Interesting turn of events, and does anyone know of a decent cheap cover?

Welp, We rented our home to my fiance's son while we house hunt in Lakeland, FL. 3 hurricanes in 3 months last year south of Tampa was just too much(50k damage to the house, insurance gave us 38k), being 2.3 miles from the Gulf. The car is still in the garage at the house and we're camping in the 29' travel trailer.
But. I want the car here. There's ample parking on the rented lot but no cover.
Any recommendations on a cheap well fitting cover so it can sit under the oak tree and not get trashed? Its temporary, need it to last a couple months max. Requirement of the new home is a garage.

Side note: Its refreshing to live in the country vs the city as I dont hear sirens every damn 10 min. or worry about homeless trying to break into the 2 Toyotas. I -75 is about 7 miles west of me and I can faintly hear truck traffic(Florida is flat af). I did hear a bellowing alligator this evening, its mating season. Plus, being out in the sticks offers more opporrunity to stomp the loud pedal without repercussion. 🤣

Family bought about 5-6 (one for each car) of these in aluminum color about 4 years ago and they’ve been great. Showing some signs of use now, but can’t beat it for the price.
