Assuming you have a tow bar then Thule have some options. However you'll need to combine the tow bar bike rack with an adaptor like this one....

I have the Thule Euroclassic G6 combined with the extension so I can carry 4 mountain bikes. I haven't bought the adaptor yet but giving it serious consideration....Any feedback on it gratefully received.

I have recently bought a cheap bike carrier and so far is better than price expectations. For less than 300 quid I bet it’s unbeatable. Takes no problem my bike and my wife’s and the 2 small bike of the kids (2 and 5 years old).
