These are the most common myths about car insurance. When someone tries to mislead you with one of them, please set them straight.

A red or yellow car costs no more than a gray or blue car. This is one of the biggest myths told. Don’t be concerned about the color of vehicle you are buying.
• When you move, your rates will stay the same: Depending on where you move to, your rates could increase or decrease. There are localities that are more accident prone than others and insurance companies set their rates according to the statistics.

• The rates will be the same at all insurance companies:

• If a person is driving your car and has an accident, their insurance covers it:
