Car Colors May Express Your Personality But Not Your Insurance Rate – CarInsuranceCalculator.info Wraps Up the Eternal Debate

One of the stickiest myths around factors affecting car insurance premiums is that of color. According to that myth drivers of red or back vehicles are more likely to face higher premiums than others, may it be due to a higher propensity to accidents or speeding tickets. Despite serious research on the subject rumors don’t end. A new study released last week on behalf of autoTRADER.ca now stresses again the connection between car colors and driver personalities.
But does this implicitly mean there are chances for drivers to be charged differently, all other things being equal, just for the color of their car?
“It’s amazing, but we still observe frequently this question being asked by users, who want advice in this direction,” explains Steve, Project Manager at CarInsuranceCalculator.info: “this is why we felt the need for this guide. This recent study is an excellent occasion for us to publish it."
