What is an "over-sized vehicle"?

Modified on Wed, 18 Jun at 3:08 PM

An oversized vehicle is any car, SUV, or van that is at least 180 inches long (15 feet 1 inch) or 70 inches high (5 feet 10 inches). If your vehicle meets or exceeds either of these dimensions, it may be subject to an oversized vehicle fee.


Some facilities include this fee in your rate at checkout, but many charge it separately when you arrive. This fee is set and collected by the parking location, not by BestParking.


Who decides if a vehicle is oversized?

The decision is made by the on-site parking attendant. While they may not take actual measurements, they’ll assess your vehicle based on size and how much space it takes up. If you're driving anything larger than a standard sedan, we recommend being prepared for an oversized charge just in case.


Common examples of oversized vehicles

The following vehicles are commonly considered oversized. This is not a complete list, but it should help give you a general idea:

  • Jeep Grand Cherokee

  • Toyota Sienna, 4Runner

  • Nissan Pathfinder, Armada

  • Honda Odyssey, Pilot

  • Cadillac Escalade

  • Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe

  • Dodge Caravan, Ram

  • Ford Expedition, Excursion

  • GMC Yukon

  • Hummer

  • Kia Sportage

  • Volkswagen Touareg


What about super-sized vehicles?

Some locations also charge more for super-sized vehicles, which are larger than standard oversized ones. These fees vary by location and are set by the parking operator. Super-sized parking is not always available to reserve in advance through BestParking. If you think your vehicle might fall into this category, it’s best to contact the location directly before booking.
