Saddlebag Easy Access

The Perfect Travel Solution

Save Money on Gas

Located behind the vehicle, the Car Back Carrier is fully aerodynamic, saving you big money on gas (~5 mpg over car top carriers).

Easy Access

The bag sits low and unzips 3/4 of the way around to allow you to easily grab or insert items once your trip is underway.

No Need to Unload at Each Stop

The Car Back Carrier has a handle on each side so that it can be carried by (2) people right off of the vehicle into your hotel room or other destination.

Important Notes

  • There must be 40" between the vehicle's taillights to use the Car Back Carrier.
  • Load capacity is ~100lbs. Don't exceed the load rating of your vehicle's attachment points.
  • Bag is not intended to store electronics, musical instruments, or sharp or pointed objects.

Advanced Design Features - What Makes this Bag Great!

Urethane Coated Zipper

The urenthane coated zipper is located under a hook-&-loop-close zipper flap to keep water out.

The bottom pole frame breaks down and the entire luggage carrier rolls up for storage in its own stuff sack.

Attach the Bottom Straps

Run the (2) bottom straps through the guides on the bottom of the carrier and around the tow hitch, bumper, or frame. Buckle each strap's end together and adjust the tri-glides so that no excess strap will flap in the wind.

    Customers like the quality of the vehicle cargo carrier. They say it is sturdy, impressed with the material and the way it was assembled to keep items dry. The stitching is robust, and the plastic fasteners are hefty. They appreciate the strength of the snaps on the two main straps. The quality was great, and it kept everything dry in a storm. It stayed secure through high winds, thunderstorms, and non-paved roads. The straps, buckles, seams, held firm with zero issues, and didn't sag at all.

    It works on a 15-passenger van!
    5 Stars
    It works on a 15-passenger van!
    If you have ever driven a 15-passenger van across country, you know that you have room for people, but not so much for luggage! We were driving from Ohio to Wyoming and didn't want to take any seats out of our van (which we usually do on shorter trips) because we wanted an empty bench seat in the back for someone to lie down and sleep while shift driving. The idea of pulling a trailer was unattractive when considering the price of gas, to say the least, so I started looking for options on Amazon. I assure you that this find was worth every penny!Many thanks to the others who have already added helpful ideas to a good concept that maybe isn't quite refined yet. We did build a PVC frame before loading it up. I bought 3 10-foot lengths of 1/2 inch PVC, just as other suggested, and cut them to lengths of 4x24, 4x17, and 4x38. That might sound short compared to the bag dimensions, but I tried longer to begin with and shortened them several times in order to make the zipper easier to close. (Easier -- but it still wasn't easy! The zipper is not a smoothly-operating part of this carrier at all!!) Once we had the frame made, we strapped the whole rig to the back of our van, and the carrier stayed on the van for the duration of our 5000 mile trip. We unloaded suitcases most nights, but never took off the carrier, since it was such a hassle to attach. That worked very well for us. We "locked" the zipper pulls together with a bike clip when not in use, which I'm sure did nothing more than keep honest people honest, but it gave us vague peace of mind. Quite frankly, a true thief would have been deterred more by the obnoxious zipper than by our lock. =) =)We also took a photo of our license plate and slid the piece of paper into the slot, which was a fantastic idea from others. We drove through multiple downpours, and nothing in the bag ever got wet, so that was a win for us! We did weight all the suitcases before loading them, and it came to about 125 pounds. Because we had deliberately lengthened the straps so that the carrier sat directly on the rear bumper of the van, we were not too worried about going over the weight limit. We did tighten the straps when the carrier started to sag three different times during the trip. But that was the work of about three minutes per event, and no other maintenance was needed. We ordered clips to attach the carrier to our van at the same time we ordered the carrier. But clips were already included, and we hooked it right up and sent the extra clips back. So I don't know if that is a new addition to the package or what, but it did save us $15. Our van has no roof rack, so we hooked the clips over the rear doors. The strap that is supposed to wrap around the bag did not fit over the bag once it stretched the full width of the van. So we ran the strap through the handles on the two sides and clipped it over the top of the carrier every night. That was the only time we used the handles on this thing, and it was handy because it was nice to know that it was attached to the van at six separate points (top, bumper, and sides).As others have said, we had other travelers stop us and ask about the carrier and take pictures of it. I happily recommended it to everyone!When we came home and removed the carrier, we found that it had left black marks on the white rear doors of our van, which I wasn't too happy about. However, some very soft rubbing with a Magic Eraser removed all of the marks completely. I may be inclined to buy the protective pad from Rightline Gear if we take a trip like this again, just to protect our doors. Or not. I don't know if the marks were from the carrier shifting or just the copious amounts of rain that mixed with a few muddy off roads we took that made the mess.Anyway, this was a perfect find for us, and despite a few flaws it was a five-star accessory for our trip. I feel that we got our money's worth even if we never use it again just because we didn't have to rent a trailer!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Quality cargo bag
    Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2023
    Very sturdy material. Quality product. As others have mentioned I built a frame using 3/4 inch pvc. Three 10 foot pieces is enough with minimal waste. I cut the frame so that it is about a half inch smaller in width, height and depth as described in product specifications. The elbows are also available on Amazon in a bag of 10. Cheaper than Home Depot. Make sure you flip the cover edge straight up all around before zipping lid shut.... then fold edge over zipper. Again the frame gives it shape so attaching to back of car will be easier and then we can load and unload while on the car. Using on a 2012 Mazda 5 Sport.
    Update. I attached the carrier to the rear of the car and it works flawlessly. Only issue I had was that the straps were about a foot too short to secure to roof rack so I had to use an additional strap on each side to attach to roof rails. I also used excess tie down to tie the two roof rack straps (tied them parallel to roof crossbars) to prevent straps from sliding down to the side of the car. Took on a loaded test run and worked flawlessly.
    Others have complained straps did not hold. If you don't have experience with strapping down items I would suggest getting help from others. I put it up by myself thanks to pvc frame. I used a step stool to support it while I put on first tie that wraps around the carrier just above license plate and through hatchback. The corners of the pvc frame sit on bumper for extra support.
    Holds a ton of stuff! I have 2 boogie boards, a beach dome tent, beach umbrella, six beach chairs, large blanket, and small tote of beach toys in this carrier. Easy load and unload. Picture shown with straps has all this gear! Great product if you build pvc frame.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product! Like a backpack for your car!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 14, 2015
    We needed a large carrier for our small Kia that doesn't have a trailer hitch or a roof rack. This was the right thing for sure!!! Of course in real life it doesn't look like the sales photo but it worked and that's all that matters. Loved it because I can get to my stuff easy, holds tons, didn't obstruct my view, didn't cause the drag, inexpensive, easy to lift on and use, all my stuff in one pack, water proof. Really nothing I don't like.
    Other stuff not just out of the box: We had to buy the clips but they were easy once we figured it all out. We followed another review's advice to put a board in the bottom (we bought light weight holed shelving board for like $5 and rounded the edges and covered with duck tape). We had to use bungee cords on the bottom cause we had nothing to hook the straps to and used the center strap just for extra support- put that inside the car where you want it first. It has tons of room- we had 8 bags of clothes, 2 sleeping rolls, 2 pillows, and some blankets and still had tons of room! But the weight limit is 100 lbs so we went to Walmart and got the blue shopping bags and put clothes for the day in those bags (Mon. bag, Tues. bag etc.) and skipped on the luggage. I am glad we did that cause I just had to pull a bag out and leave the rest but I could get to my stuff. I had a contact emergency and it was super easy to get to my stuff. No wasted space or weight with suitcases - although their would have been room. Really a cool product! Read the other reviews for great tips - we are so glad we did!

    Fits great on the car. I ordered a Japanese number plate £25 available in the UK. Fits perfectly in the slot provided no messing around. Extremely high quality product did not move an inch when I tested it out. Gives me so much more room 😁.
    I have knocked together a big box to go inside so I can now pack the bag while it is fitted to my car. I also bought a small LED strip off Amazon to Illuminate the number plate. Absolutely fantastic.
