

When your vehicle has limited storage space or a small trunk, a roof box can offer much-needed space for your luggage, supplies, and other items. A roof box for cars is a box-like structure that’s attached to the roof of your vehicle. Cargo roof boxes vary in size to accommodate different vehicles and needs. For example, a Yakima roof box or a Thule roof box is usually long, slender, and designed to carry sports gear including paddle boards, canoes, and skis. Other roof boxes are smaller, square-shaped, and used primarily for luggage, bags, sleeping bags, and other camping gear.

How to Choose the Best Roof Box for Your Vehicle

When it comes to choosing a roof box, size matters. A Volvo roof box won’t fit securely on some other car models. There are also Inno roof boxes for sedans, SUVs, and even trucks. Before you make a purchase, measure your vehicle’s roof and then compare these measurements to Thule roof box sizes and other brands. Also, check to see if the roof box comes with straps or clips and how it secures to your vehicle. It’s important to ensure the car roof box you purchase fits securely on top of your vehicle so you don’t create a safety hazard on the road.

Are Cargo Roof Boxes Permanent?

No. Car roof boxes are not intended to stay on your vehicle at all times. Not only are they bulky and cumbersome, but they can affect your vehicle’s fuel efficiency. In some cases, the roof box for your car may also incur damage if left on too long. This is especially true if you travel long distances or drive frequently. It’s best to remove your car roof box when you’re done using it or have reached your destination. Most roof boxes secure to the roof rails of your vehicle. If your car doesn’t have rails, you can purchase and use special roof bars.
