Remember key criteria is easy to load. Thus no roof racks, trunk racks, or hitch racks with telephone poles. Only sensible option is a hitch tray rack. Secondary criteria is probably easy to secure bike.

Some dummy at REI quoted her about 1 grand for a good rack.
The rack is only $99

Hitch connector is $80

Hitch is $90

Uhaul will install for about $40 or $50.
Lock is $50

So for $370 she has a top of the line, easy to load rack that saves her $630 over dummy REI estimate.
