Auto Insurance in New Hampshire
Liability for injury and damage you cause, plus optional coverage for your own vehicle. Every state sets a minimum; the minimum is rarely enough.
What is different in New Hampshire
New Hampshire is the one state that does not compel most drivers to carry auto liability insurance — but an uninsured at-fault driver is personally exposed and must then prove financial responsibility. Any policy that is issued must include uninsured motorist coverage at liability limits. Ice damming and frozen pipes dominate winter property claims.
