Roof racks & carriers

Roof racks & carriers in the UAE

Updated 31 October 2026

A roof rack in the UAE costs roughly AED 200 to AED 900 for cross bars or roof bars, AED 280 to AED 1,000 for a soft bag or basket, and AED 880 to AED 3,100 for a hard roof box. These are approximate prices from sellers' websites, October 2026. The quickest way to current offers is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Warranty and brand terms

Warranty depends on the product. One premium brand gives two years on its bars, with an option of three more years on some products. Another maker gives five years on roof platforms but one year on textile products and locks. Some retailers list lifetime cover for roof racks and mounts, but only three years for cargo boxes. Keep the proof of purchase, because a warranty claim will ask for it.

Fitting: roof rails and your car

Many cars need roof rails to fit cross bars, and some models do not, so check what your car has before you buy. Model-specific kits for popular SUVs are sold for particular years, so give the exact car model and year. A universal kit with clamps fits a wider range of cars, but it takes more time to set up.

Season, sun and heat

Summer from May to September is very hot and sunny, which fades and wears soft bags and straps, so keep soft bags out of the sun when the car is parked. October is still warm, and the mild months from November to March suit longer trips with a loaded roof.

Sizes and how they are sold

Listings mix inches and centimetres, for example a 46 x 36 inch basket, so convert before comparing volumes in litres. Check the load limit too: one basket lists 150 lb, which is about 68 kg. Ask whether delivery to your city is included, because delivery costs can differ between Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman and Al Ain.

To get offers, describe what you need in a chat on BlaBlaPrice, in your own words, and add a photo if you have one. Our AI asks for missing details, such as your car model and whether you have roof rails, then looks through sellers' websites and price lists in the UAE and shows the prices and businesses it finds. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own price, terms and delivery. Your contacts stay hidden, and you decide with whom to exchange them. It is free for buyers.
