Bike rack

[Realiaink]

Hi all.

Recently got a lease A4 Avant 20 plays and looking for the best and affordable options on a bike rack or storage? I have 2 kids bikes and 1 adult but it’s a minefield trying to work out what to get. I also don’t want to be paying stupid money for something I might need for just 2 years. 
 

Any suggestions or prior experience?

Think you're 3 options are: 

1st. Universal one that attaches to the boot which probably will be the cheapest.

2nd. Roof rack with bike carriers which either can be bought from Halfords or more expensive option of Audi. For this you'll need the roof bars, rack abd bike mounts

3rd. Only applicable if you have a tow bar but you can get towbar mounted ones.

Thanks for the reply.

I think it is either Option 1 or Option 2.

For Option 2 - would it be the following:

Then three of these :

Struggling to find any rear boot ones that fit for Option 1- we wouldn't be using it often, more for getting the kids bikes around.

Thanks

That looks about right but I'd ask Halfords for advice. Option one was popular back in the day, I'm assuming they're still legal? You still see them on the road.
