lyslexic Posted June 11, 2018 Share Hi Off to durbs for 2 weeks and decided to take my bike with me. I don't own a bike bag so bought a 29er cardboard box from cwc. It's pretty big! so the question is, will it fit into an uber or a toyota corolla? Just wondering if anyone has done this before. Ubered with a big bike box and luggage I mean.

Toyota Corolla might be tight Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duane_Bosch Posted June 11, 2018 Share No it won't. But you can book an uber van. Be warned tho. I wanted to do this but on the day of our trip there were no vans available to us. Having said that I live in Hout Bay. lyslexic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I Uber around with my Evoc bag, and if I travel alone that fits on the backseat, sometimes.Carboard box will not fit, but just get an Uber Van, that will sort it.

JCA12 Posted June 11, 2018 Share Thanks for the replies. Will see if i can pre-order a van.You can fit in a Toyota Avansa. Jade fitted 2 boxes in. Uber XL includes the avansa as one of the cars used. Any similar sized vehicles should be able to take a bike box with back and middle seats folded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Posted June 11, 2018 Share I've squeezed bikes in cardboard boxes (not the largest kind) and Evoc bikes bags into Uber XLs on a number of occasions. It's not pretty but it works. It doesn't work too well if there are additional passengers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MitchConway Posted June 11, 2018 Share I also managed two boxes in an avanza (Uber XL.) I managed to get an uber van pretty easily at the airport in durbs as they sit there all day. Trouble may be getting back to the airport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dman2 Posted June 11, 2018 Share You brought a cardboard box? I hope that means cwc packed the bike for you. I Uber XL to PE, it was no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked if they had any cardboard boxes, they said they didn't but can sell me one, so I bought it. It's the same kind of box you get from boxman.

lyslexic Posted June 11, 2018 Share Thanks everyone Going to set my alarm for 5.45am the next few morning's and check if there's an uber XL in the area at that time. Knowing my luck, one will be available every morning except the morning I need it. It's just the CPT leg to the airport that i need to worry about. I'll ditch the box at the airport for the return trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
