What are the methods to protect cars from hail in open-air parking?
1 Answers
Cars parked in open-air areas can be parked under eaves. Although this cannot guarantee 100% protection from hail, it can at least provide some level of protection. Alternatively, you can purchase car covers, freestanding canopies, or foldable garages, which can effectively protect the car during hailstorms. If hail strikes suddenly and there's no time to buy a car cover or foldable garage, you can cover the car with a thick quilt. However, remember to tie the quilt with ropes to prevent it from being blown away by the wind. If you encounter hail while driving, be sure to slow down. Reducing speed helps avoid panic-induced traffic accidents and minimizes the impact of hail on the car, as the faster the car moves, the greater the force of the hail's impact. It's best to find a safe place to park and wait for the hail to stop, but avoid parking under trees to prevent branches from falling and damaging the car. If your car is damaged by hail, you can file a claim with your insurance company. Vehicle damage insurance covers natural disasters, but not earthquakes.
