What makes this a canoe instead of a kayak? How small does it get? I'm wondering if it'll fit in a car trunk.

I can tell you that this kayak/canoe should fit in the trunk of your car. I own a Chevy Malibu and when deflated it fits in the trunk with ease, even when I don't roll it up that well. I imagine it would not be an issue fitting it in smaller cars as well. The hard part for me is fitting paddles and fishing poles in my car. One thing I would recommend buying to go with this is a tarp to put in your trunk with it... When you take it out of the water, it will be wet and if you deflate it on grass or sand it tends to stick to the kayak/canoe. I keep the tarp in my trunk to ensure that my car doesn't get messy. The tarp is a cheap purchase and saves a lot of cleanup time. I hope this helps!

It's very similar to a kayak. It will fit in a car trunk easily. Be sure to fully inflate it or it will sit very low in the water. I love mine and I'm still happy I bought it.

There is a big carrying handle on the front that you could loop a cable-type bike lock through, if you had a post or tree close enough. The other option is to simply deflate it and take it with you. We have a rolling duffle bag that the kayak, pump and paddles all fit in, and we've occasionally bungeed the duffle to the back storage compartment so that we could take a one-way trip downstream and then take the kayak back with us on a bus.

I have a sit-in kayak and it fits in mine. I have the LL Bean Calypso kayak which is smaller since it is made for women and I tried it out when I got it and it seems like it will work. I have not tried it out for real in the water yet for hours, but I am hopeful since it is to late to return it since I got it for Christmas.

The wheels come off and the frame collapses flat. The frame will have to be strapped down on top of the kayak as it will not fit in any hatches I know of..I have put the wheels in the hatches but my hatches are wide enough...not sure what kind of Kayak you have...

I am not sure about the size of the Honda civic. That may be a bit small??? We load our canoe on our 1998 Pontiac Montana with ease.

Legally no, but my kayak and your canoe are both "too long". Keep any loads that you put in the canoe up front and within the length of the bed. Excess weight in the aft section might tend to pull the canoe out of the bed in an emergency stop or swerving. Just like loading a trailer. Too much weight in the aft might also create excess load on the extension it's self. Keep the weight in the truck and have fun.

I can't remember exactly, but I remembered thinking "How could the kayak fit in that box?". In the bag, it can fit easy in even a small trunk will lots of extra room. Hope this helps

If your canoe is 16" or shorter it should fit. It is most durable and I think you would like it.

You could buy a rack for the top of your car. They clip in on the top of your doors. I'd make sure the canoe doesn't block your view in front of your car.

Dear William,I if you have an SUV it should fit in the trunk. Smaller car probably length of the back seat

Sorry I can't answer that. The kayak was a Christmas present for our granddaughter and since we live in Ohio, and the weather here has been quite cold, there hasn't been an opportunity for her to take it out.

It might work, but I wouldn't recommend it. The canoe height (when on water) is much greater than a kayak and therefore it would overhang the base of the rack significantly. You would probably also need longer straps to go around a canoe instead of a kayak. I'd recommend the Thule canoe rack (http://www.amazon.com/Thule-579XT-Canoe-Mount-Carrier/dp/B0001HAC4Q) or just foam blocks. A Thule saddle carrier might also be a good option if you want one rack to carry a canoe or kayak.

I have never tried to fit it in a car trunk. I use it only where I live and take a smaller, more flexible, walker to go out.

It is like a regular wheel chair. the top parts comes off and then it becomes the size of a regular wheel chair. You can put it in the trunk of regular car.

Just ran down to the beach and measured my stands: 15 inches wide. Not knowing the measurements of your canoe, am guessing it would work if you place your canoe so each stand is under a seat. My kayak's beam is 28 inches and I store it, hull side up, on the stands with no problem.

You'll need a pretty big bag to fit this boat in. Intex sells them on their website if your interested. Ive hiked carrying this thing (deflated) for about a half a mile no problem. I don't recommend carrying it more than that though it can get heavy sometimes. But the bag is easier.

As this is designed for kayaks, I would not think this would hold a canoe.....
