What affects your car insurance rate in New Hampshire?

  • Your car’s make, model, year and trim
  • Your location within New Hampshire
  • Your coverage level
  • Your driving history, credit score and vehicle storage

Does your vehicle model affect car insurance rates in New Hampshire?

A vehicle’s make and model can significantly impact car insurance rates. Make is the brand, while model is the specific vehicle you drive. For example, Honda is the make and Accord is the model.

Insurers consider repair costs, claim frequency and theft rates when pricing coverage. Even similarly priced vehicles can have very different insurance costs.

For example, full coverage for a Honda Accord LX costs $1,839 per year in New Hampshire, while a Honda CR-V averages $1,474 – a difference of $365.

A popular car doesn’t always mean cheaper insurance

High theft rates or expensive repairs can drive up premiums. Always check insurance costs before purchasing a vehicle.

Does your car’s model year affect insurance rates in New Hampshire?

In general, newer vehicles cost more to insure because they are more expensive to repair or replace. In New Hampshire, the annual premium for a 2024 Honda Accord LX is $1,702, while the 2025 model costs $1,806.

That said, older cars aren’t always cheaper – vehicles without modern safety features or with costly parts may still carry higher premiums.

How does your car’s trim affect insurance rates in New Hampshire?

Insurance rates often vary based on your car’s trim. Trim is a version of a vehicle model with different features, equipment, or engine options, such as LX, EX, or Sport.

For example, in New Hampshire, full coverage for a 2024 Honda Accord LX costs $1,702 annually, while the Accord EX-L trim costs $1,741 – a difference of $39.

Premium features like advanced infotainment or high-end audio systems can increase rates by raising the vehicle’s value. Performance trims may also cost more due to higher accident risk.

That upgrade can cost more than you expect

Moving to a higher trim can increase your insurance premium due to higher repair and replacement costs – not just the purchase price. Before choosing a trim, it’s worth getting a quote on each option to see how the price difference carries over to your insurance.
