Best customer service: Amica

The best renters insurance for people in New Hampshire who value dependable customer service comes from Amica. The company receives only about 12% of the complaints expected for its size, according to the NAIC. Additionally, its "Superior" credit rating from AM Best means Amica won't default on paying claims. That means renters who choose Amica will have peace of mind, knowing that their insurance company can take care of them if they have to make a claim.

Amica is also the second-cheapest company we found in New Hampshire. Renters can get a policy for $10 per month, or $120 per year, on average. That's about 12% cheaper than the average cost in New Hampshire. In addition, renters can lower their rates with discounts for purchasing a policy online, bundling auto and renters insurance, having a claim-free record and signing up for automatic payments.

Amica's coverage is fairly standard but sufficient for many people. A basic policy includes protections for personal property, liability expenses and loss of use coverage. You can purchase expanded coverage for valuable belongings and identity theft protection, too.

Best renters insurance for seniors: Allstate

Allstate is a great option for retirees living in New Hampshire. Renters who are at least 55 years old and retired could receive a discount worth up to 25% from Allstate. Discounts are also available for people who insure their car with Allstate, maintain a claim-free insurance record or make automatic payments.

While it's only slightly more expensive than the average cost of renters insurance in New Hampshire, Allstate's rate might be too expensive for people who don't qualify for any discounts — especially since the coverage offered by Allstate isn't too different from Amica and State Farm, both of which are cheaper.

Although Allstate has agents in 25 cities across New Hampshire, the company's customer service reputation isn't great. Allstate receives more complaints than expected for a company of its size, according to the NAIC. Additionally, Allstate is rated below average among national providers by J.D. Power for its policyholders' overall satisfaction.
