We do offer trunk mount bike carriers for your 2012 Toyota Prius C. Some carriers work with a spoiler and some are designed to fit a Prius without a spoiler.

The carrier I recommend is the Hollywood Racks, part # HRF2. This carrier will work on your Prius regardless of a spoiler being present. This carrier has upper arms that extend over the spoiler and is designed to fit vehicles with spoilers, SUVs, minivans, and hatchbacks with spoilers. It can hold 2 bikes that weigh up to 35 lbs each. I have attached a link to a product review video for this carrier you can check out.

if you are planning on carrying bikes with alternative frames like kid's bikes or women's bikes, I recommend using an adapter bar like part # 64005. This attaches between the seat post and the handlebar stem and holds the bike level in the carrier while providing more ground clearance. I have attached a link to a product review for this adapter bar.
