A full coverage car insurance policy costs around $1,650 a year or $137 per month for New Hampshire drivers. However, if you choose to get the state’s minimum liability coverage, you’ll pay $447 a year.

Where you live plays a big role in what you pay for car insurance. Insurers factor in local accident rates, repair and medical costs, theft trends, and even weather risks when setting premiums. If you’re in a crowded city with high traffic or crime rates, you’ll typically pay more, whereas quieter rural areas usually come with lower premiums. But location isn’t everything – your age, driving history, credit score, ZIP code and even the type of car you drive also play a role in determining your final premium.

Insure.com commissioned Quadrant Information Services to calculate average auto insurance rates for vehicles from 2006 to 2023.

Our hypothetical driver is a 40-year-old male who commutes 12 miles to work each day, with policy limits of 100/300/50 ($100,000 for injury liability for one person, $300,000 for all injuries and $50,000 for property damage in an accident) and a $500 deductible on collision and comprehensive coverage.

Rates for vehicles up until 2023 includes uninsured motorist coverage (since some states require it, we do it for all) and PIP or Medical Payments, if it is required by state law. This hypothetical driver has a clean record and good credit.

For liability 100/300 is rates the same hypothetical driver but with liability limits of 100/300/50, uninsured/underinsured motorist in matching amounts and PIP or MedPay, if required by state. We recommend limits this high, even if you have only liability coverage. A state-minimum policy includes only the basic state liability limits and any other state-required coverages, such as uninsured motorist or PIP.

Averages were calculated using data from six large carriers, such as Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, Nationwide, Progressive and State Farm. Rates were averaged across multiple ZIP codes and insurance companies. Average rates are for comparative purposes; your rate will depend on your personal factors.

Average cost of car insurance by coverage levels in New Hampshire

Your car insurance premium is determined by the coverage limits you choose.

If you purchase only the state’s minimum liability limits, you’ll pay $37 per month or $447 annually. While an affordable option, it only includes liability coverage. That means any damage to your own vehicle won’t be covered.

If you’re looking for more robust protection, consider choosing full coverage car insurance. It includes liability coverage, plus collision and comprehensive insurance. Collision coverage covers damage to your vehicle in an accident, no matter who’s at fault. Comprehensive insurance covers theft, vandalism or weather-related damage to your car.

In New Hampshire, drivers typically pay $137 per month or $1,650 annually for full coverage car insurance.

Although it costs more than minimum coverage, full coverage can be a smart choice -particularly if you have a newer or financed vehicle.

Coverage limitsAverage annual cost
State minimum liability-only$447
Liability only$486
Full coverage$1,650
Non-owner state minimum liability$379

Average car insurance cost in New Hampshire by age

Insurers consider age a key risk factor when determining car insurance rates. Our data shows that young drivers typically pay higher premiums due to their limited experience behind the wheel.

Generally, rates are highest for teens, begin to drop after age 25 and rise again once drivers reach their early 70s.

Let’s take a closer look at how much you might pay in New Hampshire for a full coverage policy based on your age and gender.

Average car insurance cost in New Hampshire for young drivers

If you’re a young driver, you can expect to pay above average premiums. Insurers see young drivers as high-risk, which means higher premiums until you gain more experience behind the wheel.

For instance, 20-year-old male drivers in New Hampshire pay an average of $3,617 per year for car insurance, while females of the same age pay $3,020.

But by the time you turn 25, insurance premiums drop to $2,096 a year on average for male drivers and $1,997 for female drivers.

But by age 70, average premiums rise to $1,711 for men and $1,657 annually for women. At 75, rates increase even further – $1,898 for male drivers and $1,816 for female drivers.

Insurers charge more because older drivers are seen as a higher risk due to slower reaction times and changes in vision. But you can still keep costs down by maintaining a clean driving record and taking advantage of senior discounts.

Age of driverAverage annual cost for Male driversAverage annual cost for Female drivers
65$1,560$1,508

Minimum car insurance requirements in New Hampshire

In New Hampshire, drivers aren’t legally required to carry auto insurance, but they must be able to prove financial responsibility if they cause an accident. For those who choose to purchase coverage, the state minimum requirements are:

  • Bodily injury per person: $25,000
  • Bodily injury per accident: $50,000
  • Property damage liability: $25,000

Drivers can also meet the financial responsibility requirement by depositing $100,000 in cash or securities with the state. But while the minimum requirements are legal, it’s worth considering higher liability limits and adding coverages like collision and comprehensive for stronger financial protection.

Cheapest cars to insure in New Hampshire

Insurance premiums vary significantly depending on the type of vehicle you drive. Cars that are more expensive to repair, have higher theft rates, or are statistically involved in more accidents typically cost more to insure. On the other hand, vehicles with excellent safety ratings, affordable repair costs, and fewer claims history tend to have lower insurance premiums.

Hyundai Venue has the lowest premium, at an average of $1,338 a year, closely followed by Honda HR-V, with an average annual car insurance cost of $1,370.
