Roof carrier or bigger vehicle? How to decide before you book

When a lockable roof carrier solves your luggage problem, and when you genuinely need to move up a class.

Most groups over-book their vehicle because of luggage, not passengers. A roof carrier adds roughly two large soft bags of capacity at no extra cost on our sedans, MPVs and SUVs - which is often cheaper than moving from an Ertiga to an Innova. The carrier is not the answer when bags are rigid, when the trip is over 400 km at highway speed, or during heavy monsoon on ghat roads. In those cases the extra per-kilometre cost of a larger vehicle buys you a dry, secure boot and a calmer drive.
