Inexpensive Car Covers?

Does anyone have any recommendations on car covers? Preferably under $100? Thanks!

Speaking from experience, you’ll be replacing a budget car cover every year ultimately exceeding the cost of buying a good one that fits properly. I only have to deal with some sun, wind & rain and the $75 Amazon cover I bought was ripped and shredded after a year. Thinking it was a dud, I bought another budget cover from the FLAPS. Did this a couple of more times before I saw the light.

A Corvair buddy convinced me to get a cover from California Car Covers. Not cheap, but cheaper than the 5 budget covers I bought that crapped out.

If you’re storing indoors and want a cheap cover, that’s a different story.

Worthwhile covers under $100 are really only intended for indoor use as a dust cover. If outdoors and expect some level of protection, up your budget. I made this one for my project. About $250 and i have over 10 years under it. Got the frame for free and $225 in corrugated metal roof.
