What is an "oversized vehicle"?

Modified on Wed, 18 Jun at 3:06 PM

An oversized vehicle is generally defined as any vehicle 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, an oversized vehicle fee may apply.


This fee is sometimes included in your ParkWhiz booking, but often it is charged separately by the parking facility at the time of arrival.


Who decides if a vehicle is oversized?

The final call is made by the parking attendant on-site. While they may not physically measure your vehicle, they will assess based on its size and how much space it takes up. As a rule of thumb, if you're driving anything larger than a standard sedan, it's smart to be prepared for an additional charge.


Common examples of oversized vehicles

Note: this is not a full list, but these are commonly classified as oversized:

  • Jeep Grand Cherokee

  • Toyota Sienna or 4Runner

  • Nissan Pathfinder or Armada

  • Honda Odyssey or Pilot

  • Cadillac Escalade

  • Chevrolet Tahoe or Suburban

  • Dodge Caravan or Ram

  • Ford Expedition or Excursion

  • GMC Yukon

  • Hummer

  • Kia Sportage

  • Volkswagen Touareg


What is a super-sized vehicle?

Some locations also charge a higher rate for super-sized vehicles. These are even larger than standard oversized vehicles, and pricing varies by location. Super-sized parking may not be available for pre-purchase on ParkWhiz. If you believe your vehicle falls into this category, we recommend calling the parking location directly to confirm availability and pricing.
