The support rod of the luggage carrier is constituted by at least two concentrically positioned portions (18, 20) which are concentrically displaceable in relation to each other for allowing adjustment of the length of the support rod and thereby that the luggage carrier is adapted to the width of the vehicle. The support rod can be dismounted or pushed together to a space-saving position of the luggage carrier. The luggage carrier comprises a locking device for securing the portions of the support rod in a desired relative position.
