Is Insurance rates on red cars more expensive?

Question

Is Insurance rates on red cars more expensive?

Answer 1

No, not at all.  That's a myth, propagated by people who don't know how insurance works.  

Insurance companies don't track the color of your car.  They don't care.

Answer 2

No, not technically.

However, cops spot red cars MUCH more easily, therefore you get more tickets, therefore your rates go up.

I used to have a red car, and I got THREE tickets in two years.

Now I have a green car, and I haven't gotten ANY in two years.  

(I speed all the time too!)

Answer 3

i know ill put a foot in my mouth but no.  i have a red car and my rates are not as bad as my other car that was white.  my other car was considered a sports car but it was a family car.  

so basically it depends on what you drive and not the color.

Answer 4

No it makes no difference what color it is. I drove a red car for years never got a ticket............UJN

Answer 5

no that stuff isnt true

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

Rates are usually based on your age, your driving record, where you live and whether the car will be kept in a garage, in a carport or in the street.

The paint colour should have nothing to do with it. Even if it did, it would be minimal compared to the other factors.

Answer 8

i have heard it is slightly because if you were to get in an accident, to repaint the car with the exact red is difficult. matching the original red cost more
