YES
Drive it home yourself
The box clears the opening and settles inside with room to spare. No favours owed, no hire fee, no second trip.
About Car Fit Check
Car Fit Check exists to answer one practical question with clarity: will this packaged item fit in this car? We focus on transparent logic and readable explanations, not opaque black-box outputs.
The question behind the question
Nobody wakes up wanting trunk measurements. What you actually want to know, standing in front of a flat-pack box you have decided to buy, is whether to ring your uncle and ask him to drive over with the big car, book a van for Saturday morning, or simply take the car already parked outside. That decision normally gets made in the car park, with the box paid for and the tailgate open, which is the worst possible moment to make it.
Cargo volume in litres will not answer it. A long panel either clears the opening or it does not, and the measurement that settles it is printed nowhere on the product page. That is the number we publish. When the answer is no, we say so plainly and name what is left: a bigger car, a van, two trips, or delivery. A wasted Saturday is worse than a boring verdict.
MAYBE
Your car, but plan it
Borderline. Fold the rear seats, load the hardest box first, and check the tightest point before you commit to the drive.
NO
Ring your uncle, or hire the van
It will not go in. A bigger car, a van, two trips or delivery is the honest answer, and it costs a lot less to know that now than in the car park.
What we value
Deterministic logic
Given the same inputs, the engine always returns the same output.
Transparent assumptions
Each page shows assumptions and limiting factors so users understand why the result is what it is.
Useful next steps
When fit is tight or fails, we surface practical tips and alternatives instead of dead ends.
Scope
Current catalog prioritizes IKEA packaged items and vehicles with complete export data. The platform is designed to expand to more retailers and vehicle sources over time.
Data sources
We combine packaged item dimensions (IKEA) with vehicle trunk opening and cargo limits from measurement sources. We publish only vehicles and items with complete core data.
Roadmap
- Expand IKEA catalog coverage (UK first)
- Add more vehicle sources and trims
- Improve alternatives and vehicle-specific loading tips
