In New Hampshire, if you don’t buy at least the state’s minimum amount of liability car insurance, you have to provide proof of financial responsibility. That means you have to demonstrate to the state that if you cause an accident, you can pay out of pocket amounts that are equal to the state’s minimum insurance requirements.[1]

Most drivers probably can’t afford to pay tens of thousands of dollars after an at-fault accident, which could explain why just 6.1% of New Hampshire motorists drive without car insurance.[2] Granite State drivers face lower-than-average car insurance costs. The average cost of full coverage car insurance in New Hampshire is $127 per month, and liability-only coverage averages $63 per month. By comparison, the national average for full coverage is $204 and $104 for liability only.

It's a good idea to buy car insurance, even if you're not required to. And comparing quotes from multiple companies is the best way to find affordable car insurance in New Hampshire.

Quick Facts
  • Liability-only car insurance in New Hampshire costs, on average, $755 per year. Full coverage averages $1,521 annually.

  • Because New Hampshire is prone to severe winter and coastal weather events, drivers should consider purchasing full-coverage car insurance.

  • If you buy car insurance in New Hampshire, you must purchase at least 25/50/25 liability limits.[3]

3 of the cheapest car insurance companies in New Hampshire

Finding the cheapest car insurance companies in New Hampshire involves more than searching for the lowest price. If you purchase auto insurance, you’ll need to find a policy that offers the coverage you need and the savings opportunities you want. Compare quotes from multiple insurers, many of which offer better rates to certain categories of drivers.

  • Our editorial team spent more than 350 hours developing the Insurify Quality (IQ) Score and scoring insurance companies. The IQ Score objectively analyzes and calculates a score for insurers using more than 15 crucial criteria. The team weighted criteria by importance to the consumer — factors such as customer reviews and affordability influence the score more than availability and third-party ratings.

    We rate each company on a 1 to 10 scale based on five categories: financial ratings, customer satisfaction, affordability, customer support and transparency, and availability. Insurify updates ratings once a year or as more recent information becomes available.

    • Third-party financial ratings: Insurify uses data from AM Best, S&P, Moody’s, and more to compare insurance companies’ credit and ability to pay out future claims.
    • Customer satisfaction: To calculate this score, Insurify analyzed more than 28,000 customer reviews across 155 car insurance companies. We also consider third-party ratings from J.D. Power, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, and Trustpilot.
    • Affordability: Our data scientists analyzed more than 90 million real-time auto insurance rates from our partners across the U.S., as well as available discounts, to calculate an affordability score.
    • Customer support and transparency: This measures coverage options, ease of claims filing, and the insurer's transparency surrounding discounts, coverages, and claims process.
    • Availability and reach: Insurify scores availability and reach by identifying the number of states in which insurers offer coverage and company size by market share.

Why we picked this company

Safeco is a Liberty Mutual company, though it offers different rates, discounts, and incentives for drivers in New Hampshire. Safeco uses independent agents to write policies, so drivers who appreciate personalized attention may prefer this method. Savings incentives, like a diminishing deductible for up to five years, a claims-free cash back offer every six months, and accident forgiveness, are great ways to keep your premium as low as possible.

Pros
  • Claims-free cash back and diminishing deductible programs

  • Offers an accident-forgiveness program

Cons
  • Higher-than-average NAIC complaint score

  • Can’t buy a policy online

How to get the cheapest car insurance in New Hampshire

Here are some of the best ways to find affordable car insurance in New Hampshire for your coverage needs and situation:

  • Ask about discounts. Call the insurance company you’re interested in to ask which discounts you may be eligible for. The more discounts you can qualify for, the lower your insurance premiums will be.

  • Bundle your coverage. Many insurers offer lower rates to people who buy multiple insurance products, like auto insurance and home insurance, together.

  • Raise your deductible. If you can afford a higher out-of-pocket cost when filing a claim, raising your collision or comprehensive deductible usually results in lower monthly premiums.

  • Compare quotes. A good way to ensure you’re getting the best prices possible is to compare quotes from at least three different insurers. Use a comparison website to gather multiple quotes at once for easy comparison.

Cheapest liability-only car insurance in New Hampshire

Auto liability coverage usually includes property damage coverage and bodily injury coverage. Each pays for the injuries or damages you cause another person or property. While New Hampshire doesn’t require everyone to buy car insurance, you must buy liability coverage if you can’t demonstrate financial responsibility for at-fault accidents.

If you do chose to purchase liability coverage, you can expect an average rate of $63 per month. The table below shows various insurers that offer liability insurance in New Hampshire.

Cheapest full-coverage car insurance in New Hampshire

Full-coverage policies are a good idea for drivers with newer vehicles or for anyone who might not be able to afford repairs after an incident. If you lease or finance your vehicle, your leasing company or lender will require you to have full coverage. A full-coverage policy typically includes comprehensive coverage, so they cover damages and losses from theft, vandalism, falling objects, and weather events.

Because New Hampshire is prone to winter and coastal storms, Consumer Federation of America research and advocacy associate Michael DeLong recommends full-coverage policies for drivers in the state.[4] “Unusual weather events can happen at any time, especially because of shifting patterns due to climate change,” he says.

On average, a full coverage policy in New Hampshire costs $127 per month. Below are the cheapest full-coverage car insurance companies in New Hampshire.

Car insurance requirements in New Hampshire

New Hampshire is unique among most other states: Drivers don’t legally have to carry car insurance. You only need to demonstrate that you have the funds necessary to meet the requirements of the state’s motor vehicle responsibility limits if you cause an accident. If you buy car insurance in New Hampshire, you must meet these liability limits:[3]

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/f2ca9fa443/protection-for-passengers.svg

    Bodily injury liability

    $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/9ffcc07fc9/damage-from-aircraft.svg

    Property damage liability

    $25,000 per accident

However, you should consider having at least some form of car insurance, no matter how often or far you drive. Many coverage options are available, each applying to certain damages, including:

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/5285c4cd74/uninsured-or-underinsured-motorist-coverage.svg

    Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/169fdfde11/liability-coverage.svg

    Collision coverage

    This covers damages when you hit something with your vehicle, either another car or an object, even if it’s your fault.

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/665da91bf7/comprehensive-coverage.svg

  • illustration card https://a.storyblok.com/f/162273/x/abffe6238f/financial-protection.svg

    Gap coverage

    If you finance or lease your vehicle, this coverage pays the difference between the remainder of your auto loan and your insurance settlement after a total loss.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with a speeding ticket

Speed is a factor in many car accidents. Speeding doesn’t only mean exceeding the speed limit, either; sometimes, driving even the posted speed limit on a dark, rainy, or snowy New Hampshire road can increase the likelihood of an accident.[5]

A speeding ticket, no matter the amount over the limit, signals to an insurer that a driver isn’t as responsible behind the wheel as they can be. That’s why just one speeding ticket can make your premiums jump. In New Hampshire, drivers with speeding tickets face average monthly rates of $245 for full coverage and $122 for liability only.

Here are the average monthly quotes from top insurers for New Hampshire drivers with a speeding ticket.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with an at-fault accident

A single claim can cause your car insurance rates to increase, which is why it’s important to avoid at-fault accidents.[6] Mistakes happen, but because your insurer will have to pay for damage you cause, it can raise your premiums significantly.

An at-fault accident pushes average rates in New Hampshire to $189 per month for full coverage and $94 for liability only. To start your search for car insurance after an at-fault accident, here are the cheapest insurers in New Hampshire.

Cheapest car insurance for drivers with a DUI

New Hampshire requires people with any DUI conviction on their record to file an SR-22 insurance form.[7] Furthermore, DUIs are serious charges that insurers typically penalize with the highest prices.[6] If you have a DUI on your record, expect your New Hampshire insurance premiums to almost triple and the impact will last for three to five years.

On average, New Hampshire drivers with DUIs see monthly rates of $214 for full coverage and $106 for minimum coverage. Here are average monthly quotes for New Hampshire drivers with a DUI from top car insurance companies.

Cheapest car insurance for seniors

Drivers will notice their premiums decrease around age 35, then increase again around age 70. Even with more driving experience, senior drivers are more at risk for specific types of crashes, like merging crashes and intersection crashes.

Changes to driving ability due to medication use and physical, cognitive, or visual differences increase the risk of accidents, which is why insurers often increase premiums for older drivers.[8] However, senior drivers in New Hampshire generally pay lower average costs than younger drivers. On average, car insurance for seniors costs $98 per month for full coverage and $49 for liability only. The table below shows the cheapest insurers in New Hampshire for older drivers.

Cheapest car insurance for teens

Across the nation, teens have a higher risk of being involved in fatal car accidents than all other age groups due to their inexperience, overconfidence, and increased distractions.[9] However, New Hampshire has a low number of fatal accidents for drivers younger than 20 each year.[10]

Teens may still see higher premiums than average, but they can lower them by staying on their parents’ insurance policies, earning discounts for maintaining good grades, and driving a car with insurer-preferred safety features. Parents should also ask their insurer if it offers discounts for teen drivers who are away at college without a car.

Teen drivers in New Hampshire see average car insurance rates of $229 per month for full coverage and $113 for liability only.

New Hampshire car insurance quotes by credit tier

New Hampshire is among the majority of states that allow car insurance companies to use a driver’s credit history as a factor in setting premiums.[11] Insurers may use credit information to create a credit-based insurance score to help predict your risk of filing a claim. In most cases, drivers with poor credit scores get higher premiums than drivers with excellent or good credit scores.

Methodology

Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 90 million quotes served to car insurance applicants in Insurify’s proprietary database to calculate the premium averages displayed on this page. These premiums are real quotes that come directly from Insurify’s 50+ partner insurance companies in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Quote averages represent the median price for a quote across the given coverage level, driver subset, and geographic area.

Unless otherwise specified, quoted rates reflect the average cost for drivers between 20 and 70 years old with a clean driving record and average or better credit (a credit score of 600 or higher).

Liability-only premium averages correspond to policies with the following coverage limits:

  • Bodily injury limits between state-minimum rates and $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident
  • Property damage limits between $10,000 and $50,000
  • No additional coverage
Full-coverage premium averages correspond to the same bodily injury and property damage limits in addition to:
  • Comprehensive coverage with a $1,000 deductible
