Does Roof Box Hire Include Fitting?
Is fitting included when you hire a roof box?
Yes, most roof box hire services include professional fitting as part of the hire. This means the roof bars and roof box are installed for you, ensuring everything is secure and ready for your journey.
At Midlands Roof Box Hire, every booking includes full installation and removal. This removes the need to fit the equipment yourself and ensures everything is set up correctly from the start.
What does the fitting service include?
A typical roof box hire package includes all the essential components needed for safe use. This usually covers:
- The roof box itself from our Roof Boxes range
- Vehicle specific roof bars and fittings
- Full installation and removal at the end of the hire
- A safety check to ensure everything is secure
This type of service is often referred to as a fully fitted package, where everything is handled for you from start to finish.
How long does fitting take?
Fitting a roof box is a quick process when carried out by experienced installers. In most cases, installation takes between 30 and 40 minutes, depending on the vehicle and setup.
During this time, we install the roof bars, secure the roof box, and make sure everything is aligned correctly. We also confirm the overall height of your vehicle once the roof box is fitted.
Why is professional fitting important?
Correct installation is essential for safety. A properly fitted roof box will remain secure during your journey and reduce the risk of movement or damage.
Professional fitting also ensures that the correct roof bar system is used for your specific vehicle. If you want to understand how the systems work, How Do Roof Boxes Attach To Cars? explains the process in more detail.
What happens during the handover?
Once the roof box is installed, we take a few minutes to show you how everything works. This includes:
- How to open and close the roof box
- How the locking system works
- How to load items safely
- What to check during your journey
This ensures you leave fully confident in using the equipment.
Are all vehicles suitable for fitting?
