Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need roof crossbars to rent a cargo box?
Yes. Our boxes attach to roof crossbars (also called roof racks). If your vehicle doesn’t have them, we’ve got you covered with free rack rental and setup on select vehicles.• Audi Q5 (2018–2025)
• Audi Q7 (2020–2025)
• Toyota RAV4 (2019–2025)
• Some vehicles with flush roof rails (contact us to check compatibility)Your car not listed? No problem. Most vehicles can still work with the right racks. Message us and we’ll confirm before you book.
Do you deliver to my area?
For a limited time, we're offering FREE delivery anywhere in Orange County. If you're outside the OC, a delivery fee may apply. You'll enter your ZIP code on the reservation form, and we’ll confirm everything when we follow up.
What if it doesn’t fit my vehicle?
We confirm compatibility before every booking. If it doesn't fit, you don’t pay — zero risk.
Why is this so much cheaper than REI or other rental shops?
We keep overhead low and pass the savings to you. No retail markup, no hidden fees — just premium gear, local delivery, and easy installs.
Why should I rent instead of buy?
Buying a cargo box and crossbars costs $1,000+, and you need to store and install them. With Roof Rax, you only pay when you need.
How does payment work?
You’ll pay by credit card when we deliver and install your gear — no upfront payment required. A fully refundable $300 security deposit is included to protect the equipment and is returned once everything is picked up in good condition. Quick, secure, and hassle-free.
What if I damage the gear?
Life happens. That’s why we offer an optional damage waiver for a small fee — so you're covered and stress-free.
Can I add a YETI cooler to my rental?
Yes — for a limited time, we’ll include a YETI Tundra 45 cooler rental FREE with every booking ($49 value). It’s delivered clean and empty, ready for you to pack with your own ice and drinks.
Can I buy the setup if I love it?
Yes! If you're interested in purchasing the gear after your trip, just let us know.
Daniel, Founder of Roof Rax
I built the service I wish existed.
Roof Rax started with a simple frustration. I was planning a camping trip with my wife and dogs, but with all our gear, dog supplies, and a friend joining us, I realized we were going to run out of room fast.I thought about renting a truck, but that felt excessive and expensive. A cargo box seemed like the right solution until I realized how confusing it was to choose one. Do I need roof racks? What size fits my vehicle? The clock was ticking, and the process felt stressful and unclear.That’s why I founded Roof Rax — to build the service I wished existed. One that’s simple, premium, and personal.With Roof Rax, you can book online in minutes and I personally deliver and install every cargo box myself. No guessing. No hassle. Just the easiest way to add more space for your adventure.
