A little more about us…

With more large cars and SUVs on the roads than ever before, the need to check car size against parking spaces growing. Or, maybe you just want to compare different car sizes and see what they’ll be like to live with every day. Parkadoo gives you instant answers, so you’ll never have to second-guess whether your car will fit again!

We built Parkadoo for drivers who have:

  • Struggled with tight parking spaces

  • Worried their car is too wide for car parks

  • Considered buying a big car but weren’t sure it would fit

  • Simply want to compare different car sizes
  • Had to squeeze out of their door with gymnastic-level skills

FAQs – because we know you’re wondering…

What’s the size of a standard UK parking space?2025-03-18T11:27:16+00:00

Most parking bays in the UK are 2.4m wide by 4.8m long.

What about disabled parking bays?2025-03-18T11:33:07+00:00

Disabled bays are typically 3.6m wide, giving you more space for accessibility.

Can I compare different car sizes?2025-04-01T12:38:51+00:00

Absolutely! See how different models stack up side by side – try it now.

Does Parkadoo check electric vehicles?2025-03-18T11:34:01+00:00

Yep! EVs can be longer, wider, or have a different turning radius due to battery placement. We take all that into account!

What if my car is wider than the parking bay?2025-03-18T11:34:15+00:00

If your car is wider than 2.4m, you’ll be pushing the limits! Some multi-storey car parks or tight spaces might be tricky.

What happens if my car is too long for the space?2025-03-18T11:34:29+00:00

If your car is longer than 4.8m, expect a bit of overhang! This might not be an issue in open parking areas, but in tight car parks, it could be a problem.

What should I do if my parked car gets damaged?2025-03-18T11:34:51+00:00

Check for CCTV, leave a note if you hit someone else’s car (it’s the law!), and report any damage to your insurance provider.

Does Parkadoo check SUVs?2025-04-01T12:39:18+00:00

Yep! SUVs can be longer, wider, or have different turning circles. We take all that into account too!

Where does Parkadoo get its information, and is it accurate?2025-04-01T12:39:41+00:00

We use vehicle manufacturers data, which typically represents standard model sizes and minimum turning circles. The data we use generally does not take into account things like speed or slippery surfaces that could make turning circles wider or any modifications that would make vehicles larger.

My car, or the car I’d like to check, isn’t listed2025-04-01T12:40:23+00:00

We list as many popular vehicles as possible, whenever the required information is available. You can request that additional vehicles be added here.

Why do some cars not show a turning radius?2025-04-01T12:40:40+00:00

Some manufacturers don’t share turning circle information publicly, but we list it whenever we can.

Will my car fit in a parking space?2025-04-01T12:41:21+00:00
