    Does anyone have any good recommendations for a bike rack for a 2009 prius?

    i don't want anything to extremely expensive, but enough to get the job done

    There are many threads covering this. Do some forum searches.

    The Saris Bones worked well for me...

    does that leave any dents/indentations on your hatch/bumper?? seems that the weight of the bikes would be pushing down on those 2 points.

    Mmm good point qmtran. That bumper plastic is extremely weak. If it does dent you can always buy the OEM bumper protector ($36?) to cover any dents or avoid it in the future.

    None whatsoever. The bumper itself is well built for supporting weight.
