Standard car covers are ready made covers available at various locations. These car covers will fit certain models or sizes.

As far as price goes, these covers are generally cheaper than a custom cover however, you may find it is comparable to the old saying, "You get what you pay for".

Custom car covers are made to fit a particular vehicle, generally specially made, thus the name custom. You can order custom car covers from the dealership that you purchased your car from. If you are unable to order a custom car cover from the dealership, call the manufacturer of your vehicle and they should be able to assist you.
