I need the collectives brain power as I know nothing here - does anyone have any ideas as to what is the best bike rack to go on a hatchback - specifically a Hyundai Veloster? Needs to carry only one bike - and a Ladies bike at that with no crossbar up high. Happy to pay top dollar if needed for the right rack if someone has some experience here please. There are tonnes on line, starting at $50 but I have no idea what will and won’t work.

TIA. 👍

Does it have a tow bar?

Check out the Saris Bones, I've got one and have used it on a Toyota Starlet, Kia Magentis and an MX5. Really good design.
For a ladies bike you can buy a top tube bar just for transporting them.

We had an earlier iteration of this Allen rack. We put it on the back of a VP wagon for the kids bikes. It was solid and would fit anything.
