Anyone recommend a outdoor car cover that protects from rain and hail that won't break the bank?

I just use this for lawn equipment, but a C3 would fit inside easily. I'd suggest putting down a gravel floor, and adding a dehumidifier. I bought it during a special sale for half of the price at the link.

That would work but the HOA wouldn't go for that.

Cover Craft has been my go to cover brand for several years. Their UtraCover is warrantied for 4 years, and if the cover goes bad they will send you a new one. I also purchased the rope tie downs that I use when the wind gets over 10 mph. They usually have a sale going on, check their website.

Check Mid-America's "Typhoon" class cover. I've gone through three of them and would not get anything else for outdoor use.

They must be out of business or having site issues.

I have a SealSkin Car Cover and it lasted almost 10 years before they sent me a new one to replace the old unit. The SealSkin cover is really waterproof and has nice soft flannel inside the cover. My old one had some holes forming in it so they sent me out a brand new cover since it has a lifetime warranty.

This cover was sitting on my car in a car-port and it worked really well at protecting the car. The SealSkin is the best car cover I have ever spent money on. I would highly recommend them to others with nice cars.

The only drawback was they charged me $35 for the replacement cover shipping charges. This cover company actually honors their warranty....

This is a nice quality cover that will protect your car!
