Default vehicle storage ~6 months

Hi,

I will be going out of town for around 6 months. I will not be taking my car with me. I am looking to park my car in a storage place. I am looking at uncovered or covered parking. Will it be ok to park in an uncovered parking space and put a car cover on? (I live in phoenix, so it is and will be really hot until september). Or should I get a covered parking, its twice as much as the uncovered. Is there anything else to take care of when leaving a car parked for a long period of time?

Thanks.

I would put stable in the gas, and dissconnect the battery (one
terminal). Cover it whether it is in a covered or uncovered
garage. A secure lock under the cover will help
keep casual lookers from lifting the cover.
