Frequently Asked Questions About Car Covers
Q: How do I choose the right fabric type for my car cover?
A: Start by determining whether you need an indoor or outdoor car cover.
Indoor car covers are made of a soft, satin-stretch material and are recommended for vehicles primarily stored inside, such as in a garage, shed, or storage facility, or for vintage or classic cars. Indoor car covers are the most affordable option to protect a vehicle's paint from dust and accidental scratches during long-term storage. Shop Coverworld Indoor Car Covers. Alternatively, we also stock a showroom spec Satin Reveal Car Cover for new car vehicle presentations.
Whereas Outdoor vehicle covers are made from heavy-duty fabrics to protect your vehicle from UV, Rain, Hail, Acid Rain, Scratches, Bird Droppings & more. Although there are many types of outdoor car covers available in Australia, you should consider which one is best for you, based on your specific concerns ( UV protection / Hail protection / Acid Rain & Acidic Droppings protection,n etc).
Q: What type of Outdoor car covers are available for my vehicle?
A: Coverworld offers four styles of outdoor car covers. We offer UV protection vehicle covers, hail protection vehicle covers, and 100% waterproof car covers. We also offer a general outdoor car cover for all-purpose exterior car protection concerns. We've listed bullet points for each style of cover below, but we recommend looking at the detailed description of each style of car cover for more information.

Q: What is a breathable car cover, and why is it important?
A: A breathable car cover allows moisture to escape, reducing the risk of condensation buildup that can lead to mould, mildew, or rust. Our Premium Outdoor Car Covers are made of a heavy-duty Polyester fabric that is breathable and designed to minimise these issues, making them ideal for long-term outdoor storage. Meanwhile, the alternative, the StormGuard 100% Waterproof Outdoor Car Cover, is not breathable. This makes it difficult for any moisture that makes its way underneath the cover ( which can happen through rain splashback, condensation, cover seams or otherwise ) to escape. Because of this, we recommend periodically removing the cover every 3-4 weeks to allow for air circulation, particularly in humid environments.
Q: Do I need separate indoor and outdoor vehicle covers?
A: Not necessarily; our outdoor car cover is designed for outdoor conditions and can effectively protect against sun, UV rays, rain, and debris. But also serve well indoors by protecting against scratches and dust accumulation. Whereas our indoor car covers are not recommended for outdoor use.
Q: What is a Semi Custom Fit Car Cover?
A: Semi-custom fit car covers are designed to match the body shape of your vehicle: Sedan, Hatch, SUV, Ute. The covers are then sized incrementally to suit different lengths of vehicles. E.g. Coverworlds Premium Outdoor SUV Car Cover is available in 5 different sizes for all SUV / hatchback-shaped vehicles between 420cm and 570cm. Coverworld's semi-custom fit automotive covers also include additional securing straps and elasticated hems to ensure the cover offers a snug and protective fit for your vehicle.
Q: I just bought a new car; should I get a car cover? and which car cover do you recommend?
A: Car covers are essential for protecting your vehicle and preserving the quality of its paint, which significantly contributes to maintaining its resale value, which is important for any new or used car in Australia. Vehicle covers provide a robust barrier against harmful elements, including UV rays, rain, snow, dust, dirt, scratches, acidic tree sap, bird droppings, and acid rain, ensuring your car remains in pristine condition ( and means you have to spend less time cleaning your car ! )
Moreover, car covers serve as a deterrent against theft and vandalism, offering an extra layer of security. By reducing the risk of damage and theft, using a car cover can potentially save you money on your car insurance premiums, making it a wise investment for any car owner.
This is why it's important to shop around to find the best car cover to protect your vehicle.

Q: Can I use this cover while my vehicle is being towed?
A: Yes, this cover is suitable for protecting vehicles during transport. We recommend utilising the provided tie-down straps to securely fasten the cover ( and even using additional tie-down straps ) to prevent any potential damage to the cover or vehicle from wind flapping.
Q: What do I need to know for long-term vehicle storage?
A: We highly recommend storing your car for long periods of time with a breathable outdoor car cover and using a fuel stabiliser. Especially if the vehicle will be in storage for over a month. Using a fuel stabiliser helps keep the fuel fresh and prevents the corrosion that can occur from stale petrol, avoiding costly repairs down the line.
Q: Is this outdoor weather cover easy to install?
A: Yes, our car covers are designed for easy installation and come with a complimentary storage bag for convenience. Please refer to our car cover installation guide for comprehensive instructions.
