Budge car cover

DO NOT EVER buy a budge car cover. They are crap! The company, based out of Kentucky does not like to honor warranty issues with the cover.

I also got one from Walmart, but the Rainx one. It was on clearance for $50. Very happy with it.

Re: Budge car cover

Universal car covers always leave a lot to be desired. I bought one and within the first couple uses it was ripping at the seams.

Pony up the money and get a high quality, custom fit cover. Here's two nice ones:

Re: Budge car cover

I used to have a Wolk cover. Worked well for over 10 years.

I now have a Hugger Cover one. Perfect fit for the car and top quality.

Re: Budge car cover

I have a Wolf cover now, I don't recommend them, the cover I have is only 2 years old, and all 4 corners are ripped, the mirrors pockets are torn open and the tie down grommets have all fallen apart. The corner rips started happening after about a year of use, and have gotten progressively worse. Cost me a 150 bucks for the cover, not worth the money.
