When you are about to purchase a car cover, you may want to know the different types available in the market, so that you can decide which one would suit you the best. There are various types of car covers based on the requirements of the car owner.

Here are tips before buying a car cover on how you can choose a car cover based on its type:

Universal car covers

• These are the standard car covers that you can find in abundance.
• They have no specific property or feature, and they serve to provide basic protection to your car.
• They work against wind, hail, rain, snow, sunlight, bird droppings, insects, and other small threats to your car.
• They are much cheaper than custom-fit covers.
• They still provide great protection.
• Make sure the size of this cover is close to your car size to obtain maximum efficiency.
• You can use buckles to tighten it if it gets too loose.

Custom-fit car covers

• These car covers are designed to hug your car, embracing every dent, contour, and bump in your car.
• This enables maximum protection and coverage your car can get.
• However, these are slightly costly. When you decide on a budget, you can easily narrow down your options.
• You need to know the exact make, model, body type, and trim of your car when ordering this cover. You may also need to know the year of manufacture.
• Decide what type of cover you need. You can choose among water-resistant, reflective car cover (against sunlight and UV rays), etc.
• Compare with other custom-made covers and read all the product details to choose the best-suited one.
• Custom covers cannot be returned, so make sure to contact the retailer and clear all queries before the order is placed.
• Coverking and Covercraft are the most famous car cover brands in the country.

Indoor car covers

• These covers are purchased for cars that are parked indoors, like in a garage, basement, etc. These covers are much lighter than outdoor covers as well.
• When looking for a car cover for these cars, you need not worry about your car getting damaged by sunlight, random scratches, wind, rain, and bird droppings.
• Nevertheless, you may require a car cover to protect your car against moisture build-up, especially in humid environments and against dust.
• If you leave your car outside just as much as you do inside, you can simply use an outdoor cover when parked inside as well. However, using an indoor cover on a car parked outside will be of little-to-no use since indoor covers are much lighter, breathable, and less protective.

Outdoor car covers

• Outdoor covers are used to cover your car when it is parked outside.
• The outer environment can put up huge challenges against maintaining the condition of your car.
• There are factors like sunlight, bird droppings, humidity, dust, abrasion, physical damage, etc.
• Outdoor car covers are tough, water-resistant, reflective, and robust.
• You can use a car umbrella too. These work efficiently against weather hazards and sunlight.
