How to Protect Your Vehicle During a Hurricane

Not all vehicles have the ability to drive through up to 30 inches of moving water like the Jeep Gladiator can after all. If you have to drive during a hurricane, your best bet is to avoid driving through water that you don't know the exact depth of. A miscalculation can result in a stalled engine or even your vehicle becoming permanently undriveable. Even slow moving or standing water can be deceivingly deep. Instead, keep to roads that you know and be prepared to take detours.

1.Fill up the gas tank. This is important in case you find yourself needing to evacuate, or if the gas stations are out of commission post-storm.
2.Remove any important documents and personal belongings from inside your vehicle.
3.Set the hand brake to brace the vehicle.
4.Tightly close and lock all the vehicle doors and windows.
5.Seal edges with tape for added protection, but avoid using anything too strong as it could damage the paint or interior.
6.Cover glass and lights with foam and tape to protect them from debris. Make sure the tape is not too strong to avoid it damaging your paint.
7.Use a car cover and double up where possible.
