Our bike box hire service makes it easy to travel with your bike or Brompton and broaden your cycling horizons. Bike box hire is available from £40 per week.
We offer Bike Box Alan hard cases and Brompton hard cases. The boxes have wheels to make negotiating busy airports easy, and are constructed from super-tough ABS hard plastic. The boxes feature an anti-crush pole and a large number of Velcro straps to hold everything in place. Depending on the size and style of bike, there may be additional space for helmet, pump and pedals.
On the day of collection, you'll need some personal ID such your passport or driving licence. We take a £150 deposit which is refunded when you return the box within your hire agreement dates.
If you have a busy schedule and timing is paramount, we can pack your bike for £25 and can re-assemble your bike upon your return for a small additional fee of £15. In both cases, the bike must be pre-booked and brought to our store on Gray's Inn Road.

Hire Terms and Conditions
Damage & insurance
It is your responsibility to insurance the box and its contents. Damage to the box and any missing components or parts may result in the loss of your deposit.
If the box or its contents are damaged in transit, it must be reported to the appropriate authorities within the airport baggage collection hall or the train station (as applicable), so that a claim can be made. If you leave the baggage hall or station without making a claim, this could result in losing your hire deposit.
Please use the carry holes to attach flight labels to avoid a £20 surcharge for removing labels (courier or flight labels).
The box must be returned in the polythene bag provided on delivery.
The 'anti crush' pole, foam padding and accessories must be returned. You will be charged £20 for any items missing upon return.
Please do not deface or mark the box with any permanent markers or stickers.
Use a TSA (Transportation Security Authority) approved lock. These are recognised internationally by most security services and permit authorities to inspect your luggage and contents without cutting open or damaging the box to gain access.
Any failed collections will be chargeable at £20.
Cancellation
Cancellation can be made up to two weeks prior to hire without charge.
