The 10 Best Car Covers Strong Enough for Canadian Winters

The 10 covers featured in this list ensure your car remains shielded from the severe Canadian winter conditions. This not only aids in maintenance but also helps in keeping your car insurance premiums low.

Coverado Zipper Door Cover

Did you know that pulling a cover off your car can lead to scratches if you’re not careful? Therefore, it’s always nice to see a manufacturer take account of and get ahead of that potential issue. The Coverado has a clever zipper door built in so you can access your vehicle without removing the entire cover.

As for winter protection, it’s made using 190T polyester with a soft cotton backing. Your car stays warm and the cover’s waterproofing means snow and rain won’t be problems.

Holthly 10-Layer Cover

Available for every type of car, Holthly’s cover comes from a company with more than 20 years of experience. Its 10 layers include thick PE (ideal for waterproofing) and thickened cotton on the interior. Together, they prevent scratches when you slide the cover on and off your vehicle. It fits any vehicle from hatchbacks to trucks.

Dust, falling leaves and snow all slide off the cover’s built-in insulation. As a result, you don’t face a frosty welcome when you unfurl it at the end of winter.

GUNHYI All-Weather Car Cover

GUNHYI’s cover more than lives up to its claim of all-weather protection. UV rays, frost, rain and snow have no chance of penetrating it. With extra protection, even pollen and dust have a hard time getting through.

Coupes, sedans, SUVs, and even the four-door Jeep Wrangler all have variants of the cover available. Still, it would be nice to see a touch more tear resistance, as this is a slightly thinner cover compared to others on this list.

Ezyshade 10-Layer Car Cover

Available in many sizes (you can choose your specific vehicle size from a handy chart before ordering), Ezyshade’s cover uses machine-cut materials to achieve a perfect fit. And when we say materials, we mean that in the plural sense. Among the ten layers built into this cover are cotton, aluminum, PEVA, EVA, and Taffeta, which combine to resist ultraviolet (UV) rays and keep water at bay.

So, it’s a cover that’s just as effective for summer storage as it is for winter storage.

Oziral Six-Layer Car Cover

It may not have quite as many layers as Ezyshade’s cover (six versus 10), but there are few better options than the Oziral Siz-Layer Car Cover if you need cost-effective protection for your sedan. Dust, water, and UV rays are all kept out thanks to a combination of PEVA and cotton layers. Smartly, the cotton is on the cover’s inside, reducing the possibility of scratching when removed.

The inclusion of a storage bag is also a nice touch, though you might find it a touch on the small side.

NUOMAN 6-Layers Cover

Sedans, SUVs, and trucks are on the menu for the NUOMAN cover, as you get to choose between different shapes and fittings based on your vehicle type. Beyond that, it’s a simple cover that’s waterproof and UV-resistant thanks to its combo of cotton, acetate, polyethylene, vinyl, and aluminum layers.

Plus, it has a nice safety touch – reflective strips make the cover more visible at night.

Kayme Seven-Layer Ford Mustang Cover

Muscle up with Kayme’s Ford Mustang cover, which is designed for the specific curvature of the iconic vehicle with which it shares its name. Frost, snow, water, and UV rays have no chance thanks to its seven-layer construction, which incorporates vinyl and cotton to ensure full protection.

A 12-month warranty on the cover is a nice touch, even if this is a niche cover that only fits a specific type of vehicle. Plus, Kayme has several other covers (you can choose between them on its Amazon listing) for other vehicles.

Titan Universal Cover

Variety is the spice of life with Titan’s cover, both in terms of colour and vehicle compatibility. Though the cover itself isn’t universal in the sense that one cover is good for all cars, you can select from a range of covers for everything from hatchbacks to large SUVs.

Colour options are varied, too, with silver, black, and blue (often with reflective stripes) in the lineup. UV protection and insulation come thanks to an aluminum layer, and a polyurethane layer keeps water at bay.

Budge B-4 Budge Lite Cover

At 19 feet long, Budge’s near-universal cover is great for most compact cars and sedans, though it may struggle to fit over an SUV. Double stitching along the seams guarantees wind and winter weather won’t cause damage, and the elastic hem ensures a snug fit around the base.

The warranty is a major upside, too. You get three years of protection, which is exceptional given this is one of the cheapest car covers Canada offers.

Amazon Basics Silver Sedan Car Cover

It may be “Basic” by name, but Amazon’s sleek silver car cover has a lot going for it. That starts with a budget price and extends to a range of size options (160 to 225 inches). A combination of PEVA and waterproof cotton creates the weather resistance you need from a winter car cover. And thanks to the fitted design, it’s easy to install and remove.

That fitting comes with an obvious downside – this cover is only for sedans. Hatchback, SUV, and van owners must look elsewhere.
