Recommended 3 Bike Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2019 Honda Odyssey

For your 2019 Honda Odyssey, the only 3-bike rack we have confirmed to fit is my favorite trunk mounted rack the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top # HRF2-3. This bike rack is specifically made to work well with the spoiler on the back of your Odyssey to ensure there is no contact with that spoiler. Other rack options drape over the spoiler and could cause issues with the spoiler bearing too much weight and the possibility of being damaged. This rack has the customizable fit to work very well and give you the necessary support. The high-rise frame extends up and over the top of your hatch allowing you to attach the top straps without any contact to your spoiler.

I recommend also using the Thule Passive Security strap # TH533 which will lock the rack to your locked hatch. This has two metal cables inside a nylon sleeve to give you strength and yet protect from scratches. Then you can use a cable lock like # e98891 to secure your bikes to the frame to deter theft. For stability and level transport, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes # HRBA-PRO. This will create a top frame rail between the seat post and handlebars for any step-thru style frame for level transport and ground clearance.

If you'd prefer an option that doesn't have direct contact with your vehicle, I recommend installing a trailer hitch and getting a hitch mounted carrier. If you'd like help with those options I've linked the page to assist.
