A vehicle positioning apparatus capable of avoiding the elastic deformation of the tires or the development of histeresis in and around the legs allows a vehicle to be positioned with high accuracy. The apparatus includes two front wheel guide units 10 and two rear wheel guide units 20, each including a pair of guide members g1 and g2 with a predetermined length that extend in parallel while an interval is maintained between the guide members in accordance with the tire widths W1 and W2 of front wheels 51 and the rear wheels 52, respectively, of a vehicle 50 to be positioned. A correct position of the vehicle can be ensured as the vehicle travels along the wheel guide units with each of the tires restrained by each pair of guide members g1 and g2 on either side of the tire. The apparatus also includes a mechanism for adjusting each of the wheel guide units in accordance with die wheel tracks T1 and T2 of the vehicle 50, whereby various types of vehicles can be handled with a single apparatus.
