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.
