Been looking for one of these on eBay and prices seem to go over £85 - 90 for a used one with no warranty, so I thought that £99 including delivery for new was a good deal.
Also got £4.95 cashback through tracked 1 hour later through Quidco making it just £94.05.
Was also Topcashback at a possible 7%
Easy to use, easy to install and easy on your bike and your vehicle.
Constructed from heavy–duty, 100% recyclable plastic, the Saris Bones Bike Carrier is the strongest and most environmentally–friendly rack on the market.
Injection–molded arms and legs will never rust, and can support up to three bikes with ease, separating them on different levels so they won’t rub or touch during transport.
With ratchet straps that keep your bike secure to the rack arms, exclusive anti–sways and articulated rubber feet to protect the finish on your vehicle, Bones ensures that nothing gets damaged in transport.
The vinyl–coated hooks strap securely to the car with spring–buckles, which makes installing the Bones Bike Carrier quick and easy.
The arched design fits practically any vehicle, from sedans to mini–vans, even most cars with a spoiler. And because it’s a trunk–mounted rack, your bikes are accessible and easy to put in place. No overhead lifting, twisting, balancing or hefting required, so you can save your energy for the ride.
Injection-molded arms and legs - the strongest on the market.
Built with 100% recyclable, non-rusting materials.
Ratcheting anti-sway straps secure and stabilize bikes.
Arc–based design fits over most spoilers, and separates bikes on different levels.

Got mine 2nd hand for £80. Best one I've ever had. I use it on an estate and have always been confident it wasn't going to fall off/drop the bikes.

missus has a clio and only a stupid plastic trim to hook onto at top. Doubt these would work any better than the one we have . Good price tho !

I purchased without needing to buy the card. Just added the item to the basket and it went through. After reading terms and conditions I think the card is only to get the discount off when instore not for online use..

Hi- I could do with some help pls- I've seen cheaper (non-bones type) carriers, why is this one better? Will this hide my number plate so will I need a lighting board too? Anyone have a picture of what this looks like in situ loaded with bikes?
Thanks
As an update just received the bike rack this morning. Very quick delivery only ordered yesterday afternoon. Didn't need the discount card to get the advertised price. Excellent service well recommended.

Thanks- watch videos so understand how it fits on car- looks like will need light board as will hide number plate. Also, have read reviews of other carriers- some horror stories of them failing. Looks like this one is of good quality so less likely to fail.

I use mine for all sorts of bikes: MTB, Hybrid, BMX. The only problems I've heard of are if you've a full suspension bike.
The two "legs" which hold the bike up are fully adjustable, both in terms of what angle you put them up at (how high up in the air you want the bikes to be), and also how far apart they are (so bikes with different size top tubes can fit on).
On my estate car I use an extra registration plate, but never had problems with obscuring the lights too much. I do tend to take the front wheels off any full size bike I've got on there though.
