Planning a cycling holiday, overseas race, triathlon or cycling adventure? Take your own bike with you by hiring a hard-case bicycle travel box from Ross Cycles in Caterham, Surrey.
We offer three bike box options from different manufacturers, giving you a choice of cases for transporting your bicycle by air or on longer journeys. Hiring is a convenient alternative to buying an expensive bike box that you might only use once or twice a year.
Whether you're travelling with a road bike, racing bike or mountain bike, contact us to discuss which of our available cases is best suited to your bicycle and travel plans.
Choose from Three Bike Box Options
VeloVault Hard-Case Bike Box
One of our available options is the VeloVault, a British-designed hard-shell bicycle travel case developed with input from experienced cyclists and triathletes.
The fourth-generation VeloVault featured a number of design details intended to make bike transport easier and provide structural support during transit.
Features of the fourth-generation VeloVault include:
- Hard-shell construction: A rigid outer case designed to help protect your bicycle during transport.
- Reinforced internal struts: Designed to provide additional structural support.
- Stainless-steel catches: Robust catches designed to secure the case closed.
- Versatile wheel mounting: The design accommodates a range of conventional wheel sizes, including 29-inch mountain bike wheels.
- Disc rotor recesses: Integrated recesses designed to accommodate disc brake rotors.
- Multiple wheel-mounting positions: Helps accommodate larger wheels and improve clearance between wheels.
These details relate to the fourth-generation VeloVault described in the manufacturer's launch coverage; exact features and compatibility depend on the model available for hire.
Other Bike Travel Box Options
We also have two alternative bike box options from different manufacturers. If you have a particular preference, or your bicycle has unusual dimensions or components, please contact us before booking so we can help you select a suitable case.
The best choice depends on your bicycle, wheel size, frame dimensions and how you intend to travel.

Which Bike Box Do I Need?
The right bike travel case depends on the bicycle you're taking and the type of journey you're planning.
Before booking, consider:
- Road bikes: Check frame dimensions, handlebar clearance and wheel compatibility.
- Mountain bikes: Check wheel size, tyre width, frame dimensions and the space needed for wider handlebars.
- Disc brakes and thru-axles: Confirm the case's mounting system is compatible with your wheels and components.
- Air travel: Check your airline's bicycle baggage dimensions, weight limits and charges.
Bike boxes generally require some preparation and partial dismantling of the bicycle. Always follow the case instructions and your airline's requirements.
