Getting bikes to the trail shouldn’t feel like work. At just 20 lbs, this platform rack is easy to lift, install, and remove. It carries 2 bikes up to 35 lbs each, so it’s a strong yet manageable option for everyday riders. The lightweight steel build still brings a solid feel on the road, keeping bikes steady without adding bulk.
No one likes a rack that wobbles as you drive. The included anti-rattle, locking hitch pin keeps the connection tight so the rack stays still over bumps and turns. It also locks to deter theft, so you can stop for a break knowing your setup is secure.
Odd-shaped frames? No problem. The rotating holders turn 360° and move up or down the center mast to fit different frame styles, including step-through and women’s designs. Rubber padding protects paint and finishes, while ratcheting straps keep each bike firmly in place.
The curved wheel trays sit low, so you don’t need to lift bikes high to mount them. Each tray adjusts to fit wheelbases up to 48" and tire widths up to 3.0". Padded ratcheting straps wrap around the wheels for a snug, shake-free hold on the drive.
When the ride’s over, the rack folds up against the back of the vehicle to save space. A simple knob and pin system makes the fold easy to manage, keeping the Destination out of the way and ready for the next trip.

This is a great rack for the price. Lightweight, easy to use. It does take some manipulating for the frame straps on the upright depending on the type of bike frame that you have. I have 2.8" tires on my Trek Roscoe 8 and you can't go much bigger for tire for this rack. It takes a bit of time to get the rack out of the way to be able to use the hatch on your vehicle ( I have a 2020 Ford Escape). I do wish the straps for the tires were a bit longer to accommodate the larger 2.8" tires on the bike. The hitch lock that came with the bike is nice but a little bit of a pain to use as you can't really tell if it is locked or not despite the indicator on the lock. This rack in the fold up position will interfere with your back up camera and cause the annoying constant beep, in the down position without bikes it doesn't not interfere with the back up camera. It is very easy to install as it only weights 20lbs which is FABULOUS. It takes a little bit of time to put together initially out of the box but not rocket science. i do not keep the rack on the vehicle, only use it when I plan on riding. Storage can be an issue as it does not fold away completely flat but you could easily hang on some S hooks in a garage as it's light enough to lift yourself and store away. The red strap that comes with it could have a better retention feature so the strap doesn't slip. All in all for the price this is definitely a rack I would purchase again. I am glad I went with the platform rack vs. hanging rack. Etrailer's customer service is superb and highly recommend them. I even got asked at a red light where I got the rack as he had not been able to find one without having to pay over $700 for some very well known brands
I realy like how it holds my bikes securly in place. I also like that (without the bikes) I can open and close the hatch on my 2014 Hyundia Santa Fe.
I have a 2" receiver on my car.
We went away for a long weekend from CT to VT and had no issues with it holding my bikes. Would definetly recomend.
Just came today, right on schedule. All the pieces are there, and the rack looks really sharp on my black 2024 Prius. I have not loaded my bikes yet, but a quick estimation is that I will be able to open the trunk with the bike on the rack.
Generally pretty happy with the product. The one issue that I have had is that the spring loaded clip on the frame clamp ratcheting strap has broken and no longer provides spring loading and no longer secures the strap in place. Fortunately, I only carry a single bike and am able to use the other frame clamp, but if this one clip fails I am out of business until I am able to get replacement parts.
It hasn't seen much use beyond the wonderful camping trip we bought it for. We can't wait to use it again!

I'm glad the bike rack worked well for you! Where did you go camping at?
Works well and I would have given it five stars, but I have a two inch receiver and the spacer it uses is at least 1/8 to 1/4 inches too small so it wiggles around while driving. I'd prefer it to be tight. I'll probably wedge some wood in there to tighten it up. Otherwise, the rack itself is nice.
A very good, inexpensive, lightweight bike rack. Folds nicely and doesn't interfere with the hatch opening on our 2023 XC40. I wouldn't consider this a heavy duty rack, more suitable for short trips to the riding trails. Good for urban living, as opposed to 4 wheeling out to a mountain destination. Several plastic components. Two things I dislike is 1) the hitch pin lock is cheesy plastic, and because of the threading bolt on the rack's hitch, you can't use a sturdier 5/8" locking pin. and 2) the cotter pins should have a small security cable.

Thank you so much for sharing your perspective and experience with this bike rack. It makes for a super valuable review. The photos are great, and again, really appreciate your honest take!
The Destination bike rack works perfectly on my 2020 Pacifica and I have clearance going over speed bumps! I recently upgraded my bike to a Trek step through which hung too low on my old Thule rack no matter how the cross bar adapter was adjusted. Problem solved!

Works great!
I did a lot of research and decided I didn’t want to spend $300 or more. This Hollywood Destination bike rack had such high reviews that I decided to make the purchase. I figured I could return it if it didn’t meet my specifications. But I am very happy I have it. It’s so easy to put on and take off of my Outback and the bike is very solid with no swaying when I maneuver Illinois roads. This was a great decision and thank you etrailer for your part in this purchase!

I would definitely recommend the Hollywood destination rack to anyone. It weighs 20 pounds and is easy to put on and take off my vehicle. I’m now riding an e-bike and this rack is doing a great job. Thanks
Would be nice if the tire straps were longer, so we don't have to spend another$[XX] for extensions. But otherwise, it's a nice bike rack. Easy assembly.
It is a quality product! Solid, easy to install, well made. My only complaint is that there are no reflective strips on it when the unit is in the up position. I saw reflective strips on one customer’s review but they obviously bought their own. I will go buy some but I think it would be smart of a company to make sure the product is safe when in use as well as when it is not

Holding up like new. Very happy with the bike rack. Added reflective tape to open areas and I’m very glad we did
This bike rack is perfect for my bike. It is not too heavy for me to lift and fit it into place. I have a Trek Verve 2 and it fits perfect.
For the price, it is an excellent value. Holds the two bicycles very well. Nicely designed, quality construction. Make sure you buy some Plesar reflectors if you fold the rack upright. So happy it for our 1.25 inch hitch, and with zero vibrations!
I've had this for a year. It's light weight, easy to load bikes on--exactly what I was looking for. I've used it to transport two bikes for long-ish drives (3-4 hours) with no problem at all; I would be comfortable using it on a road trip. Only problem is that the locking mechanism sticks a little bit; I fixed it with WD-40, knocking it on the ground a bit, and poking around the inside with a screwdriver--no idea which, if either, helped, but it's easier to use now.
Once an elite cyclist, I never imagined I’d have to relearn something as simple as riding a bike. But nine years after brain surgery, I’m finally able to get back on a bicycle without worrying about balance or drifting into oncoming traffic.
Our new Hollywood bike rack has made loading our bikes effortless for me and my wife, and now we’re back on the road together, chasing new trails and new adventures.
Thank you to etrailer for getting me set up with the perfect rack and helping make this next chapter possible.
Purchased this bike rack for my Prius V: Easy to install on the car, the rack works well for my old Trek mountain bike. My only suggestion is you need to snug the rack screw tight enough so it doesn't wiggle in the hitch. It is a very good, light-weight carrier!

Still working well, a great value!
The only downside is the initial assembly is a little cumbersome. The instructions are clear and it is very lightweight and easy to manage. The hatchback on my GTI does open with the mast up (with no bikes on it). Overall very pleased with the quality and ease of use.

That is great to hear. I am glad you still have that hatch access with it and it looks great on the vehicle. What kind of bikes do you have on it?
Online description and how-to videos very helpful. My order correspondence was timely and friendly. The bike rack is exactly what I wanted and received. Thanks.

I am very pleased with this hitch! Fit my bikes very nicely. Easy to assemble. Rack looks great on my Mazda cx-30. Customer service is very responsive.

A year later product is still in great condition and holding on great! I have it installed now on a CX 5
Easy to install and the two Trek bikes fit perfectly. You can't beat the price.

Its been a year and the Hollywood rack was the best decision . I tried trunk racks but for my car they were difficult to install and the bikes just didnt fit. I left the Hollywood rack installed until November. It was very easy to remove from the hitch. I have now reinstalled and we are off to various bike trails in the Chicago area. A BIG PLUS IS THE RACK FOLDS UP WHEN NOT IN USE AND I CAN STILL GET IN THE TRUNK!! I highly recommend the Hollywood rack for two bikes.

I appreciate that it is lightweight because I take it off/on each time I ride.

Glad to hear you are liking it, Melanie! This rack is definitely popular due to it's lightweight build! ^___^ Where do you typically go out riding?
Very pleased so far. The rack is lighter than my Sarris which was the main selling point after shoulder surgery. Love that it folds up and how it looks , as I rarely remove it during season. Enough clearance to open tailgate when rack is down on my 24 Jeep Grand C ,but not when folded up. Suggest checking your wheelbase with specs if you own a mountain bike. My Trek is an exact fit with straps . Little movement when driving without using the extra strapping provided but haven’t driven on rough roads. Good quality for price. As mentioned in other reviews, straps not as heavy as on my other rack, but seem to do the job well. Overall really happy with this rack.

Not one complaint after a year of heavy use. Still looks like new. Straps in tact never needed extra strapping . Excellent rack .

Nice bike rack. Bikes feel very secure when in transport. Let’s see how it holds up down the road.

The bike rack looks great! Personally, I love the purple bike! I had one just like it when I was younger
I bought this so that I could put my Trek low step on it. It was easy to assemble and fairly light weight. I can connect it to the hitch receiver by myself. The mast folds down for a good fit for my bike. My problem is that is sits up high on my Jeep Cherokee. I am not tall enough and strong enough to lift it. Also, the bike wobbles about on curvy road transit. It does serve the purpose.
It’s a great rack, very sturdy, easy to put together and use. My only concern with it was that my girlfriends step through bike is very large and heavy, but the rack is able to handle it with no problem. Definitely would reccomend this rack for beginners like myself.
