Yes, I would recommend the Thule Passage 2 Trunk Mount Bike Carrier, # TH910XT, for your 2006 Prius.

This is a great value trunk carrier from Thule. A video for this rack is linked. This carrier uses the patented FitDial adjustment system that makes for easy attachment to your Prius.

If your bikes lack a horizontal top frame tube, such as that found on a typical man's bike, then you may benefit from using a bike adapter bar like the Swagman Easy-Out # 64005. Adapter bars connect between the seat and handlebar posts to provide a level mounting surface to mate with carrier's arms. This helps keep the bikes level to maintain safe ground clearance at the wheels. You may also want to consider the Thule Passive Security Strap # TH533 to help deter theft of your trunk rack.
