Additional car insurance coverages to consider

If you're leasing or financing a vehicle, most lenders require you to carry comprehensive auto coverage and collision coverage in addition to New Hampshire's state-required coverages. Comprehensive and collision pay to repair or replace your car regardless of fault, if it's in an accident, gets stolen, or is otherwise damaged as the result of a covered accident. It also makes sense to add these physical damage coverages if you're not sure you could afford a new car or major repairs after a crash.
