Small roof boxes
Short Wide roof boxes
Medium Long Medium Wide roof boxes
These boxes are really designed as luggage overflows; they'll usually be too small for full family use. They're all narrow enough to allow the use of at least one bike carrier next to the box.
Good family load carriers unless you want to carry other things on the roof as well, or longer objects.
An increasingly popular box shape, an evolution in box design to reflect the reduced length of modern skis as well as to leave some space on the roof bars for other items. In spite of their different capacities we can get the same amount of standard luggage into each of these boxes, demonstrating that it's length, width, and low profile box to bar fittings which make the most difference to actual usefulness. Box height is the least important measurement unless you have something specific to carry. On this subject, if you find that you can't get your children's buggy into the roof box, usually because it's too wide and deep, we suggest that you put the buggy in the boot and the contents of the boot into the roof box.
Long Thin roof boxes
Long Thin boxes tend to be too narrow for general family use - Long Medium Wide boxes have a lot more capacity - but if you want to carry e.g. a box and three bikes on the roof (or a box and two bikes without having to cram everything on) then they're just what you need. All these boxes open from the off side except for the 'either side' KAMEI 300.
Long Medium Wide roof boxes
Our most 'family flexible' boxes - combining all the size you should need (!) with the flexibility of carrying other things on the roof as well - canoe, kayak, bikes, a windsurfer etc. (What you can carry depends on the length of the roof bars.) These boxes can usually be carried by one person, making them much easier to fit, and store, than Long Wide boxes. If you are in doubt about which type of box to buy, and are a relatively active and sporty family of four or five, it's usually best to look particularly at either these Long Wide boxes, or at one of the "Use 2 boxes" combinations shown below.
Long Wide roof boxes
This is the "I want the biggest" department. Be warned that these boxes need 2 people to lift them, unless you are an experienced and strong box lifter. Also bear in mind that you'll get more capacity and more flexibility if you use 2 boxes - see below.
For maximum capacity and flexibility, use 2 roof boxes!
Two downsides of Long Wide boxes: (1) they're awkward to move about and store, and (2) they provide no flexibility for carrying other items unless your vehicle is unusually wide - which is why Long Medium Wide boxes are so popular. But what's to stop you using 2 boxes: One for wet, one for dry? One for skis and boots, one for the rest? One for His, one for Hers? When you need to carry e.g. bikes or a windsurfer, just use one box. Please be sure not to exceed your maximum permitted roof load.
Thule makes a rear mounting box for attaching to a rear fitting bike carrier. It's an expensive option but it suits those who are particularly concerned about fuel economy and therefore don't want anything on the roof. Please note that if you have bikes and gear to carry, it makes much better sense to carry the bikes on the back and the luggage on the roof, especially if you already have the rear fitting carrier!

Farad 320 - 320 litres, 140 x 75 x 40cm
£119.95

Plastic prices rise in line with oil prices, and it's no longer possible
to find decent quality boxes for less than £100. We've had so many
quality problems with very cheap boxes in recent seasons that the
Farad 320 is now our cheapest box, but don't confuse cheap pricing
with poor quality where Farad is concerned! This dual side opening,
central locking box is a smaller version of the No. 2 box in last year's Auto Express roof boxes test. It's made from the same good quality UV protected styrene, and includes Farad's patented telescopic lid struts. We're impressed. If you need roof bars as well, and there are Fapa bars available for your vehicle, we'll do the whole package for only £140! Click here for details.
THULE Ranger 90 fabric roof box
Thule Ranger 90 - 340 litres, 110 x 80 x 40cm
£134.95

Thule's fabric 340 litre Ranger 6011 "roof bag" is designed for people without home storage space. If you live in a flat without a garage or shed, or lack a helpful friend with a garage or shed, then for sure it's a good idea. On the downside there are still doubts about the security aspect - a problem with all fabric roof bags - as well as the longevity of the zip which is likely to be under great tension, if our own roof box experiences are anything to go by! Opening and shutting is also a slow business compared to a traditional box. The Ranger fits roof bars up to 82mm wide and 35 mm deep (i.e. all the Thule/Atera/Fapa bars we supply), and comes with a storage bag; roll it up when it's not in use.
AUTOFORM Explorer 340 roof box
Autoform Explorer 340 - 340 litres, 150 x 82 x 34cm
from £194.85

>>
Autoform Explorer 340 XR black
>> Autoform Explorer 340 XR silver
>> Autoform Explorer 340 metallic black
>> Autoform Explorer 340 metallic silver


The Explorer series has proved very popular with dealers and customers alike. The 340s are styled to follow the contours of the average small to medium car, and include a recess to bring them slightly closer to the bars than normal. Long enough to hold three average sized golf bags, for example. Autoform call it the Nova series.
KARRITE Contour 380 roof box
Kar Rite Contour 380 - 380 litres, 150 x 90 x 40cm
£128.95 but check for new Bargains!

One of our best sellers over the years. It's a really useful size, side opening from the near side, and of decent quality, being made of a composite plastic called 'Duotek' especially developed for Kar Rite. The standard Kar Rite 5 year guarantee, and 2 point central locking. We look around the European market regularly and are still confident that this is much the best value box of this size below £130 - although you only need to pay £10 more to get a dual side opening Farad 400, see below, which is now better overall value.
FARAD 400 roof box
Farad 400 - 400 litres, 125 x 100 x 40cm
from £138.95

>> Farad 400 grey - £138.95
>> Farad 400 metallic black - £158.95
>> Farad 400 metallic silver - £158.95


Dual side opening" is where a box opens either from the left side or from the right side. This feature really comes into its own with boxes wider than about 80cm, i.e. where it's awkward to stretch across to the hinge side of the box, especially if you are of modest height and/or the box is being used on a tall car. As well as making for easier loading and unloading, the business of fitting the box to the bars is also quicker and easier - you'll work first on one side of the box, then on the other, then position the box just where you want it, then tighten the fittings.

This 400 litre dual side opening, central locking box has the same features as the Farad 450, the Runner Up in last year's Auto Express roof boxes test. Farad's patented telescopic lid struts not only hold open the lid unusually wide, but you can shut the lid in a controlled fashion rather than having to put up with the 'wobble then collapse' that is characteristic of all other spring assisted struts. Everything about these boxes works very smoothly. They're available in 3 colours.

KAMEI Delphin 375 roof box
KAMEI Delphin 375 - 375 litres, 140 x 99 x 42cm
£174.95

We've always liked the Delphins. No frills, but they are made from top quality components, have by far the strongest locking system on the market, seem to last for ever, never go wrong, and keep looking good when other more obviously stylish boxes look a bit weird 3 years up the line. Winner of the Auto Express "Best Buy" award 2006.
KAMEI 400 roof box
KAMEI 400 - 400 litres, 158 x 93 x 41cm
£194.95

Superb build quality and functionality, with the option of being mounted for opening either on the nearside or the offside. The lid is an optimum shape for load carrying - it's amazing how much gear you can stuff into this box! It has the same specifications as the Delphin series (see above), apart from shape and size. Stock permitting it may also be available as a package deal - whichever Atera or Thule bars you need for your vehicle, a KAMEI 400, and a box hoist / straps, all for a fixed price!
KAMEI Sahara roof box
KAMEI Sahara - 340 litres, 158 x 93 x 35cm
from £224.95

>>
KAMEI Sahara silver
>> KAMEI Sahara 'titanium metallic'

A very good looking box, introduced in 2005. It was developed with the 4 x 4 market in mind - note how the lid reinforcing ribs complement the engine protection plate on this Touareg. Available either in matt silver or in "titanium metallic". Includes KAMEI's "Click to lock" central locking system - all the virtues of central locking but none of the hassles.
KAMEI Delphin 340K roof box
KAMEI Delphin 340K - 340 litres, 190 x 75 x 40cm
£174.95

>> KAMEI Delphin 340K right hand opening
>> KAMEI Delphin 340K LEFT hand opening

We've always liked KAMEI's Delphin range. No frills, but they have the strongest locking system on the market, seem to last for ever, never go wrong, win product tests, and keep looking good when other more obviously stylish boxes look a bit weird 3 years up the line. When we did mail order roof box hire they were the only boxes which could stand the punishment. This is the first of a new series of Delphins, incorporating the same key features - the locking system, the sliding fittings front and back, gas struts, DUROKAM plastic - but with new styling, and an aerofoil base. Available in right or left hand opening. They'll carry carving skis up to 180cm.
FARAD 450 roof box
Autoform Explorer 380 - 380 litres, 180 x 80 x 34cm
from £194.95

>> Autoform Explorer 380 black
>> Autoform Explorer 380 silver
>> Autoform Explorer 380 metallic black
>> Autoform Explorer 380 metallic silver

This box is a smart new addition to the Explorer range, available in 4 colour options - black, metallic black, silver, metallic silver. The Explorer family of boxes (Autoform call this range "Nova") is styled to blend in with the contours of the average car, its low profile enhanced by settling it slightly closer to the roof than normal. Includes a clever single-handed box to bars quick fitting system.
THULE Atlantis 200 roofbox
Thule Atlantis 200 - 440 litres, 175 x 82 x 45cm
£219.95 but check for new Bargains!

The Atlantis range was new in 2005 and is, to our minds, where the Thule brand should sit, i.e. mid market and upwards, i.e. well engineered and well made; we won't be stocking their budget "Pacific" range. The Atlantis 200 is a fully featured box - Thule are always tops for marketing enthusiasm! - but we like the looks and the overall build quality, including steel reinforcing ribs, although are uncertain about the Power-Grip fittings which take up too much space in the box. If you fit a Thule box to aluminium aerobars then we think it makes sense to change the Power-Grips for aerobar adapters. Warning! Please never try to remove a Thule box key when the box is open; you'll probably bust the mechanism. If you succeed, you've certainly bust the mechanism! This is not covered by the guarantee and will cost you a minimum of £70 to repair.
THULE Atlantis 780 roof box
Thule Atlantis 780 - 480 litres, 196 x 78 x 44cm
£244.95 but check for new Bargains!

A new box in 2005 and, to our minds, the best looking of this series as well as being the most family flexible, i.e. leaving roof bar space for other items. It's a very well engineered and well made box, also available at the Indespension stores. It looks nearer 450 litres than 480 litres, but it's much higher than most boxes.
THULE X1 roof box
Thule X1 - 450 litres, 190 x 90 x 38cm
£316.95

An unusual box designed especially for the 4 x 4 market. At 190cm long it fits neatly onto the roof space of most 4 x 4s. It's long enough for snowboards and most skis, and there should be room on the roof for a bike carrier, especially if you fit it to aerobars. There's a steel frame in the base - usually only included with Long Wide boxes - making it heavier than most, but enhancing its 'solid' looks. The usual Thule fittings, dual side opening etc. It's made of plastic but is finished in a 'stainless steel' colour, i.e. a shade of silver. If you like the style, go for it, especially if you have an SUV or 4 x 4.
AUTOFORM Explorer 380 roof boxes

from £164.85 but check for new Bargains!

>> Farad 450 grey
>> Farad 450 metallic black
>> Farad 450 metallic silver

We can't fault these boxes for usefulness,
quality and value. They look good, open
very wide, have dual side opening, and are
available in "standard roof box silver-grey"
or in metallic silver or metallic black. We
were delighted when the plain silver won
the
'Recommended' award in the
2006 Auto Express test.
Kamei Corvara 390K roof box

from £239.95

>> KAMEI Corvara 390K DuoLift silver
>> KAMEI Corvara 390K DuoLift titanium metallic
>> KAMEI Corvara 390K DuoLift black metallic


Kamei Corvara 390K Duolift (silver):
Auto Express Best Buy 2008


KAMEI's Corvara family of roof boxes includes all the hallmarks of the KAMEI brand - smart engineering, bespoke quality materials, top build quality - but also the most savvy and user-friendly fitting and locking systems that you'll find on any boxes. And now the 'DuoLift' boxes are available, dual side opening using gas struts which makes the whole opening and closing process uniquely smooth. The maximum load limit has also been increased to 75kg.

AUTOFORM Explorer 370 roof boxes
Autoform Explorer 370 - 370 litres, 225 x 60 x 34cm
from £179.95

>> Autoform Explorer 370 XR black
>> Autoform Explorer 370 silver-grey
>> Autoform Explorer 370 metallic black
>> Autoform Explorer 370 metallic silver


The Explorer family (Autoform call it Nova) is styled to blend in with the contours of the average car. The base has recesses to accommodate the roof bars and bring the box slightly closer to the car, a feature taken up by Thule in their Atlantis and Spirit boxes. Includes a clever single handed box to bars quick fitting system.
KAMEI 300 roof box
KAMEI 300 - 310 litres, 220 x 60 x 36cm
£189.95

Superb build quality and functionality, with the option of being mounted for opening either on the nearside or the offside. Many people have bought two of these boxes, one opening on either side. Not usually His and Hers, but more likely Wet and Dry for sailing, or perhaps one box for the luggage, the other for fishing gear (and fish!). Flexibility is the name of the game with these boxes. Buy 2 for £350 (i.e. £175 each) to get 620 litres and huge flexibility! Also available as a package deal - whichever Atera or Thule bars you need, and this box, all for a fixed price!
KAMEI Corvara 310 roof box
KAMEI Corvara 310 - 310 litres, 220 x 60 x 36cm
from £229.95

>> KAMEI Corvara 310 DuoLift silver
>> KAMEI Corvara 310 DuoLift titanium metallic
>> KAMEI Corvara 310 DuoLift black metallic


If you're looking for a box of the highest quality, narrow enough to leave space for e.g. canoes, kayaks, bike carriers, then the award winning Corvara 310 should be top of your shortlist, especially as it now comes in dual side opening format ("DuoLift"), giving you complete flexibility about where to position it. The single side opening version of this box won ADAC's roof boxes test in December 2006 - ADAC is Europe's largest motoring organisation. These new Corvara DuoLifts are as good as they come - check the next page for further details.

Check out the 2 box options and discounts at the bottom of this page if you want to carry 2 boxes at once.

THULE Atlantis 600 roof box
Thule Atlantis 600 - 340 litres, 190 x 63 x 41cm
£190.95

The Atlantis range was new in 2005 and, to our minds, is where the Thule brand should sit, i.e. mid market and upwards. We like the looks and overall build quality, including steel reinforcing ribs. It's a good box for those who also want to carry e.g. 2 or 3 bikes (depends on bar length, and whether aerobars are used) but don't want a bigger, full length box, e.g. because they have a hatchback.
KAMEI Delphin 460 roof box
KAMEI Delphin 460 - 460 litres, 235 x 74 x 40cm
from £219.95 but check for new Bargains!

>> KAMEI Delphin 460 silver right hand opening
>>
KAMEI Delphin 460 silver LEFT hand opening


KAMEI is the best of the German roof box brands, and their boxes are the most robustly made on the market. The whole Delphin range has sliding box to bar fittings at both the front and the back of the box, so there's never a need to drill new holes (very rarely required in reality). KAMEI makes a virtue of the push button locking system used on ths box, with additional front and rear 'click' catches so when you've stuffed your box full you can hang on the front till the catch clicks, then do the same at the back, and then push in the push button locks. Available with right hand opening or left hand opening.
KAMEI 450 roof box
KAMEI 450 - 430 litres, 220 x 80 x 36cm
£234.95

Superb build quality and functionality, with the option of being mounted for opening either on the nearside or the offside. The lid is an optimum shape for load carrying - it's amazing how much gear you can stuff into this box! It has the same specifications as the Delphin series (see above), apart from shape and size. Stock permitting it may also be available as a package deal.
AUTOFORM Explorer 430 roof box
Autoform Explorer 430 - 430 litres, 225 x 80 x 36cm
from £249.95

>> Autoform Explorer 430 XR black
>> Autoform Explorer 430 XR silver-grey
>> Autoform Explorer 430 metallic black
>> Autoform Explorer 430 metallic silver


The Explorer 430s (Autoform call them Novas) were designed to maximize load carrying (they're 80cm wide) yet still allow space for one bike carrier. The lid is styled to (1) look really good and (2) optimise the available load space, and the base has recesses to accommodate the roof bars and bring the box slightly closer to the car. The tapered nose section provides exceptional aerodynamics without reducing capacity; most of the bulk and weight you put in a box is in fact carried behind the front bar. Nice boxes.
KAMEI Corvara 475 roof box
KAMEI Corvara 475 - 475 litres, 230 x 75 x 41cm
from £269.95

>> KAMEI Corvara 475 DuoLift silver
>> KAMEI Corvara 475 DuoLift titanium metallic
>> KAMEI Corvara 475 DuoLift black metallic

KAMEI's elegant new Corvara boxes incorporate the best of their engineering innovations - U bolt grippers, sliding box to bar fittings front and back, the "Click to lock" central locking system (all the virtues of central locking but none of the hassles), an ultra low profile "push-push" quick fitting system. Lean into the box and, with minimal effort, push the spring loaded tensioning arm up and down a few times to tighten the box onto the bars. Keeping the fittings as low as possible maximises the usable space in the box. And now they have gas strut assisted dual side opening, and a 75kg loading limit.

KAMEI Topstar XL roof box
KAMEI Topstar XL - 400 litres, 220 x 80 x 36cm
£279.95

>> KAMEI Topstar XL titanium metallic
>> KAMEI Topstar XL black metallic


A very elegant box from KAMEI which just seems to sit very nicely on every car we’ve tested it with. The Topstars, Saharas and Corvaras have the same state of the art central locking system: Turn the key and the lid rises wide on its gas struts, but to close it you just pull the lid until it clicks shut - no need to hold the front and back shut while simultaneously turning the key, the downside of traditional central locking systems. The Topstars also have patented low profile box to bar fittings, and various other useful features. Available in titanium metallic (a deep silver-grey) or in metallic black. Now that the Corvaras are here we don't keep much stock of these boxes, so please give as much notice as possible. They tend to be purchased by people who have seen one, e.g. in a ski resort, and just want one, or by those who want a lower box than the Corvara.
THULE Spirit 780 roof box
Thule Spirit 780 - 380 litres, 196 x 78 x 33cm
from £359.95

>> Thule Spirit 780 matt black
>> Thule Spirit 780 silver metallic
>> Thule Spirit 780 'glossy black' metallic

These are excellent quality boxes, pleasing to the eye and very well made. The 780 boxes (780mm wide) are just on the small side to be major family luggage carriers, but they're a good overflow, and ideal for a skiing holiday (where, presumably, the bags can go in the boot, and the dog is being left at home).
FARAD 550 roof box
Farad 550 - 550 litres, 225 x 80 x 40cm
from £214.95

>> Farad 550 grey
>> Farad 550 metallic black
>> Farad 550 metallic silver


This 550 litre dual side opening, central locking box has the same features as the Farad 450, the Runner Up in last year's Auto Express roof boxes test. For those who just want a big box and are calculating volume per £1 spent, but are also prepared to factor in decent quality, it's outstanding value! Farad specialise in locking wheel nuts as well as plastic moulding, so it's no surprise that all their boxes include typical wheel nut locks and keys, for extra security. Depending on your roof bars there will probably be space for 1 bike carrier next to this box. Farad 550s are available in 3 colours.
THULE Atlantis 900 roof box
Thule Atlantis 900 - 650 litres, 235 x 90 x 46cm
£329.95

A fully featured box, good looking and very well made, including steel reinforcing ribs and dual side opening. Its size and weight makes it too large and heavy for safe single handed movement unless you're used to lifting roof boxes; mind your back!
THULE Spirit 820 roof box
Thule Spirit 820 - 480 litres, 229.5 x 82.5 x 36cm

>> Thule Spirit 820 matt black
>> Thule Spirit 820 silver metallic
>> Thule Spirit 820 'glossy black' metallic
>> Thule Spirit 820 'pepita glossy' metallic

These are excellent quality boxes, pleasing to the eye and extremely well made - the best Thule boxes we've ever seen. The dual side opening really comes into its own on these wider boxes. Their size and weight leave them too large and heavy for safe single handed movement unless you're used to lifting roof boxes, so be careful! Top quality, if expensive...

Kamei Corvara 310 - ADAC roof box test winner
SPECIAL OFFER - FREE ROOF BOX HOIST WITH EVERY ROOF BOX SOLD!
Boxes are bulky items so the ideal place to store them is above your car in the garage, or in a shed. Many people will leave the box attached to the bars, and also use the box for storage. If you don't want a box hoist we're offering an alternative useful item (of lower value).

These are our roof box product range pages, You'll see that we've arranged the boxes by shape, cheapest first.

If this is your first visit to our site, and you haven't already done so, please read our information pages. This should help to narrow the options considerably. Basically, you need to decide which shape of box to go for.

Roof Boxes at The Roof Box Company - Kamei Corvara 475

This may well be the box for people who appreciate undoubted quality and technical innovation, and want a big box which will leave enough space on Atera or Thule roof bars for e.g. a bike carrier. The Corvara 310, the Long Thin version of this box, won the prestigious ADAC roof boxes test last December.

We still have a few of the single side boxes available at Sale prices:
>> KAMEI Corvara 475 titanium metallic LEFT hand opening

These boxes have an elegance and all round sophistication that only Thule's Spirit series can match, with pricing that is both realistic and sensible; the DuoLift boxes are only marginally more expensive than the single siders. The 390K was launched at the start of this year, so it was the Long Thin version, the Corvara 310, which won ADAC's roof boxes test in December 2006. ADAC is Europe's largest motoring organisation.

This box seems bigger than its 390 litres might suggest. Its external width and height are comparable to the biggest boxes in this sector, but it's a tad shorter than some, one of the design briefs being to look just right on a VW Golf, allowing the rear hatch to be fully opened but without too much front overhang. It's also designed to carry carving skis up to 180cm long, as well as a family's summer touring gear; the consensus here is that KAMEI have got it just right. Choose between plain silver, titanium metallic (a deep gloss silver-grey, shown) or gloss black.

We still have a few of the single side boxes available:
>> KAMEI Corvara 390K right hand silver
>> KAMEI Corvara 390K right hand opening titanium metallic
>> KAMEI Corvara 390K LEFT hand opening black metallic

KAMEI Delphin 375 roof box
KAMEI Delphin 380 - 380 litres, 158 x 94 x 40cm
£179.95

>> KAMEI Delphin 380 right hand opening
>> KAMEI Delphin 380 LEFT hand opening


The KAMEI Delphin 380 is the replacement for the Delphin 375, the previous Auto Express “Best Buy” roof box.  It’s a completely new box, a new lid on a new base, with KAMEI’s superb “Comfort Sliding Fitting”, a low profile box to bars fitting system.  Which? rated the Delphin 375 as the most secure and the most waterproof roof box in their 2007 test – the new Delphin 380 is just as well made, and is available in both left hand opening format and right hand opening format.

“Quality is excellent – the plastic is easily the sturdiest in the group, and all lock catches are metal.  These are self-latching, but there isn’t a single-point release as found on the Corvara. However, this drawback is more than made up for by the ease of closing the box when loaded." Auto Express
