I have a solution that will allow you carry a bike rack with your 2015 Volkswagen Beetle but there isn't a trunk rack that will fit the convertible models of your vehicle.

Instead you would need to go with a hitch mounted option.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

For a hitch you would then want the part # C11354.

If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes, you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance. With the Curt hitch, you will also need to use a stabilizer strap # 18050 when using a bike or cargo rack.
