Rear mount bike rack

We want to occasionally mount two bikes on the back of our Xtrail (too old to climb up on top). We won't be using the bike rack too often - mainly on holidays on the highway, and don't want to spend a lot of money.

Is there a generic rack that fits well on the vehicle? We live in small town BC so something available at Canadian Tire or Walmart would be helpful

Thanks for your advice

Larry

What do you mean by "it will dent the bumper like it did mine"? So, What is the right way to install it or use it?
