We review car roof boxes to help you find the best storage solution for your car. Our buying guide tells you all you need to know when choosing a car roof box. We also measured noise in the car and compared it to the noise levels in a car without a roof box, but there was no difference.

Our review will tell you which car roof boxes are:

  • easiest to fit to your roof bars
  • easiest to load and unload
  • easiest to lock and unlock/open.

Use our interactive comparison tool to find the model with the right features and specifications to suit your needs. Our Recommended list will help you see at a glance which models come out on top.

I've worked for CHOICE for roughly 20 years, from customer service to testing and content production and now to Director of Reviews and Testing, which conducts all the testing content for CHOICE. My background in IT started my path in testing for CHOICE Computer, but CHOICE has a strong call for me because of two core elements - it's a for-purpose business that is mission driven. That mission attracts a range of passionate people, including our staff and members alike, dedicated to making Australia more fair, safe and just for Australian consumers.  My educational background is in Ethics and I currently sit as a council member on the Standards Australia Council, representing CHOICE. I'm also one of the people that add up the energy and carbon credits to make sure we stay carbon neutral. You can find me on LinkedIn.
