    Any advice please on best carrier for 2 bikes on a Toyota Yaris Verso? I'd prefer the bikes on the back of the car rather than on the roof for ease of use.
    Thanks in anticipation

    Hiya
    Do yo have a tow? Is your car new(ish)? If you car has a tow - IMO tow carriers are the best - if not they can (in addition to the Tow) cost a lot. If your looking for a cheap option and not overly concerned about getting some marks on your car any cheap rear door mounting should suffice... I got mine in Aldi and it's grand..mind you my bike is worth more than my car...:D

    I looked at that Aldi option - among the few cars that it said it wouldn't suit was, guess what - Toyota Yaris Verso!. i think it's to do with the way the rear door opens - from one side - and the hinges may not be strong enough to take the weight. I'll check out the towbar route - scratches on my car would not even be noticed!
    Thanks for your advice
