I've used a Hollywood bike rack that has straps that hook to the top of the
hatch and to the bumper. It works great on all types of vehicles, cost ~$60,
and can hold 3 bikes no problem. Check out:

Subject: Best inexpensive bike rack for hatch

I'm interested in a fold-away, inexpensive (under $75.00) bike rack capable
of carrying 3 bikes.  I don't need anything expensive or incredibly
well-made because it will be for occasional recreational use.  We are not
serious bikers.  Up to now, have traveled with 2 bikes inside the Vanagon
(90 Multivan) but 3 would be too crowded and we couldn't take the dogs.
Anybody have any ideas?
