Age ▲▼ | Male ▲▼ | Female ▲▼ |

How your driving record affects car insurance rates in New Hampshire
Drivers with clean records are cost-effective for insurance companies because they’re less likely to file a claim. So good drivers tend to pay the lowest average rates. On the other hand, insurers consider drivers with traffic violations as more likely to file claims. So auto insurers may increase their premiums to offset this risk.
As illustrated in the table below, drivers in New Hampshire with a DUI pay 56% more on average for liability-only car insurance than drivers with a clean record.
Driver Record ▲▼ | Average Quote: Liability Only ▲▼ | Average Quote: Full Coverage ▲▼ |
|---|---|---|
| Clean record | $52 | $109 |
| With accident | $74 | $156 |
| With speeding ticket | $70 | $146 |
| With DUI | $81 | $169 |

Average New Hampshire car insurance rates by marital status
If you’re married in New Hampshire, you can expect to pay slightly less than single drivers for auto insurance coverage. Married couples tend to have more than one car, so tapping into multi-car discounts can lower their overall cost.
Also, if your spouse has a clean driving record and you add them to your insurance policy, it could lower your rates. In contrast, if your spouse is a high-risk driver, adding them to your policy may increase your rates.
Here’s how average auto insurance quotes in New Hampshire vary among married and single drivers.
Marital Status ▲▼ | Average Quote: Liability Only ▲▼ | Average Quote: Full Coverage ▲▼ |
|---|---|---|
| Married | $51 | $107 |

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.
