We review car roof boxes to help you find the best storage solution for your car. Our buying guide tells you all you need to know when choosing a car roof box. We also measured noise in the car and compared it to the noise levels in a car without a roof box, but there was no difference.

Our review will tell you which car roof boxes are:

  • easiest to fit to your roof bars
  • easiest to load and unload
  • easiest to lock and unlock/open.

Use our interactive comparison tool to find the model with the right features and specifications to suit your needs. Our Recommended list will help you see at a glance which models come out on top.
