I have a saris 3-bike rack. That uses all the straps. It works ok. But I hate putting the straps on, it's hard to get them to stay. I worry that the thing will fail (although it never has).

When I do drive somewhere with my bike, I usually use my truck and it's hitch rack. And I leave the hitch rack on all the time.

But hitch racks are more expensive, and you have to buy/install/have a hitch.

FWIW, I installed a front hitch on my truck, so I can transport my bikes in the front, if I'm hauling something in the back.
