Abstract: A portable, expandable protective vehicle cover comprising: a base, the base is sized to support a vehicle thereon and having a substantially flat upper surface; a canopy, the canopy is supported by a telescoping frame, the telescoping frame comprises a plurality of U-shaped ribs extending along outer edges of the base; and a drive structure, the drive structure is positioned along a horizontal central axis parallel to the flat upper surface within the base. A rotating rod is operatively connected to the drive structure, ends of the telescoping frame are pivotally connected to opposing edges on the rotating rod. The drive structure provides power to turn the rotating rod to extend the telescoping frame to open and closed positions thereby opening and closing the canopy and allowing a vehicle positioned on the base to be covered by the canopy.
