Question:

I have a 2018 Fiat 500 that I need a trailer hitch for, I want to carry my two bikes and I know that hitch racks are the way to go.

Hitch bike racks are the way to go as they give you the most solid connection to the vehicle, they don't touch any painted surfaces, and they are very easy to load/unload. The hitch you'd need for your 2018 Fiat 500 is the Curt part # C11363. It will require the stabilizer strap # C11363 when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack.

For a bike rack I really like the Saris Freedom Superclamp part # SA4025F.

This is a platform bike rack that only touches the bike at the tires and only weighs 35 lbs. The biggest drawback to platform bike racks has always been the weight of them, but with this rack you get the best of both worlds. The preferred attachment style with the lighter weight.
