Can I go without car insurance in New Hampshire?

I purchased a new vehicle and haven't yet purchased insurance. Do I need to, or can I go without it?

Sophie Newman · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“New Hampshire is the only state in the country that doesn’t require
car insurance
 without paying any fees to opt out.
If you choose this route, be warned that the State of New Hampshire requires you to pay the full amount of property and bodily damages whether you’re at fault or the other driver is at fault.
Because of the financial burden this might cause, a vast majority of New Hampshirites choose to purchase at least
liability coverage
 to protect themselves from financial ruin.
Keep in mind that medical payments of $1,000 is also required by law. Drivers in New Hampshire pay an average of $475 a year.”
