Hail Protection Covers, Best selling in Australia

All good car covers have an outer protective fabric and an inner soft-plush fabric to ensure the paintwork is protected. These covers are no different. However, between these 2 layers on the top of the car covers, there is a third layer of 6mm thick compressed polyester. It is this layer that protects your car from hailstones, even relatively large hail.

Hail Storms - Keep Your Car Covered

In a hailstone storm, the very strong winds which often accompany the storm mean that the hailstones don't drop vertically from the sky - in the worst of storms they seem to be coming down from the side - horizontally!

The Premium and Ultimate Hail Covers will protect your side windows as the 6mm compressed polyester comes down the side and over the windows. 

The all-weather protection offered by these covers will protect your vehicle from all the Australian climate can throw at you! Rain-proof protects from the sun with UV protection, and protects against dirt bumps and scratches.

Our recommendation: For most Australian drivers, the Premium Hail Proof Car Cover gives the best balance of protection and value. If your car is parked outside full-time in a storm-prone area, step up to the Ultimate Hail Protection Cover.

Hail Blanket for Car vs Padded Hail Cover: What's the Difference?

Many people search for a "hail blanket for car" when they need fast protection before a storm arrives. There are two main types of hail car protector, and each suits a different situation.

Padded hail covers use a thick compressed polyester layer sewn into the cover. They're ready the moment you put them on, and you can leave them on the car every day. They're ideal if you park outdoors at home or work.

Inflatable hail blankets such as Hail Armour pack down small and live in your boot. When a storm warning comes through, you lay the blanket over the car and inflate it. The air cushion absorbs the impact of falling hail. They're ideal if you're often parked away from home: at the shops, the train station, or on holiday.

Can't decide? Many customers keep a padded hail proof car cover at home and a Hail Armour in the boot, so the car is protected wherever it's parked.

What to Look for in a Hail Proof Car Cover

Not every car cover advertised for hail actually stops hail damage. Before you buy, check for these features:

1. Real impact padding. A standard waterproof cover won't stop hailstones. Look for a dedicated padding layer, not just thicker fabric.
2. Side window coverage. Storm winds drive hail in at an angle, so side glass is often what breaks. Choose a hail protector car cover with padding that extends down the sides, like the Premium or Ultimate.
3. Correct fit. A loose cover flaps in strong wind and can lift off mid-storm. Use our best-fit car cover guide to choose the right size for your vehicle.
4. Secure tie-downs. Underbody straps and elastic hems keep the cover on in the gusts that come with hailstorms.
5. Breathability. Vents stop condensation getting trapped against your paint after rain.
6. Soft inner lining. This prevents scratches and swirl marks on the paint.
7. Warranty and local support. Buy from an Australian supplier who can help with sizing and warranty claims. Contact our team anytime.

How to Fit Your Hail Cover Before a Storm

A hail cover only works if it's on before the storm arrives. Follow these steps for the best protection:

1. Watch the warnings. Check Bureau of Meteorology severe thunderstorm warnings for your area during storm season.
2. Fold in or remove the aerial, and fold in the mirrors if your cover doesn't have mirror pockets.
3. Start at the front. Hook the elastic hem under the front bumper, then roll the cover back over the roof to the rear.
4. Pull the sides down so the padded panels sit over the side windows.
5. Fasten every strap under the car, pulled firm but not over-tight.
6. After the storm, let the cover dry fully before you pack it away.

When Is Hail Season in Australia?

Most of Australia's damaging hailstorms happen in the warmer months. They usually run from late spring through summer, roughly October to March, with spring often bringing the most severe storms. South-east Queensland, Sydney and the NSW east coast, Canberra and Melbourne all see regular damaging hail. A large storm can damage thousands of vehicles in a single afternoon.

A car hail cover costs a fraction of the excess on a hail damage insurance claim, and much less than the time your car would spend at the repairer. If you don't have a garage or carport, a hail protection car cover is one of the simplest ways to protect your car through storm season.

Hail Car Cover FAQs

Will a hail car cover stop all hail damage?

A padded hail car cover protects against most common hail. Extremely large hail can still cause damage, so in the most severe storms combine a cover with undercover parking where possible.

Can I use a hail cover on a wet car?

Yes, the cover won't hurt the car. Remove it once the weather clears, though, so the paint can dry properly.

Are hail covers for cars waterproof?

Yes. Our hail covers have a waterproof outer fabric, so they also protect against rain, UV and dust between storms.

What size hail cover do I need for a hatchback?

Most hatchbacks fit our smaller sedan sizes. See our hail cover for hatchbacks and utes guide, or send us your make and model and we'll match it for you.

Is a hail blanket for car better than a carport?

A carport gives permanent cover, but it can't move with you. A hail blanket protects your car wherever it's parked. Many owners use both.

How long do hail proof car covers last?

With regular cleaning and dry storage, a quality hail proof car cover lasts several seasons. All our covers carry a 1-year warranty.
