I have two options that will allow you to carry bikes on your 2018 Honda Accord. You can either use a trailer hitch with a hitch mounted bike rack or a trunk mounted bike rack. A trunk mounted bike rack will be more cost effective but a hitch mounted bike rack allows for much more options as far as bike racks go.

In order to use a hitch mounted bike rack you will first need a trailer hitch and for that I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C11525 as this is the only confirmed fit we have for you at this time. In order to abide by Curt's warranty, the Curt Trailer Hitch Support Strap part # 18050 is required for all non towing applications. For a bike rack, the Thule Camber 2 Bike Rack part # TH9058 is an excellent option and will work well for you.

For a trunk mounted bike rack, the Saris Bones 2 Bike Carrier part # SA805BL is another great option and as long as you have the 4 door version, will work well for you. The Saris Bones carrier has vinyl-coated hooks that won't scratch your car's finish. We also have a review video of this rack which I have attached.
