The bike box we hire
Bike Box Alan hire — EasyFit & Premium.
The Bike Box Alan is the gold-standard hard-shell bike travel case. Rather than spending around £755 to buy one you’d use a few times a year, hire one from a local hub from £7.10/day — no deposit, free live tracking, and upgraded swivel wheels on every box.

What are the dimensions of a Bike Box Alan?
See the spec table above for the exact external dimensions and weight limits of each model we hire. As a guide, both the EasyFit and Premium are full hard-shell cases sized to take a complete bike with the wheels, pedals and bars removed — the EasyFit is the roomier of the two for wider bars and bigger frames.
What is the difference between the Bike Box Alan EasyFit and Premium?
The Premium (from £7.10/day) is lighter and more compact and fits most road and gravel bikes. The EasyFit (from £11.00/day) is roomier — better for TT and triathlon bikes, mountain bikes, and handlebars wider than about 50 cm.
Can I hire a Bike Box Alan instead of buying one?
Yes — that’s exactly what we do. Buying a Bike Box Alan costs around £755; hiring one from Bike Box Hire UK is from £7.10/day with a 7-day minimum and no deposit, collected from a local hub. For anyone who flies with a bike a few times a year, hiring is far cheaper than owning and storing a case.
Is the Bike Box Alan a good bike box for flying?
It’s widely regarded as the gold standard. The hard shell protects your bike far better than a cardboard box or soft bag, and every box we hire runs on four upgraded swivel wheels and includes free live location tracking, so it’s easy to move through the airport and you always know where it is.
