Rear Mounted Bike Racks at Halfords
Rear mounted bike carriers are an essential piece of kit for transporting bikes safely and efficiently. Known for being the cheapest way to transport your bike, they are ideal for occasional use and are vehicle specific when it comes to fitting. Certain body shapes, spoilers and split boots can affect whether or not your vehicle is suitable, so it's worth checking before-hand.

Rear Mounted Bike Racks FAQs
Are bike racks legal?
Yes, they are legal as long as you use them correctly. Your number plate and rear lights must still be visible once the rack is on. If they are blocked, you just need an extra lighting board to stay road legal.
Are bike racks easy to install?
Most modern racks are designed to be simple to set up. Rear mounted ones can usually be fitted in about 20 minutes with clear instructions included. You can explore fitting options and expert help from Halfords if you need an extra hand.
Are bike racks universal?
Not really, as cars come in different shapes and sizes. Some racks are adjustable and work with many vehicles, but it is always worth checking before you buy. A quick look at your car’s specs or the product details will help you find the right one.
