Expert Reply:
I recommend the Thule Passage 3 Bike Carrier # TH911XT which is a very popular trunk rack. It has a dial system to adjust the arms that fit onto your car. If you choose to purchase this rack, the dial you would use is 7 for your Prius.
For extra security with this rack, you can add in a long cable lock like part # e98891 to lock up all three bikes. I attached videos showing how each bike rack is installed.
.
I also drive a Prius and trunk mounted racks might be the easiest option to carry 3 bikes on our cars since they can only accommodate a 1 1/4 hitch which are rated to carry a max of 2 bikes.
