How to choose Car, SUV & Truck Covers
Measure your vehicle's overall length first, because these covers are sized by maximum length, not by make and model. The 20 reviews here, all from Leader Accessories, are 7 sedan covers, 6 for SUVs, 5 for pickup trucks and 2 for hatchbacks, priced from $29.99 to $89.99. Five sedan covers list sizes up to 185, 205 and 228 inches, the Armor All sedan cover lists 175, 203 and 228, and the Basic Guard lists six sizes from 157 to 264. SUV covers list up to 187 and 206 inches plus a largest size of 229, 230 or 240; pickup covers come in two sizes reaching 250 inches at most (T2 for 211 to 240 and T3 for 241 to 250 on three of them); both hatchback covers stop at 175 inches.
The listings document the shell very unevenly. Materials include polypropylene, HYVEK (a polyethylene fabric the listings call waterproof and breathable), Alumisoft with a carbon fiber look and, on the two Ultimate Plus covers, a 4-layer aluminum top over 5-layer breathable sides. The sedan Ultimate Plus claims up to 95% sunlight reflection, a figure our review notes is the store's own, backed only by an SGS UV treatment test. The $29.99 Season Guard Basic is one polypropylene layer meant for garage storage and light outdoor use. The Armor All sedan and SUV covers give no layer count or fabric weight, and the name is licensed to several makers, so specs vary by seller. Three SUV listings contradict themselves on the largest size, 230 inches in one place and 240 in another, so measure rather than rely on the example vehicles.
Every review of this type comes from one store, Leader Accessories, so the terms are shared. It ships only within the 48 continental US. Orders of $70 or more ship free and smaller ones pay a flat $10, which matters because 8 of the 20 covers cost $69.99, one cent under the line. Processing takes 1 to 2 business days and transit 2 to 6. Returns are accepted within 30 days, with a prepaid label only for defective, wrong or incomplete items; a change of mind is at your cost, and exchanges are possible within 24 hours of ordering, before the item ships. Sale items and gift cards cannot be returned, and 12 of the 20 reviews flag the cover as discounted. Only the $79.99 SUV cover states a warranty (1 year); five reviews note that none is stated.
Look elsewhere if you are outside the 48 states, want a documented warranty or want a pattern cut for your exact model: none of these covers is model-specific. Our review of the Armor All SUV cover points to Classic Accessories' OverDrive PolyPro 1 at about $91 to $101 with a 2-year limited warranty, and to Covercraft's custom-pattern covers from about $179. Two of the 20, the Basic Guard sedan cover and the 5-layer gray truck cover, were listed out of stock at the last check.

Questions before you buy
How do I choose the right size car cover?
Measure your vehicle's overall length and pick the size whose maximum covers it; these listings size by length only, not by model. Several advise sizing up for roof racks, a spare tire, aftermarket bumpers or spoilers. Sedan covers list up to 185, 205 or 228 inches, SUV covers up to 187, 206 or 230 to 240, hatchbacks up to 175 and pickups 211 to 250. Some listings conflict on the largest SUV size (230 against 240 inches), so measure before ordering.
How are these covers kept on in wind?
By straps and hems. The $79.99 SUV cover lists a 6-point system of four corner straps plus a 360-degree elastic hem, the HYVEK and carbon fiber truck covers 4-corner hook-and-loop straps plus center straps, and the two Ultimate Plus covers add 23 feet of extra tie-down strap. The Armor All sedan and SUV covers add security grommets for a cable and lock, sold separately, and one review notes that the straps are not a locking system.
Do these car covers come with a warranty?
Only one does: the $79.99 all-weather SUV cover lists a 1-year warranty. Five reviews note that no warranty is stated and the other listings are silent on it. Our Armor All SUV review points out that Classic Accessories' OverDrive PolyPro 1, at about $91 to $101, lists a 2-year limited warranty. Ask Leader Accessories before buying if coverage matters to you.
Can I return a car cover to Leader Accessories?
Within 30 days. Defective, wrong or incomplete items get a prepaid return label; if you change your mind you pay the return shipping. Exchanges are possible within 24 hours of ordering, before the item ships. Sale items and gift cards are excluded from returns, and 12 of the 20 reviews flag the cover as discounted, so check the price shown before you count on returning it.
Do car covers priced at $69.99 ship free?
Not on their own. Leader Accessories ships free on orders of $70 or more and charges a flat $10 below that, so the eight covers priced at $69.99 fall one cent short. Processing takes 1 to 2 business days and transit 2 to 6. It ships only within the 48 continental US, with no Alaska, Hawaii, PO boxes, APO/FPO or international addresses.
What size cover does a pickup truck need?
Pickup covers here come in two sizes. Three covers at $89.99 (two HYVEK, one carbon fiber) list T2 for 211 to 240 inches and T3 for 241 to 250; the Armor All truck cover at $79.99 lists up to 232 or up to 250 and names extended, double and crew cab styles; the 5-layer gray cover at $59.99 lists up to 232 or 249 and was out of stock at the last check.
