Understanding Your Car's Dimensions:
Before diving into unit sizes, consider your car's dimensions. Most car manufacturers list the length, width, and height of their vehicles on their websites or in owner's manuals. Cars come in various sizes, from compact cars to larger SUVs and trucks. Here are some general size guidelines:
- Compact Cars:These typically measure around 4m long and 1.5 to 1.6m wide.
- Sedans:Standard sedans are usually about 4.5m long and 1.7 to 1.8m wide.
- SUVs and Trucks:These vehicles can range from 5 to 5.5m long and about 1.8 to 1.9m wide.
- Classic and Vintage Cars:These vary widely in size but usually fit within the sedan or SUV range.

Factors to Consider while choosing car storage
When choosing a storage unit for your car, consider the following factors to ensure you select the right size:
- Extra Space for Accessibility: If you need to access your car frequently or want to store additional items around it, opt for a slightly larger unit to allow for easier movement and access.
