The Hidden Cost of Weather Exposure Most vehicle owners do not realize how much damage everyday weather inflicts on their cars, trucks, and SUVs. It is not just the dramatic events — hailstorms and falling tree branches — that cause problems.

Industry data suggests that vehicles parked outdoors without coverage depreciate 10% to 15% faster than covered vehicles, primarily due to paint fading, interior deterioration, rubber seal degradation, and cosmetic damage.
