Measure Your Car's Dimensions

Before selecting a storage unit, it's important to know your car's exact dimensions. Car manufacturers typically provide length, width, and height specifications, which you can find in the owner's manual or on their website. Here's a quick guide to general car sizes:

  • Compact Cars: Approximately 4m in length and 1.5-1.6m in width.
  • Sedans: Typically measure around 4.5m long and 1.7-1.8m wide.
  • SUVS and Trucks: Range from 5m to 5.5m in length and about 1.8-1.9m wide.
  • Classic and Vintage Cars: Sizes vary but generally fit within the sedan or SUV category.
