If you purchase insurance, the state imposes coverage minimums. New Hampshire's minimum requirements for auto liability insurance are:
- $25,000 bodily injury liability per person

Trucking companies may need additional coverage to comply with regulations.
Personal vehicles driven for work purposes should be covered by hired and non-owned auto insurance (HNOA), as personal auto policies usually exclude business use. It can be added to commercial general liability insurance or a business owner's policy.
