If you live in a two-car household and own one or more of the vehicles showcased on this Biggest Vehicles You Can Buy list<\/a> (or plan to purchase one), you’ve probably wondered: “Will I be able to fit both cars in a standard-sized, two-car garage?<\/em>“<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no “one size fits all” garage size. That makes answering the question, “What are the dimensions of a two-car garage?”<\/em> a little complicated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Factor in the other functions 2-car garages often serve–laundry room, workspace, hobby room, and\/or storage space (perfect for stashing those winter coats)<\/em>–calculating what size garage you need to fit both your vehicles (and the occasional load of laundry) becomes a more sizable task. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since each garage must meet its homeowner’s specific set of needs, guesstimating just won’t cut it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So whether you’re designing your dream garage or simply curious about your existing space, this is everything you need to know about garage dimensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(<\/em>Side Note:<\/em><\/strong> For those who already suspect a two-car garage will be a tight squeeze–but don’t want to front the cost of a three-car garage–we’ll offer tips and tricks on maximizing a two-car garage space, including parking best practices + storage solutions).<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standard 2-Car Garage Sizes<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The average width of a two-car garage is usually between 18 and 24 feet<\/strong>, while the standard depth ranges from 20 to 24 feet.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, some two-car garages are much larger, at 24×30 feet. The dimensions you choose will largely depend on the size of your vehicle and your additional storage requirements. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compact, mid-size, and full-size cars typically measure between 14 and 17 feet in length<\/strong> and 5.5 to 6.5 feet in width<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SUVs and minivans, on the other hand, range from 16 to 18 feet in length and 6 to 7 feet in width<\/strong>. Knowing the exact dimensions of your car will help you determine the appropriate garage size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If want to allocate extra space in your garage for workshops, storage, etc., air on the larger side. Be sure to reserve space around the garage’s perimeter, so you can easily exit and enter your vehicles and repurpose the space into storage for for your belongings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
