Yes, Colorado allows insurers to use credit-based insurance scores when setting auto insurance premiums. Denver drivers with poor credit scores can pay 40-80% more for car insurance than those with excellent credit. Colorado Revised Statute 10-4-116 prohibits using credit score as the sole factor, and insurers must inform you if your score negatively affected your rate. Improving your credit score is one of the most effective ways to lower your Denver car insurance premiums. Read our guide on credit scores and insurance for more details.
