Yes and believe it or not White. Just depends on the time of year and the local highway patrol and accidents nation wide.

I am an insurance broker. I do quotes on a regular basis. COLOUR IS NOT ONE OF THE QUESTIONS ASKED! It matters for the actual registration, but does not affect the amount of money you have to pay. I have had this question pop up many times before, and have had people look me in the eye and tell me that red cars cost more to insure. It is a REALLY OLD MYTH! Where did it start? Probably with sports cars. Insurance on them is higher, and many of them are red.

No. I think people confuse that with data/statistics about accidents that say that most cars in accident are red, but car color does not have anything to do with insurance rates. If it did, they wouldn't even sell red cars anymore.

When getting insurance they do not and should not ask the color of the car. So no is the answer.

The correct answer is yes because red paint is much more expensive than other colors and therefore insurance companies charge higher premiums. It's the same principle for certain makes of cars because of their high cost of replacement parts you pay much higher premiums.

no insurance companies do not rate based on color of vehicle
but police officers and young females are attracted to red cars more than others

No. Urban myth - in reality most sportscars are red and most people who drive those cars drive recklessly resulting in higher insurance.

Color shouldn't have any thing to do with it,,, it is the kind of car and the size of the motor,,,sports cars, are always high.

Definitely not. Engine capacity determines insurance, anything else that adjusts the price is to do with the driver eg. age, address etc.
