Claremont Car Insurance Recommendations
New Hampshire generally does not require drivers to have auto insurance but does expect motorists to be responsible for accidents they cause. Most drivers in the state have at least 25/50/25 liability insurance as well as two other types of coverage. Here's what this means, in essence:
- $25,000in bodily injury liability for one person per accident you cause (does not cover your injuries)
- $50,000for multiple people's bodily injuries in an accident you cause (does not cover your injuries)
- $25,000for property damage you cause (does not cover your property)
- Uninsured motoristscoverage for hit-and-runs or cases where at-fault drivers lack insurance (or have less insurance than you do). This is required if you get auto insurance in New Hampshire.
- Medical paymentscoverage to help with medical expenses regardless of fault. This coverage is also required if you buy auto insurance.
If you have a car loan, you probably must carry collision and comprehensive insurance, too. Both types can help with the repair or replacement of your own car. They can also be a good idea if your car is pricey or you cannot afford to easily replace your car.
Collision covers car collisions and collisions with trees, fences and similar objects. Comprehensive can cover instances of animal impact, fire and theft. You can also raise your liability insurance limits, especially if you have assets to protect. Experts generally recommend at least 100/300/100.
Average Cost of Claremont Car Insurance
Auto insurance in Claremont averages $96 a month or $1,154 a year. Fortunately, insurance costs in New Hampshire are affordable compared with other states.
The rates you pay could differ quite a bit from the average, though. For example, if you opt for a lower deductible, you potentially reduce out-of-pocket expenses and your overall accident costs if one happens. However, you do pay higher monthly or yearly rates.
Other common factors affecting your rates include the types of coverage you select and their limits, your vehicle make and model, driving history, the other drivers in your household, age, gender, marital status and credit record.
It is a smart move to compare rates from multiple insurers at least once a year. Your needs change over time, and the insurance that was perfect for you two years ago might not be the best fit today. For example, family dynamics change, cars decrease in value over time, loans are paid off and you may not need as much insurance as you used to. Conversely, you might need more insurance than you carry on an old car if you purchase a new and expensive car. VIU by HUB simplifies the process of comparing Claremont car insurance rates from multiple providers so you can find coverage that meets your budget and needs.
