A picnic rug and a nice thick blanket do the job, and as a bonus you are always ready for a cosy picnic.

the vinyl wraps might save the paint but if the hail is hitting the glass just right it can crack it
and sometimes the weight is just too much and hail will leave dimples, if its exposed
you could also get a car cover that you could put on when its exposed, but for short term use that would be a pain
From what I've seen, hail rarely harms the paint at all before the point where it will leave dents.
There are inflatable car covers that can work, but ice never seen one in use. Everyone here accepts that you either leave the car in covered parking or you file an insurance claim when it gets too bad.
I don’t see anyway that an inflatable car cover will be at all practical. When it comes to hail your only other is park in a covered garage.
Park it under a bridge...
This is only a good idea if you live in a small town or if the road doesn't see much traffic, otherwise it is dangerous and illegal in some places.
Not the answer you’re looking for, but just take the damage accept the little mini dents on your ride. It makes it unique and one of a kind. Bonus if you make an insurance claim and just keep the $$$
Plus once you get enough dents it actually goes faster, much like a golf ball.
They're speed dents
Styrofoam and duct tape.
There's inflatable covers that supposedly do an ok job if the storm isn't too crazy.
