Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I'm thinking about getting a roofbox for the car for a trip away in the summer. Thing is, I'd probably only use it once (or maybe twice) a year and they're not cheap. So is it feasible to hire one? Do companies hire them out? As an alternative, what does it cost to get a tow bar fitted? And hire a trailer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fop 1 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 As an alternative, what does it cost to get a tow bar fitted? And hire a trailer? Well I could give you and idea on that, but acting on advice from counsel I'd better not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super_Steve_Howey 0 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Don't get a towbar, it only means you have to interact with some of the worst people on the planet - mechanics A friend of mine needed a holiday just to get over the trauma of getting a towbar fitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 Try again Seem canny expensive to hire mind or try here The first one is in Berkshire so that's a no-no, the second one is in Chester-le-Street so I'll look into that.
