Halfords 250L
Halford’s 250-litre roof box is inexpensive, yet still offers the key features buyers demand. The grey finish is less appealing than the more common black of other boxes, but it has a usefully tall body to help squeeze in larger items up to the maximum weight limit of 50kg.
Thule Ocean 80 (320L)
If you have a small car and want a roof box that takes up a minimum of space then the Thule Ocean 80 with a 320-litre loading capacity might be just the one for you. Max load is 50kg.

Halfords 320L grey roof box
The Halfords 320L roof box features scratch-resistant ABS and UV protected material so it's strong and protected from cracking or becoming brittle. Perfectly sized for a small family, the spring lid stays open on its own with a single side opening and basic U-bolt mounting system. The roof box fits Square or Aero Roof Bars and dimensions are 140.2cm x 90.9cm x 35cm.
Junior 420L roof box
This is a slick and expensive-looking roof box from Italian brand Junior, yet it only costs £180. This 420-litre roof box is made from UV protected Polystyrene and comes in two easy to assemble pieces. Fitment is the typical U-bolt (with a 60mm maximum) and max load is 50kg.
ArtPlast Car Trunk
The honestly-titled Car Trunk by ArtPlast certainly looks the part with a carbonfibre-effect lid, even if it the price means it is actually made from tough polypropylene instead. There's 320 litres of space available inside, with the popular U-bracket fitment meaning it should attach to almost any roof bar arrangement with ease. At 11kg in weight, it's easy to handle too.
