CarRuler
Compare car sizes, check garage fit, and calculate driving costs by state
A free tool to compare car dimensions at true scale, check if a vehicle fits your garage, and estimate yearly fuel or charging costs based on your state.
About the business

CarRuler is a free web-based tool that helps buyers make informed car purchase decisions by answering two key questions: will the car fit, and what will it cost to drive?
The site provides exact car dimensions from manufacturer specifications cross-checked against US government crash-test data, displayed at true scale so users can accurately compare vehicle sizes. Users can overlay two cars to see length and height differences in inches, check if a specific car will fit their garage with room to walk and open doors, and calculate yearly fuel or charging costs for gas, hybrid, plug-in, and electric vehicles based on EPA data and their state's energy prices.
CarRuler remains independent and free, supported by advertising that does not affect the accuracy of data or rankings. The site includes browseable dimensions by make and body type, along with specialized tools like a towing calculator and rankings such as the most fuel-efficient SUVs.
