How Much Does It Cost to Hire a Roof Box?
Roof box hire prices explained
The cost of hiring a roof box depends on the size of the box and whether additional equipment such as roof bars is required. Hiring is generally a cost effective option compared to buying a full setup, especially if you only need the equipment for a short period.
At Midlands Roof Box Hire, we keep pricing simple and transparent so you know exactly what to expect.
Current roof box hire prices
Our standard pricing (correct as of May 2026) is:
- Large roof box (approx. 470 litres): £79
- Extra large roof box (approx. 580 litres): £89
- Roof bar hire: £50
These prices include professional fitting and removal, so everything is installed for you and ready to use.
What is included in the price?
When you hire a roof box, you are not just paying for the equipment itself. A typical hire includes:
- A high quality roof box from our Roof Boxes range
- Vehicle specific roof bars if required
- Professional installation and removal
- Guidance on safe use and loading
This makes the process straightforward and removes the need to purchase or install equipment yourself.
Do I need to hire roof bars as well?
Some vehicles already have compatible roof bars fitted, while others will require them as part of the hire. If needed, our Roof Rack Hire option ensures your vehicle is correctly prepared for the roof box.

Is hiring cheaper than buying?
For most drivers, hiring is significantly more affordable than buying a roof box and roof bars. Purchasing a full setup can cost several hundred pounds, whereas hiring provides the same benefit for a fraction of the cost.
