I love my Thule hitch rack. It is heavy duty, easy to use, and folds up when I am not using it. Thule's site has a fit-guide, and they have an option (the Revolver) that swings out to the side to allow access to your back door from that direction. It just really depends on what you have and what type of rack you want. I wanted the tray type (T2) - my front wheel sits in a tray and the bike is held down with an arm that goes over the front wheel and a strap that goes through my rear wheel - much like that you see on buses. A good hitch-mounted rack isn't inexpensive, but well worth it.
Check out Thule's fit guide found here and it will give you an idea what will work with your vehicle. You will also want to check out the fit guides on the Saris and Yakima sites as well for comparison.

I have an SUV and use a Swagman bike rack. It has nice features, the bike doesn't hang and the rack accomodates 2 bikes. The rack will fold down so that you can get into the back of your SUV. The rack also accomodates locks if you wish to take the bike somewhere & leave it. Here's a link:
