Minimum Coverage Requirements in New Hampshire

New Hampshire is the only state that doesn't require all drivers to carry liability insurance — but that exemption ends the moment you're convicted of certain violations. If you're ordered to file SR-22 after a DUI, suspension for uninsured driving, or accumulation of points, the New Hampshire Division of Motor Vehicles requires you to maintain continuous liability coverage for the entire filing period. Non-owner SR-22 satisfies this requirement without attaching coverage to a specific vehicle.

25/50 ($25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident)
Bodily Injury Liability
Pays medical bills, lost wages, and legal costs when you injure someone while driving. New Hampshire's $25,000-per-person limit covers less than one night in a trauma center — many non-owner policies allow you to purchase higher limits for $5–$15 more per month. Non-owner policies apply when you borrow a vehicle with the owner's permission.
$25,000 per accident
Property Damage Liability
Covers damage you cause to another vehicle, fence, building, or structure. New Hampshire's $25,000 limit is exhausted quickly in multi-vehicle accidents — a totaled sedan costs $15,000–$30,000 to replace. Non-owner SR-22 policies cover only your liability, not damage to the vehicle you're driving.
Not required (but typically included)
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Pays your medical bills if you're hit by a driver with no insurance. Because New Hampshire doesn't mandate coverage for all drivers, uninsured motorist rates are higher here than in most states — many carriers automatically include UM/UIM in non-owner policies. You can reject it in writing, but most non-owner filers keep it.
Continuous for 1–3 years
SR-22 Certificate Filing
Form SR-22 is filed electronically by your insurer to the New Hampshire DMV within 24–48 hours of policy binding. The filing period starts from your reinstatement date, not the violation date — if you let coverage lapse for even one day, the DMV receives a cancellation notice and your license is re-suspended. Most carriers charge a $15–$50 one-time filing fee separate from premium.

How Much Does Car Insurance Cost in New Hampshire?

Non-owner SR-22 premiums in New Hampshire are lower than owner SR-22 because there's no vehicle to insure for physical damage. The premium covers only your liability exposure when driving borrowed vehicles. Rates vary by violation type, filing duration, and how long ago the underlying offense occurred.

What Affects Your Rate

  • DUI filers pay 60–120% more than suspended-license filers with no alcohol involvement — a non-owner DUI SR-22 in New Hampshire typically costs $50–$90/month versus $25–$40/month for point accumulation.
  • Filing duration matters: a 1-year requirement costs significantly less in total than a 3-year requirement, even though monthly premiums stay the same — you're paying fewer months.
  • Age and driving history before the violation affect base rates — a 35-year-old with one DUI and otherwise clean record pays less than a 22-year-old with a DUI and two prior speeding tickets.
  • Carriers specializing in non-standard risk (Progressive, The General, National General, Dairyland) typically offer the lowest non-owner SR-22 rates in New Hampshire — standard carriers often decline non-owner SR-22 applications entirely.
  • New Hampshire's lack of mandatory insurance means uninsured motorist coverage is priced higher here — adding UM/UIM to a non-owner policy costs $8–$15/month more than in states with universal insurance mandates.
  • Stacking SR-22 with an active owner policy on a household vehicle you occasionally drive doesn't reduce the non-owner premium — you're paying for two separate liability exposures.
Minimum Coverage
$25–$40/mo
State-minimum 25/50/25 liability. Lowest legal option. Most non-owner filers with single violations pay in this range.
Standard Coverage
$40–$65/mo
Increased limits to 50/100/50 or 100/300/100. Includes uninsured motorist coverage. Recommended for drivers with assets to protect.
High-Limit Coverage
$65–$90/mo
250/500/100 or higher liability limits. For drivers with stacked violations, commercial driving history, or prior judgment liens. Rare for non-owner policies but available.
