Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing hail protection, and, more particularly, to methods, systems, and apparatuses for implementing vehicle hail protection. In some aspects, a device can provide protection for a vehicle and its occupants during a hailstorm. The device might be generally ovoid or elliptical and flat or (slightly) convex in shape, comprising single (or multiple) distinct airtight compartments (or layers) that can each inflate separately. The device might be fabricated from a relatively light, airtight, and waterproof material. When protection from hailstone is needed, the device can be quickly placed over the top of the vehicle, secured, then inflated with an air pump that plugs into a vehicle's cigarette lighter socket, USB port, or electrical outlet, or the like. Once inflated, the device is ready to provide an air-cushion barrier against falling hailstone. The device may be attached to a vehicle utilizing several straps.
