A better alternative to covers I think are sunshades to protect the interior from UV damage (off topic) are a must. But my car has been on my drive without a cover for 15 years and the paint is in good condition thanks to regular treatment and washing. I also lubricate all the rubber trims with proper treatment, not rubber dressing products (e.g. Liqui Moly https://amzn.eu/d/2razil0) which has kept them dark and supple.Many people on here are very against outdoor covers, saying that any grit inside the cover will scratch the paintwork over time, with weather, etc. Also moisture will sit inside, rather than drying out on fair weather days. I have no personal experience of them.

And of course, keep all the drainage channels clear as discussed here already.
