Check more than length and width. Compare the door opening, mirrors, roof height, internal space, shelving and useful access clearance before you buy.
Choose from 244 UK-focused vehicle references or enter your exact dimensions. The calculator separates the garage-door opening from the space inside, because a car can fit inside a garage but still fail at the entrance.
Use manufacturer data as a starting point, then confirm your exact car.
Measure the narrowest and lowest usable points, not just the nominal opening.
Enter the garage once and compare several commonly searched UK vehicles. Reference dimensions can vary by model year, trim and accessories.

Indicative comparison only. Some vehicles may require mirrors to be folded for narrower entrances.
The useful question is whether the car can enter, park and still be practical to live with.
The entrance may be the tightest point. Check extended and folded mirrors separately from the car body.
Shelving, pillars, freezers and stored items reduce the width and depth that your car can actually use.
A car can physically fit yet leave too little space to open the driver's door or reach the boot comfortably.
Modern vehicles can be substantially wider at the mirrors than at the body. Garage door frames can also be narrower than the internal room, while door mechanisms, pipes and storage can reduce usable height or depth. That is why the calculator treats the entrance and the internal garage as separate checks.
For the most reliable result, measure the narrowest clear door width, the lowest obstruction above the entrance, the usable wall-to-wall width at vehicle height and the usable depth with the door fully closed.
Read the measuring guide Compare car generationsStart with a model-specific guide for its reference dimensions and likely garage pinch points, then run the full calculator with that vehicle preloaded.
Garage-fit results are calculated from the measurements shown on screen. Unknown mirror widths are not guessed, and every reference vehicle has a source.
Search by make, model and generation, with exact manual entry always available.
See how entrance, internal width, height and obstruction clearances are calculated.
No dealer ranking or sponsored vehicle changes the calculator result.
Yes for the entrance unless you plan to fold the mirrors before entering. Internal parking space is usually better compared with body width.
A few millimetres of positive clearance can be technically enough but impractical for daily use. The result flags limited clearances rather than treating every positive number as equally usable.
No. Reference values are a convenience only. Model year, trim, tyres, mirrors, roof rails and accessories can change dimensions. Always confirm the exact vehicle specification.
