What these figures are, and what they are not
Each figure is computed from the premiums insurers filed with New Hampshire Insurance Department for one hypothetical driver the regulator defined. They are not quotes, not offers, and not what any individual pays. An insurer’s filed sample rate assumes the exact vehicle, mileage, record and coverage in the published profile, and nothing else.
Full coverage. All examples include the following unless otherwise noted: Bodily injury liability limit is $100,000 per person, $300,000 per occurrence.; Property damage liability is $100,000.; Deductibles are $500 collision and $250 comprehensive.; Medical payments are $5,000.; Premium is for a 12 month period and for new business.; Premiums are not considered for multi-policy or package discounts.; If insurer sells Single Limit Liability coverage only, premiums reflect a; The insured had prior insurance with a standard carrier at the same limits,; If the company considers credit in calculating premium, they assumed that; Vehicles do not have anti-theft, anti-lock or other safety devices unless noted. NHID publishes a rate-effective date PER COMPANY as well as the survey's own filing date — the per-company dates in this edition span 2015-09-24 to 2024-08-01, while the survey includes rate filings effective as of 2024-08-01. Rating Example 6 departs from the shared limits — that driver buys 25/50 bodily injury and $25,000 property damage — and its definition says so. NHID's own host 403s every scripted client, so this edition was retrieved byte-for-byte from the Internet Archive's unmodified capture of https://mm.nh.gov/files/uploads/nhid/documents/auto-insurance-premium-comparison-example.pdf. We publish the count and the distribution — the smallest filed rate, the quartiles, the median and the largest — and never a rate attributed to an insurer.
What New Hampshire requires by statute
New Hampshire's statutory position is set out in full on its requirements page. The profile above buys the coverage NHID specified for its own survey, which is a separate question from the legal minimum. Car-insurance requirements in New Hampshire.
Coverage gap calculator
A liability limit caps what the policy pays. Anything above it is the at-fault driver’s own exposure. This works out the difference against the limits in your state’s statute — nothing else.
No purchase mandate
New Hampshire does not require drivers to buy liability insurance. Its published limits apply only once a financial-responsibility requirement is triggered, and the statute also allows a deposit with the state in place of a policy. There is no universal minimum to measure a claim against.
