Is it a good idea to put stickers on your car?

It really depends on your personal preference. If you enjoy having stickers on your car, then it could be a fun and creative way to express yourself.

Simply make sure that your car stickers:

• Do not impact your view of the road
• Do not contain offensive messages
• Will not damage your car when you remove them

All of these seem reasonable enough, so we say yes, it is a good idea to put stickers on your car.

We’ve answered some of your most common questions about using car stickers, specifically in the US, below.

Is it legal to put stickers on cars in the US?

Yes, it is legal to put stickers on your car. You can find out more in our article what are car stickers. However, there are some aspects you need to consider. These include:

• The size of your car sticker
• The impact your sticker can have on your view
• Whether your stickers disturb or pose a risk to other road users

You can find a detailed overview of US regulations on vehicle visibility and safety here.

For now, make sure your sticker won’t obstruct your view of the road or distract, blind, or upset other drivers. This means avoiding reflective materials and not using profane or upsetting slogans or designs.

Are stickers on a car considered a modification?

Car stickers can fall into the category of "cosmetic modifications." This depends on the company you’re insured with.

Some define a modification as "any change that differs from the manufacturer’s original factory specification" (more here).

Stickers are a small cosmetic modification at most because they don’t affect your vehicle's performance and won’t increase or decrease its value.

Do you have to tell your insurance company if you put stickers on your car?

You can, to be on the safe side or if you're using a particularly large sticker.

However, since a standard car sticker won’t affect your car's performance or value, it’s very unlikely that your insurance will a) care or b) change your premium.

How much do car stickers cost?

Of course, the price of car stickers also helps determine whether it’s a good idea to invest in them.

Since we offer custom-printed car stickers, there’s no fixed price list. Instead, the price depends on:

• The material you select
• The size of your sticker
• How many stickers you want

So let’s look at an example. Say you want to get 75 stickers, each 7x7cm, printed on white vinyl for your car.

All you’d have to do is head over to the car stickers page and enter your requirements. Then select "custom quantity" and enter 75. This will generate an instant price for you.

So 75 car stickers at 7x7cm would cost $65 USD (correct at the time of writing, converted from £51).

Overall, car stickers can be a great way to express yourself and add character to your vehicle. Just make sure to consider the size, visibility, and any potential risks to other drivers before applying one to your car.

And once you’ve applied them, you're good to go. And if you want to remove them later, don’t worry. We have plenty of tips for you, including how to remove stickers from car windows.
