When it comes to roof boxes, not all are created equal. Families want space, durability, and peace of mind on the road — and the Thule 470-litre roof box delivers all three.
At South Staffordshire Roof Box Hire, every box we hire is a genuine Thule model, chosen for its reliability, sleek design, and suitability for UK travel. Whether you’re heading on a family holiday, a weekend escape, or an outdoor adventure, the Thule 470L roof box gives you space, security, and style.
Let’s explore why this model is the most popular choice among our customers across Staffordshire and the West Midlands.
1. The Ideal Size for Families
The Thule 470-litre roof box hits the perfect balance between capacity and practicality. It’s large enough to store up to five medium suitcases, camping equipment, or winter clothing, yet compact enough to maintain good aerodynamics and fuel efficiency.
At just over 1.8 metres in length, it suits most family cars, SUVs, and estates — offering a neat, professional look without overhang or awkward fitting.
Families with children, dogs, or bulky luggage find this size ideal. It adds essential extra room without feeling excessive.
2. Built by Thule – Trusted Worldwide
Thule is known across the world for its exceptional build quality and attention to detail. Every roof box is tested to extreme conditions — from high-speed wind tunnels to freezing weather and heavy rain.
That means every journey you take with one of our boxes comes with the assurance of world-class safety and performance.
The dual-opening feature makes loading and unloading simple, even in tight spaces. Locks are sturdy, user-friendly, and fully weather-sealed for year-round reliability.
3. Sleek Design, Built for UK Roads
The Thule 470L’s aerodynamic shape reduces drag and wind noise, even on motorways. It’s finished in gloss black, giving any vehicle a stylish upgrade while providing tough, weather-resistant protection for your belongings.
Whether you’re driving to Devon, North Wales, or the Lake District, this box handles everything the UK climate can throw at it — from frost and salt spray to heavy rain.
4. Perfect for All Seasons
One of the biggest benefits of hiring this box is versatility. It’s ideal not only for summer holidays but also for winter breaks, Christmas visits, and Easter getaways.
You can pack sports gear, family luggage, or even shopping — freeing up boot space for pets, strollers, or other essentials.
Because the box is fully waterproof and lockable, your belongings stay dry, secure, and protected whatever the weather.
5. Safe, Secure, and Professionally Fitted
Every hire from South Staffordshire Roof Box Hire includes professional fitting by our experienced team. You won’t have to worry about installing it yourself or figuring out how to secure it properly.
We ensure every box is safely mounted, aligned, and tested before you drive away. The dual-locking system keeps your belongings safe from theft, while strong clamps ensure stability on even the longest drives.
When you return the box, we handle the cleaning, inspection, and maintenance — so it’s ready for the next customer in perfect condition.
6. Why Hire Instead of Buy?
A quality Thule roof box can cost around £600 to £800 new — plus roof bars. For many families, that’s a big outlay for something used just once or twice a year.
Hiring gives you all the same benefits for a fraction of the cost:
- £85 for one week
- £125 for two weeks
You get premium quality without the storage or maintenance hassle. Once your trip’s over, simply return it — easy, affordable, and convenient.
7. Ideal for Families with Dogs or Young Children
Travelling with children or pets? A roof box is a game-changer. Parents can pack safely and neatly, keeping essentials within reach inside the car while storing bulky luggage above.
That extra space keeps your car clutter-free and your journey comfortable. Dogs can travel in comfort too, with space for their bed and gear in the boot.
8. A Local Business You Can Trust
