The garage is full of "stuff" so that's not really an option.
It's a double-wide drive so a normal car porch would be difficult (has
anyone succeeded with a cantilevered car porch?)

I don't really want to resort to car covers because I can't see me using
them every time. Any suggestions of how to dissuade the critters or
shield the cars?

Help!

Run stainless steel clotheslines across the drive and put a cover over
them.

Strangely, that's exactly what I thought of last night after writing
this plea. I might even be anchor one end on the front of the garage so
only 2 poles would be needed plus either some tent fabric or sail cloth.
The tricky bit might be making it look acceptable.

I have cheap (polypropylene?) tarpaulins. Some last well in the sun.
You'd be best to pull it tight so it doesn't flap in the wind and
annoy the neighbours.
