Update 7/17/2024: Since we updated on July 16, deals have remained consistent with the exception of the discount on Thule’s T2 Pro XT/XTR Hitch Bike Rack, which has actually lessened. Yesterday, the bike rack was 14 percent off, but today it’s only 6 percent off.

While we can ride our bikes to many places, sometimes we need to employ our cars to help bring them to a far-off trail, a friend’s far-flung neighborhood, or a road trip destination. For those situations, a bike rack comes in super handy. If summer has had you out and about and on the road, you might find one useful, too. Luckily, quite a few Bicycling-approved models are currently on sale at Amazon.

As you might know, Prime Day is here—but not for long. Amazon’s major two-day sale event comes to a close at the end of today, but in the meantime, there are plenty of awesome deals to shop—including some on bike racks.

We’ve sifted through our various guides to the best bike racks to find five trunk and hitch rack deals you can shop this Prime Day.

Most Versatile Trunk Rack

Now 30% Off

You can now score 30 percent off this editor-loved trunk rack, which means it’s just under $112 on Amazon instead of its typical $160 price.

In our guide to the best trunk bike racks, this model was heralded for its versatility. “This rack is one of the most versatile thanks to an adjustable hub that allows it to fit a variety of vehicles. It also folds easily for storage,” says writer Doug Newcomb.

Right now, this editor-approved bike rack is 20 percent off on Amazon. This means you can save just over $120 on it at the moment.

This model from Yakima was named to our list of the best bike racks, nabbing the title of best for heavy bikes. “It stands out among other hitch racks because of its outstanding weight capacity: It can carry two 66 pound bikes—more than enough to carry most heavy mountain bikes or e-bikes,” Test Editor Bobby Lea and writer Nick Hilden wrote in our guide.

Final Chance! Nab Up to 42% Off Our Best-Reviewed Bike Racks for Prime Day (7)

Now 26% Off

This model was named the best budget option in our guide to the best trunk bike racks. Now that the two-bike version is 26 percent off, it’s even more budget-friendly: While it’s usually listed as $60, you can pick it up right now for under $45. And though it’s definitely more affordable, our team found it might not be the friendliest for your digits.

“If you need an inexpensive rack for quick trips, this one won’t bust your budget,” Newcomb wrote in our guide. “It’s the smallest and lightest rack included here and installs relatively easy, though the Z-shaped pieces that give the rack rigidity are hard to install without pinching your fingers.”

Both the two- and three-bike versions of this rack are currently on sale, with the three-bike model going for 42 percent off.

Best Update on a Hitch Rack

Now 11% Off

You can grab this hitch bike rack from Thule for six percent off on Amazon right now. And though that might not sound like much, it will save you $50.

This model was named to our list of best hitch bike racks, receiving the title of best update. “When the T2 debuted over a decade ago, it raised the bar for what riders expect from a hitch-mounted bike rack,” Deputy Editor Tara Seplavy and Assistant Commerce Editor Adam Schram wrote in our list. “Thule updated the T2 to accommodate wider tires and different wheel sizes. Plus, it made the rack better looking and easier to operate. Topping the list of recent upgrades is a handle with a wide trigger that allows you, with a single hand, to raise and lower the rack (and dip it out of the way for access to rear hatches).”

Another aspect our editors noted? It totes around your electric bike with no problems, thanks to its 120-pound total capacity.

Named to our list of the best trunk bike racks for its design and convenience, this Saris model is currently 5 percent off on Amazon. We realize this isn’t a huge deal, but it will help you save some cash on a top-rated model.

If you’re after a bike rack that you can fix to your trunk with ease (and isn’t particularly heavy), this is a nice option. “This basic trunk bike rack design has been around for more than a quarter century, and with good reason: It’s simple, lightweight, and easy to use,” Newcomb writes in our list. “The unique design of the rack’s appendages provides extra clearance for vehicles with a spoiler, while amply cushioned main contact points protect your car.”
