If you're planning on going on a road trip and renting a car, you may be wondering if you can put a car top carrier on the rental car. The answer is yes, in most cases you can put a car top carrier on a rental car. However, there are a few things to keep in mind before doing so.
First, check with the rental car company to see if they have any restrictions on putting a car top carrier on their vehicles. Some companies may not allow it or may charge an additional fee for doing so.
Once you've confirmed that the rental company allows it, make sure that the roof of the vehicle can accommodate the weight and size of the carrier. Most carriers weigh between 20-30 pounds empty, so keep that in mind when loading it up.
Finally, be sure to secure the carrier properly to avoid damaging the roof of the vehicle or causing any accidents while driving. Follow all instructions from both the rental company and the manufacturer of your particular carrier.
