  Carrying bikes without a tow bar - and not using the roof?

  I'm halfway through my PCP, and we've just got into cycling as the kids have gotten old enough. Would ideally love a way to carry two adult and two child mountain bikes on my D5, but I don't want the cost of a tow bar when the car will likely be going back in 18 months.
  
  Are there any bike carriers on the market for the rear of a D5 which don't require a tow bar?
  
  Not a fan of trying to put stuff on the roof... And I didn't spec and roof bars anyway...
  
  I'm guessing the answer is no as I tried some searching myself, but just asking on the off chance!?!?!

  You could try something like this:

  but it doesn't specifically fit the D5 though I'm sure you could make it fit.
  
  I also wouldn't want to dangle 4 bikes off the rear door......
