Sure. You can buy liability insurance on the car but I doubt if the insurance company would sell you a policy with physical damage coverage. Most insurance companies would require you to have the vehicle repaired before allowing you to have physical damage coverage. You would have to have it inspected and photographed by the agent. As long as you have comprehensive coverage, most auto insurance companies would cover for hail damage. However, check your policy to make sure that there's hail damage is not excluded. Be prepared for hikes in premiums though; when an area has a lot of claims, the rates there tend to rise.
A car is generally more susceptible to hail damage when parked, as it has no mobility to evade the hail. When driving, the speed can help reduce the impact of hail, as the vehicle moves through the storm rather than remaining stationary. However, if the hail is particularly large or the storm is severe, even a moving vehicle can sustain damage. Overall, parked cars are usually at a higher risk for significant hail damage.

One can avoid hail damage to one's car by parking it in a garage. Hail stones are usually small but can be as large as a golf ball or even larger. In areas prone to large hail stones, roofs are usually covered with materials that do not shatter, which avoids a lot of expensive damage.

Hail Storms can bring a ton of damage to homes, and especially those vulnerable rooftop air conditioning units. In Dallas, I have seen softball size hail that will damage air conditioners badly. If the hail hits in the right spot right on the vulnerable fan vents, it can break through and damage the fans and any other internal components. So it really depends on the size and severity of the storm to determine how much damage the hail can really do. Also something to keep in mind if you notice hail damage to your AC unit is that your roof may also have sustained damage during the onslaught. I would have both inspected especially if there is visible damage.
