Expert Reply:
To transport 2 Hobie kayaks on your 2016 Jeep Renegade with raised side rails, you will need a roof rack system. For an economic option that will get the job done, I recommend the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails - Aluminum - 65" Long # MPG217.
As far as a kayak carrier for the AirFlow2, I recommend the Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs - J-Style - Folding - Side Loading # S512-S512X. The Rhino-Rack 2 comes with 4 tie-down straps and 4 bow/stern ties. The carrier will hold two kayaks up to a maximum of 165 pounds. This is the most economic carrier that will handle kayaks of your width and weight.
