Another possibility is to travel with an old blanket or furniture pad in the trunk. Drape the pad over the rear saddle and down the back of the car. Now, lift the bow of the kayak onto the padded trunk, and push it up onto the padded saddle and then forward onto the unpadded saddle. Finally, lift the stern of the boat just enough to pull the pad out. This works equally well for getting the boat down off the car solo.
