Recently moved to a new apartment which does not have any form of shade unlike d old one and I can't start constructing a carport for a landlord who might decide he wants to give his house to his nephew and give me quit notice d next month.
Recently noticed something funny,started d car one hot afternoon 2 days after I used it last and d tachometer started from 700RPM unlike the usual a little above 1000RPM meaning that this Abuja sun has already warmed d car for men,lol.Same day,I also noticed outside temperature was 108 degree farenheit.
Hardly drive d car during d day cos workplace is less than 2 minutes walk from my gate.

You can make the first one yourself out of any shiny reflective material.

There's this thing like an aluminium foil mat sold by roadside hawkers (those guys who sell wipers, car mats etc), you stick it on your windscreen from inside when parking your car in the sun for extended periods.
You can temporarily use thick cardboard boxes, wedging them in place with the windshield wipers cool

Whenever you park the car under sunlight, protect with a shade or one of these shiny mats people use in parks.

Car covers are generally for dust. For the sun, after about 10min the temperature penetrates right through.

A reflective mat dash cover which is usually placed over the dashboard from inside the car would help

If your compound is safe, when you park your car, reduce all the four windows for cross ventilation. The heat in the car need to escape.

You no go kill person!
@op, depending on security, you can wind down the windows a little bit for air passage. This will prevent the trapping of heat inside the car
