Apartment Parking and Your Car: Hail Options

Apartment living usually means open parking and no garage. When hail rolls in, your car is fully exposed, and you may have nowhere better to move it.

Know your lot

Scout any covered or partially covered spots in your complex before you need them, even if they are first-come. A spot under a structure or beside a tall building can make a difference.

Have a backup plan

Nearby parking garages, even paid ones, are worth knowing about for severe-weather days. The cost of a few hours of covered parking is tiny next to a hail repair bill.

Carry your own protection

Because renters rarely control where they park, portable protection that goes on quickly is the most practical answer. It travels with you, no assigned garage required.

HailShield is a portable hail protection cover in development right now, built for the millions of vehicles that never see a garage.
