Unused car

I have a new Citroen C4 which will not be used very much this winter and want to purchase a car cover to protect it. What should I purchase? Also what can I do to protect the brake discs which will rust I am sure? Car parked on drive and two miles from the coast.

I use a Dupont Tyvek car cover from Halfords, both outside and in the garage. Nothing you can do to protect the brake discs apart from keep them dry as possible, which you cannot do when parked outdoors.
