Car Rental with roof racks Perth

Hi Guys,

Hope someone can help, do you know anyone who rents cars with roof racks

I done a bit of searching and ringing with no luck.....

thanks

If you have a lot of gear and assuming it's in bags you are probably better off throwing a soft towel straight onto the roof and then tie the gear on top.

Most of the soft racks don't go across the entire with of the car resulting in the entire load being concentrated onto a small area. Most rental cars are cheap and their roofs buckle like a coke can. Never mind that most smaller cars these days have curved roofs. That said quite a number of cars like the Toyota Corolla allow you to fold portions of the back seats. That way you can at least throw your sails / masts/ boom inside the car.

This style of soft racks is a bit better when it comes to load distribution but still not ideal: harplaneptyltd.businesscatalyst.com/roofrack-systems/watersports-racks/solution-traveller-soft-racks

Depending on how many people are travelling with you maybe look into getting either a station wagon or a van. If you look around the net via sites like Kayak you can often find deals with Thrifty / Budget / Europcar that are significantly cheaper than booking directly. Avis also sometimes has a good price on their station wagons when there is an oversupply at a certain location.

my boy has a subi forester with racks in a storage shed in Perth. He's away at the mines now. Can ask him maybe. Call me sometime.
