Why choose a car roof bag?

Car with roof bag in countryside

Easy to install on any car roof

Whatever car you drive, whether you have a roof rack or not, there are roof bags to choose from that can quickly and easily be fitted to your car.

Light, portable and easy to store

A soft roof bag can usually be folded down after your journey, making it much easier to store than a large rigid box.

Waterproof and weather-resistant

Car roof bags use protective materials, covered zips and reinforced seams to help shield luggage from changing weather.

Less expensive than a roof box

A roof bag can provide useful extra luggage space without the higher cost and permanent storage needs of a rigid roof box.

Quick and easy to fit

“We don’t have a roof rack, so I was worried the roof bag wouldn’t fit on our car, but it was no problem, super quick and easy to install.”

Easy to store afterwards

“We used to have a roof box, but it was becoming difficult to store when we weren’t using it.. the roof bag is just as good and takes up no space at all.”

Frequently asked questions about car roof bags

What is a car roof bag?

A roof bag is a flexible luggage carrier fitted on top of a vehicle. They are usually used to store luggage, sports equipment and other items that need to be transported safely. Unlike a hard roof box, roof bags have soft sides and can be folded down and easily stored when not in use.

Do you need roof bars for a car roof bag?

No, roof bags can be fitted on cars with or without a roof rack. They come with reinforced straps and door hooks to enable easy and safe fitting.

Are car roof bags waterproof?

Roof bags are usually waterproof, but the level of weather protection varies between products, so you should check the specification of the product before buying.

What is the difference between a roof rack bag and a roof box?

A roof rack bag is soft-sided, easy to fit, and can be folded away when not in use. A roof box has a heavier rigid shell, is harder to fit and takes up more room when removed from the car.
