Your 2010 Hyundai Elantra Touring model is well suited for a trunk mounted bike rack. We have several that are a fit for your vehicle, see the provided link.
Of the various racks available that fit your vehicle, without a doubt the easiest to use is the Thule OutWay. The OutWay is available in a 2 bike (# TH45JV) or 3 bike (# TH56BV) capacity. Instead of the difficult to use buckle and strap arrangement that most trunk mounted racks use to attach to the vehicle, the Gateway uses only 2 rubber coated straps to connect the rack to the vehicle.
If you will be carrying women's bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # TH982XT is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so the bike has greater ground clearance and is not carried at an angle.
