car rack

Vehicle cargo mount

A car rack is a frame or carrier mounted on a vehicle's roof, trunk, or hitch to transport items that won't fit inside—bicycles, skis, kayaks, cargo boxes, or luggage.

We strapped the bikes to the car rack and headed for the trail.

Also called a roof rack when mounted on top of the vehicle.
