A quality prefabricated carport, with built-in guttering system, will generally cost between $29 and $33 per square foot, including posts and concrete footers.
As an example, a professionally installed, 24' x 17' double-car carport should cost roughly $12,000.00.
If you want to go the DIY route, you can reasonably expect to spend $16-$17 per square foot, with an additional cost to install your posts and concrete footers. A good rule of thumb for post and footer cost is $250 per post.

Portable carports provide vehicle protection from hail, snow, blisstering snow and damaging UV rays. Consisting of an all steel frame "galvanized or powder coated steel" and covered with a canopy top made of "polyethylene" fabric material.
You might have seen these around the neighborhood being utilized for car, rv or boat storage. They come in a complete "do it yourself package" and cost around $350.00 on the low end, and can go up to several thousands. Depending on the size and quality of the portable carport brand.
