I was torn between a trunk mount carrier and installing a trailer hitch. I finally decided on the trunk mount due to the expense and portability. We have two adult and two kid bikes so I really wanted a carrier that would hold all four. The Allen mount was super easy to install and kept the bikes very secure. We traveled over various types of roads on a seven hour trip and only had to slightly tighten one strap once. I would definitely recommend this product to others.

We purchased this because we needed a rack to haul 4 bikes. My wife and I along with our two boys enjoy riding.
My wife and I were the first to use it on a substantial trip. We put both of our bikes on and decided to take an out of state trip.
At the time I drove a Honda Civic Hybrid. Normally I get about 40mpg driving on the highway. With the bike rack I was getting about 30 mpg.
I think it was the way the weight is distributed. I tow scooters all the time with my hybrid (which weigh more; but, are towed on a trailer as opposed to the trunk) and get around 38 mpg with the scooters.
This is easy to use -- but, I was amazed at how inefficient it caused my fuel consumption to become.

It was difficult to find a bike rack made that would fit my Ford Taurus and hold 4 bikes. This one does. While the rack is a tad heavy for me (not surprising because it needs to hold 4 bikes) it is functional. I recommend some extra velcro straps to help secure the wheels and keep them from moving in transit.

Allen Deluxe 4-Bike Trunk Mount Rack
My family and I Traveled over 1200 miles from Michigan to Tennessee with my mountain bike along with two kids bikes. The rack worked great with very little movement from the bikes and no scratches to the bikes or my vehicle (Dodge Grand Caravan). The kids bikes(one 16" girls and one 20" boys) did not fit the traditional way as mine fit, but I was able to mount them securly without any extra straps or adjustments. We only traveled with three bike, but a fourth bike would have fit perfectly. It took about 20 minutes to attach the mount and mount the bikes the first time, but I was able to do it all in five or ten minutes for the trip home. I would recommend the tension bar adaptor for a women's bike. Although we did not take my wife's bike on the trip, the tension bar will be necessary for our next trip when we take all four bikes. If there is a fault, I would say that the bracket(hook) that attaches the rack to the vehicle should have some kind of pad to prevent scratching the vehicle. I don't know that it would have scratched the door, but I took a preventive measure by cutting pieces of cloth to place between the door and the brackets. The cost of the rack and tension bar was far less than if I would have purchased it through the local bike shop. I am very happy with my purchase.

We read all the reviews before purchasing. All but one seemed to be very good, so we figured the one bad review had just installed the item improperly. We wished that we had listened! We installed the rack on our minivan and double checked it to make sure all was sturdy. We were only traveling about 2 miles and only carrying 2 bikes, but the portion of the rack that was against the top part of the hatch completely crushed the car hatch and the bikes were nearly falling off the vehicle. This product should not be used on a minivan!!!!! We have quite a bit of damage for a 2 mile ride and needless to say we are returning the item for another car rack. If you own a minivan, DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!!
