Question:
HI there - what do you recommend for a bike holder that can hold 3, I have a Nissan Juke 2013. Preferably one that can be detached from the car.

We have several 3-bike trunk mount bike carriers that will fit your 2013 Nissan Juke. I have included a link to all of the models that will fit your Juke.
For a good entry-level carrier I recommend the Thule Passage 3, # TH911XT. This carrier has the features you'd expect from a quality bike carrier including ant-sway cradles and padded legs to help protect the vehicle. I have linked a video review of this carrier.
For a bike carrier that will be the easiest to put on and take off of the Juke I recommend the Thule OutWay # TH56BV. This is the top of the line model with upgraded road dampening technology, and integrated cable lock, and a lock on the access door to the cable adjustments.
The locks deter theft of not just the bikes but also the carrier. This carrier uses only 2 retractable cables that store in the carrier itself so there are no loose straps flapping in the wind. Also the 2 cables make it easier to install/remove the carrier compared to other carriers that use 4-6 straps. I have linked a video review of this carrier as well.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground clearance. I have to use these adapters and without them my wife's bike would be at a severe angle and I would not be able to load my son's bike at all. I have linked a video showing how the adapter works.
