Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2008 Volkswagen New Beetle

Question:

Is there a bike rack that will work on a 2008 VW Beetle Convertiable. I love to bike with my grandson, but there is no way to carry two bikes in my car.

I have a solution that will allow you to carry a bike rack with your 2008 Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible, but none of the trunk racks we offer would work since they all exclude convertible models.

Instead you would want to go with a hitch mounted option. First you would need to start with a hitch. For that you would want the Draw Tite Hitch part # 24679 as it has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle. I attached an install video.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
