Does getting a bright red/blue car raise your insurance?

Question

Does getting a bright red/blue car raise your insurance?

Answer 1

No.  Color has nothing to do with your insurance rate.  Color can be ASSOCIATED with high insurance rates, because cars like the Camaro or Corvette are expensive to insure, and colors like red or yellow are more popular in those cars than with say, a Toyota Camry.  But correlation does not imply causation in this case.

Answer 2

No, color of the car isn't a rating factor for insurance.  Anyone who says otherwise, hasn't ever actually rated a car.

Answer 3

No.

Answer 4

The answers vary by person.It would be a good idea to hear several of them and see the differences.Here is a good one.http://carinsurance.expertsupport.info/a...

Answer 5

I have said this many times, I say it again, COLOUR DOESN'T MATTER!

Your insurance company doesn't even ask for the colour when they quote, how come people never remember that?  I am an licenced insurance broker, and I drive a red car, how's them apples?  Do you think I would drive a red anything if it was going to cost me more?  Don't you think there would a lot fewer red cars on the road if red cost more to insure?

Now if you compare a 2007 red Corvette with a 2007 green Malibu, of course the red one would cost more, and that is the mistake people make, they don't look at the whole picture.  Any Corvette is going to cost more than any Malibu, all other factors being equal.

Answer 6

Yes.  Statistically, red cars get into more accidents than a brown car, per se.

Answer 7

Red does for sure, but I don't know about bright blue...  My car is a dark blue, no penalty there.

God bless!

Answer 8

possible for being high teft. depends on what it is. a red Pontiac Sunfire migh tnot be high theft, (except now with gas prices so high, hehe) but a red Grand Prix  would be high theft. ususally it's the sportscars. a red car might be a target for a police radar gun though. also, they might be a target for ANY ticketable offense. if it's red or a sportscar, the police will  notice any little thing they can pull you over for.
