# Covered car storage

Covered parking is a carport-style spot in a fenced lot. The roof keeps snow, ice, hail and direct sun off the car, so there is nothing to shovel in spring. The cold and wind still get in. Send your details and we find covered spots near you.

## Between outdoor and indoor

Covered spots start at $90/month, between outdoor ($65/month) and indoor ($110/month).

They are common in Alberta, the Prairies and the edges of big cities, where land is cheaper. Downtown, covered parking is often the top level of a parking garage.

A breathable car cover still helps with blowing snow and dust.

## Covered parking questions

**Is covered parking good enough for a winter?**

For a modern car with a battery plan, usually yes. For a classic or a car with a soft top, indoor or heated is better.

**Can I plug in a battery tender?**

Some covered lots have power at each spot, many do not. Ask, or take the battery home.
