The invention relates to a vehicle washing system (1) having a conveying device for transporting vehicles (2, 3) to be washed in a conveying direction (4) along a plurality of treatment devices (11'-14'), wherein at least two of the treatment devices (11'-14') for washing the front faces, rear faces and side faces of the vehicles (2, 3) are oriented vertically, and a method for washing vehicles (2, 3) which are conveyed one behind the other in the conveying direction (4) through the vehicle washing system (1). The invention solves the problem of reducing the mechanical loading on the individual parts of the vehicle washing system and of permitting more uniform and faster washing of the vehicles in the washing system, with a vehicle washing system in which the treatment devices (11'-14') which are oriented vertically are arranged both in the conveying direction (4) and transversely with respect to the conveying direction (4) such that they can be moved independently of one another over the width of the vehicles (2, 3) to be washed, and a method in which each vertical treatment device (11'-14') passes through, when viewed from above, a closed movement path (18; 26) in just one movement direction (25; 27).
