When do you need a trailer instead of (or with) a roofbox?
🏕️ Family Camping Adventures
When your roofbox is full but you still need space for bulky camping gear like tents, chairs, coolboxes, and outdoor equipment. A trailer gives you an extra 300kg+ capacity - that's like adding another large estate car boot!
🏠 Moving & Collection Jobs
Furniture from the shops, appliances, garden waste to the tip, or small house moves. Things that are too big, heavy, or messy for a roofbox but don't warrant hiring a van.
🎪 Festival & Events
Festivals, car boot sales, outdoor events - when you need to transport lots of bulky items that won't fit efficiently in a roofbox, or when loading/unloading from ground level is much easier.
⚖️ Weight vs Volume
Roofboxes are limited to 75kg - great for clothes and light items. Trailers handle 300kg+, perfect for heavy camping gear, tools, or dense items that would exceed roofbox weight limits.
💡 Pro Tip: The Ultimate Setup
Many of our customers use both together - roofbox for clothes and valuables (lockable and weatherproof), trailer for bulky camping gear. Maximum capacity with smart organisation!
Why hire a trailer instead of buying?
The hidden costs of trailer ownership
Total Cost of Ownership Breakdown:
- Small Trailer Purchase (new): £650+
- Towbar Fitting (if needed): £400-800
- Insurance & Registration: £250/year
- Secure Storage Space: £300+/year
Total Initial Investment: £1,600+
Storage headaches
Unlike roofboxes, trailers can't be stored in most garages or sheds. You'll need:
- Dedicated outdoor space - exposed to weather and UV damage
- Security measures - trailers are theft targets when left outside
- Commercial storage - costs £25+ per month in many areas
- Access and maneuvering space - difficult in typical driveways
Hire vs Buy: The Numbers
Annual Usage Analysis:
- 1-2 trips per year: Hiring costs £25-60 vs £1,600+ ownership
- 3-5 trips per year: Hiring costs £75-150 vs £1,600+ ownership
- 6+ trips per year: Consider purchase, but factor in storage and depreciation
Break-even point: You'd need to use a purchased trailer 25+ times before seeing cost benefits, and that's without considering storage costs, depreciation, maintenance, or insurance.
Why choose trailer hire instead?
💰 Cost-Effective Solution
At just £25-130 per hire, you avoid the £1,600+ ownership investment. For occasional use, hiring saves thousands and eliminates ongoing costs.
