One out of four drivers thinks that their auto insurance rates are based on car color, according to a survey that found a high rate of confusion concerning what policies cover.
The findings were reported by Progressive after an online survey of 1,000 drivers conducted by Drive Insurance.
Among the respondents, 25 percent believed that the vehicle's paint shade affects their auto insurance rate. Progressive noted it is the vehicle's year, make, model, body type and engine size as well as information about the driver that determines the rate.
