Fat Cars and Small Parking Bays
An increasing number of motorists are complaining that car parking spaces, in various car parks, are simply too small. Is this really the cause of the problem or is the issue really that people are driving increasingly large vehicles?
The largest operator of public car parks in the United Kingdom, Park Rite, say that the dimensions of parking spaces need to relate to the vehicles that the space is intended for. Their current standard recommends that parking bays are 2.4m wide and 4.8m long. But many of todays popular vehicles will only just fit into this space leaving no room for doors to be opened easily.
Some car park operators have been accused of puposely making their parking spaces narrower in order to squeeze more cars into their lots and make more money. Some of the worst offenders are reported to be certain hospital car parks, some supermarkets and some long-stay airport parking lots. We’ve heard reports of people returning from trips abroad and finding that they are unable to open the drivers door due to the adjacent vehicle being parked so close.
Is the problem due to the size of parking spaces or is it due to the increase in the size of popular cars? A typical and popular 4 wheel drive vehicle is the Toyota Rav4. This has a width of 1.815m, not including its mirrors. If we allow only 35cm for the size of the wing mirrors this brings the width up to 1.85m. In a parking bay of 2.4m in width which would leave only 0.55m or 0.275m on each side. Clearly a bit of squeeze when opening the doors and getting in and out of the car.
Narrow parking spaces is a significant problem for many cars that have long side doors, like many of todays 3 door models. The popular Renault Clio 3 Door, for example, has a width, including mirrors, of 2.025m. In a standard 2.4m parking space this would provide only 0.375m or only about 0.19m each side in which to open the side doors and get into our out of the car.
The only option available to motorists is to complain to the car park operators and ask for larger parking bays that can accommodate wider vehicles.

Top Tip: Make the most of your trip by spending a night in an airport hotel before your flight. And why not enjoy the hospitality of an airport lounge before you fly.
