Average car insurance costs for teens in New Hampshire

Car insurance costs an average of $4,141 per year for teen drivers in New Hampshire with coverage limits of 100/300/100-that’s $100,000 for one person’s injuries, $300,000 for all injuries in an accident, and $100,000 for property damage-plus $500 deductibles for collision and comprehensive coverage.

Teen drivers face higher car insurance rates than young adults or older drivers because they lack experience on the road. Insurers see them as higher risk, which leads to steeper premiums.

Insurance rates in New Hampshire also vary based on the coverage limits you choose, the type of car you drive, and the ZIP code you live in. New Hampshire families can lower costs by taking advantage of good student discounts, enrolling teens in a driving program and adding teens to an existing family policy rather than buying a separate one.

Average teen car insurance costs in New Hampshire, by gender

In most states, car insurance rates differ by gender, though California, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania prohibit the practice. In New Hampshire, a 16-year-old male pays about $5,519 per year, compared to $4,948 for a female of the same age – a difference of $571.

According to the most recent data from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, a total of 3,048 teenagers ages 13-19 lost their lives in motor vehicle crashes in 2023, with two of every three teenagers who died in crashes in 2023 being males.

These crash trends help explain why teen boys usually face higher insurance costs than girls. Because young men are more likely to be in serious accidents, insurers factor that added risk into their rates.

Smart ways to save on car insurance for your teen

There’s no avoiding the fact that insuring a teen driver costs more, but you can take steps to manage the expense while keeping them safe on the road:

  • Check state averages. Knowing what families typically pay in your state gives you a ballpark figure to budget and compare against quotes.
  • Choose the right car. A safe, reliable sedan is far cheaper to insure than a luxury or sports car.
  • Consider full coverage. Liability is cheaper, but full coverage offers better protection against accidents, injuries, and costly repairs.
  • Ask about discounts. Many insurers reward good grades, defensive driving courses, or low mileage with lower rates.
  • Talk with your teen. Driving isn’t just freedom – it’s responsibility. Open conversations about risks and safety can encourage habits that save lives.
  • Review your rates each year. Premiums usually drop as your teen gains experience and keeps a clean record, so it’s worth checking annually.

Helping your teen start off safely on the road

Adding a teen to your policy will raise your rates at first, but those costs don’t stay high forever. With each year of safe driving, premiums generally go down.

You can lower expenses by comparing quotes, bundling policies, and asking about discounts. More importantly, insuring your teen isn’t just about following state rules – it’s about protecting your finances and giving your young driver a safe, confident start on the road.
