Cover Size Calculator
Enter your car's length, width and height. The calculator gives the car cover size class, the cover length to look for, how much fabric drapes over the car and whether mirror pockets are worth having.

Measure with the mirrors folded out and include any roof bars or a spoiler.
Car covers are sized mainly by the car's length. Measure bumper to bumper. A 4.5 m (177 in) saloon takes a size L cover, about 4.6 to 4.8 m long. Height and width set how far the fabric drapes down the sides, so SUVs need a deeper cover than a saloon of the same length.

Frequently Asked Questions
No question matches that search.
What size car cover do I need?
Measure your car bumper to bumper and pick the cover class for that length.
How do I measure my car for a cover?
Measure length bumper to bumper, width mirror to mirror and height from the ground to the roof.
What happens if a car cover is too big?
It flaps in the wind, which can scuff the paint.
Do SUVs need a special cover?
Yes. Their height needs a deeper cover than a car of the same length.
Should a car cover be waterproof?
It should resist water but still breathe, so moisture can escape.
Do I need mirror pockets?
They help a cover sit snugly, especially on taller vehicles.
Can I use an outdoor cover indoors?
Yes, though an indoor cover is softer and lighter.
A cover that fits like it should
Size the cover from your car's measurements and it stays put, keeps the paint safe and lasts longer.
