Beginner here. Looking to get myself a Sea Kayak (or even rent for
now) but come across a bit of a problem. I own a 2000 Honda Civic 2
door and got a quote for a roof rack and Kayak carrier and WOW the set
up costs just as much as the darn Kayak! Is there any other way to
safely transport a Kayak with my car without BREAKIN THE BANK?

A quality roof rack is a bit pricey, but it's a wise investment! No other
cheaper methods will be as secure, or last as long as a good solid
roofrack. Yakima, Thule, whatever.

You can rig up foam blocks and tie it on with ropes or straps, but it's
not gonna be as secure and it's not gonna last as long.

Do what you can! :-)
