How it affects your price
The filing costs little by itself. The related offense causes the premium to rise.
One at-fault accident raises the price about 1.5 times, according to state rate guides that we use.
At a New Hampshire liability average of $517, the annual cost would be about $775.
How to get a filing
- Your insurer may handle the filing for you, but not every company does; ask them to send it to the state.
- Don't have a car? A non-owner policy can include the filing.
- Continue paying for the policy. The state receives notice of a lapse, which can restart the clock.
