Question:

We are looking for a bike rack for a 2018 VW Beetle Convertible. I am reading some reviews that this might work 24922 with this car. I am also wondering if a trunk mount might work, but I am seeing mixed information that a trunk rack cannot be secured since this is a convertible. It has a sizeable trunk area and it looks like a trunk rack might work, but there is a spoiler on the car. If you have any suggestions on the hitch or trunk mounts, let me know. I already have a 1.25inch bike rack for a hitch, so I can go either way on this.

The Curt hitch part # C11354 does fit your 2018 Volkswagen Beetle Convertible. We had a customer who tried to fit this to their 2018 model and they came back and said it fit and worked well.

The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Thule Camber 2 part # TH9058. We asked our demo and install guys to name their favorite, most easy-to-use bike racks and this one showed up in nearly everyone's top three. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

If you plan on carrying any women's or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
