I have this 5 bike Allen rack I got from Amazon for $100 (now $130): https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001M4...ge?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It has been super solid for 5 or 6 years now. I have had it fully loaded with 5 bikes for many road trips and camping trips. Mind you those are family trips with cruiser bikes, beaters and kids bikes.
If I'm doing a real bike trip with any of my carbon fiber bikes, then I skip this and the bikes go directly in the bed of the truck (and I'm usually solo anyway).
Definitely will save you some money. Just depends on what you are after and what bikes you'll be hauling.
