Does renters insurance cover hail damage to my car?

My town doesn’t get a lot of harsh winter weather, but there’s a big storm coming this weekend and I don’t have a garage. Does my renters insurance policy cover hail damage to my car?

Stay warm this weekend! Unfortunately, renters insurance does not cover hail damage to a car, even if the car is parked on rental property.
Renters insurance
provides excellent coverage for your personal property against perils and losses. Unfortunately, your car is not included under “personal property”.
What your renters insurance can cover is your personal belongings inside the car. If your belongings inside your car are damaged from a storm or break-in, then your renters insurance should cover them.
For any damage to your car itself, you will need to file a claim with your
car insurance
company. You’ll need
comprehensive coverage
to have coverage for any hail damage to your vehicle.
