Everything You Need to Know About the State of New Hampshire (NH)
Attaining statehood on June 21, 1788, New Hampshire was the first state in the United States to have its own constitution. The state’s spirit of independence is symbolized in its motto, “Live Free or Die.” New Hampshire plays a vital role in national elections, as it was the first state to hold a primary election. Its primary results are considered an influence on the rest of the nation leading to the saying, “As New Hampshire goes, so goes the nation.”
New Hampshire shares borders with Massachusetts to the south and Vermont to the west. It has Maine and the Atlantic Ocean to the East and the Canadian province of Quebec to the North. New Hampshire is the 5th smallest state by surface area in the country. It is the spot of the White Mountains and the renowned Mount Washington. Mount Washington is one of the windiest areas in the nation. Concord is the state’s capital.
In 1774, there was an effort by the American troops to disarm a British garrison, and 400 locals responded to the call, and it was recorded as one of the first acts of revolution.
The Scotch-Irish settlers, who settled in Nutfield in April 1719, planted the first potato crops in North America. The settlement's name was later changed to Londonderry and is now located in Derry town.
Alan Shepard Junior, who was America's first astronaut, hailed from New Hampshire. Also, the first private civilian to travel to space, Christa McAuliffe, was from New Hampshire.
In July 1944, financiers from forty-four countries congregated at the magnificent Mount Washington Hotel for the Bretton Woods International Monetary Conference. During the conference, the World Bank and International Monetary Fund were established. In addition, the American dollar was appointed the standard of international exchange at the meeting.
New Hampshire is one of only nine states that does not require its populaces to pay state income taxes.
Car Shipping in New Hampshire
Even though New Hampshire is one of the safest states for driving, moving your own car may prove challenging. You need a New Hampshire vehicle shipping business with an impeccable reputation if you want to transport your car without hassle.
Here is what you need to know about car shipping in New Hampshire:
The Car Shipping Process
Get a Quote
Reach out to your preferred auto transport company and request a quote. The quote should be detailed and should reflect how much you are paying and what the payment is for. To get a quote, you will need to provide your details such as your name and email. Also, your pickup and delivery address, the make and model of your car, its operational state, mode of shipping, and the car’s availability for pick up will be required.
Prepare Your Car
Before your car ships, you should put certain things in place:
Declutter
It is advisable for you to remove all valuables and personal items from your vehicle before shipping. This reduces the weight of the car, influencing the cost of shipping. It is also a safety measure for your property, as the company does not take responsibility for any missing or damaged items.
Inspect
You should inspect your car and preferably take pictures to serve as a reference for the state of the car before shipment. Any damage to the vehicle in the course of transit will need to be noted on the bill of lading.
Empty Gas Tank
There is no need to fill your gas tank before shipping. You only need enough gas for the car’s pickup and delivery, which is usually a quarter of the tank’s capacity. Any excess gas only increases the overall weight of the vehicle.
Have a Representative Pick Up Your Car
After the pickup location and time have been agreed upon, a representative will be available to pick up your car. It is a normal business practice in vehicle shipping conduct an inspection to ascertain the state of the car to confirm the car is delivered the same way it was picked up. The result of the assessment will be documented on a Bill of Lading, both on the pick and drop of.
Delivery
You will be contacted ahead of time to confirm your availability for delivery. This is usually a day earlier to enable you or your pickup representative to be ready to receive the car.
Check for Damages
You should inspect your vehicle upon receipt to confirm there were no damages during the shipping process.
There are some details you need to clarify from the car shipping company before you engage them. One of which is the validity of the quote. Quotes typically have short validity periods due to frequent price fluctuations. Hence, you should confirm how long the quote is valid for. This guides you in making a decision for payment on time.
Also, payment options should be confirmed. While some car shipping companies do not require upfront payment, others do. The mode of payment is also not fixed. Hence, you should have these details sorted before proceeding.
Factors Influencing Car Shipping Costs
There are a number of factors that determine how much it costs to ship a car to or from New Hampshire. Some of them are:
Shipping Method
There are two major methods of car shipping. The open method and the enclosed method. The open method involves transporting cars in an open carriage. Although this method is cheaper, it is not the safest as it exposes the vehicles to harsh weather conditions.
The second method is the enclosed method. This is a safer but costlier method. It transports the vehicles in an enclosed container, protecting them from extreme weather conditions.
A third but less used method is the expedited method. This is an option for people who need their vehicles shipped urgently. The cars are shipped in a very short time frame, and delivery is dependent on the distance to be covered.
Distance and Location
The overall distance to be covered while shipping your car determines the shipping costs. The longer the distance covered, the higher the shipping costs.
Also, the accessibility of your pickup and delivery location is a determinant. Easily accessible areas that the shipping company regularly plies do not cost as much as more remote areas.
The flexibility of Pickup and Delivery
A flexible pickup and delivery date that suits your shipping company help reduce shipping costs. Hence, scheduling your pickup long before you need the car shipped is best. On the other hand, shipping on short notice increases your shipping costs.
Vehicle’s Condition and Specification
The operational state of the car is also important. For example, functional vehicles cost less to ship as they are mobile and can be easily moved. Conversely, non-operational cars that require assistance to be moved cost more.
The type of vehicle, its size, and weight impact shipping costs. Typically, smaller and lighter cars cost less as they take up less space in the carriage compared to larger and heavier vehicles.

New Hampshire has a properly managed, well-signed, and connected network of Interstate, United States, and state highways. Several route numbers are positioned with the same route numbers in neighboring states. The numbering of the state highways is random, with no general system as with U.S. and Interstate systems.
New Hampshire’s major routes include:
Interstate 89: It runs from the northwest, close to Concord to Lebanon on the Vermont border.
Interstate 93: It is the primary interstate highway in New Hampshire. It flows north from Salem (on the Massachusetts border) to Littleton (on the Vermont border). I-93 connects the more heavily populated southern part of the state to the Lakes Region and the White Mountains further to the North.
Interstate 95: It runs north-south along New Hampshire’s seacoast to the city of Portsmouth, then enters Maine.
Major US Highways:
U.S. Route 1 runs north-south along New Hampshire’s seacoast to the East of I-95, paralleling I-95.
U.S. Route 2 runs east-west through Coos County from Maine, crisscrossing Route 16. Then, it skirts the White Mountain National Forest through Jefferson and into Vermont.
U.S. Route 3 is the longest numbered route in the state. It is also the only one to run entirely through the state from the Massachusetts border to the Canada – U.S. border. It parallels the I-93. South of Manchester, it heads west, routed through Nashua. North of Franconia Notch, U.S. 3 heads east before stopping at the Canada–U.S. border.
Route 4 terminates at the Portsmouth Traffic Circle and runs east-west across the southern part of the state connecting Durham, Concord, Boscawen, and Lebanon.
Major State Route:
New Hampshire Route 16 is a major north-south highway in the eastern part of the state that generally parallels the border with Maine, ultimately entering Maine as Maine Route 16. The southernmost portion of NH 16 is a four-lane freeway co-signed with U.S. Route 4.
In the south of the state, Keene is connected to Manchester and the Seacoast by New Hampshire Route 101, a significant east-west road. NH 101 is a four-lane, limited-access road that connects Hampton Beach and I-95 and is located east of Manchester.
Intercity bus service is offered by Greyhound, Concord Coach, Vermont Translines, and Dartmouth Coach to and from locations throughout New Hampshire and distant locations beyond and in between.
There are 25 public-use airports in New Hampshire, three of which offer some scheduled commercial passenger service. Manchester-Boston Regional Airport in Manchester and Londonderry, which serves the Greater Boston metropolitan region, is the busiest airport by number.
Additionally, these airports run the best cargo services in the US to the rest of the nation.
The rivers Merrimack and Nashua come together in the state. To promote trade and freight movement through the port, the state’s Port Authority develops and manages the tidal waters.
These airports also operate cargo services, which are regarded as the best in the US.

I have shipped a couple of cars with these folks and let me tell you. They are the best in the game. Absolutely the best people to deal with. They make sure you have all the paperwork ready and they happen to have some of the best prices. I truly feel like a valued customer every time I call them. I feel I could call them with any problem and they would resolve it for me over the phone. I would recommend them and I plan on doing business with them in the future. I only hope that our relationship grows!! Keep up the good work!

Poor service. You'll pay for door to door service, but won't receive it. Your calls will be screened during your delivery time. Communications with the company and driver will be painful. Overall experience: hassle.

I needed to transport my car from Kentucky to Nevada. I requested a quote and received one via email. I then received a phone call from Bob M. Bob worked with me explaining the process for shipping a car and once I had sent in my paperwork he went to work finding a driver to transport my car. When the first driver's dispatcher called to let me know my driver's truck broke down, I immediately called Bob and explained the situation. He got to work finding a new driver for my car. Having Bob on my side, to arrange this transport was a huge relief to me and I was glad to know that things would be taken care of. My car arrived on time (actually it was there before I was expecting it) and l was very pleased with this company. I would highly recommend them and Bob M. to anyone looking to ship a vehicle safely and with no worries. Thank you.

I recently purchased a truck for my daughter in NJ and needed it transported to her in Florida. Bob was very easy and pleasant to work with. His price was competitive. The truck arrived (safely) exactly when and where they said it would, and the carrier was dependable and vey responsive. I would definitely use them again, and would recommend to anyone who needs a vehicle transported!

When I called, I was encouraged by the information Larry provided about your service and best ways to reach him if we had questions. Pricing was fair and in line with what we expected. He called immediately when a driver was available. The transport driver's service had good follow up too and were happy to share information when I called them. The transport driver had good follow up and was easy to reach by cell. He picked up and returned the car to us in a timely fashion with no issues. Overall, it was a positive experience!

We are military and we had to ship our 2nd vehicle from JBPH-Hickman, HI to Seattle, Wa. Using Ship-A-Car Inc was the best decision we could have made. They weren't the cheapest option, but you get what you pay for. Bob walked us through the entire process and he was constantly keeping us updated. We shipped our SUV 30 May 17, left Hawaii the very next day. Coming back stateside, we received some grave news. We had a death in the family. We now had to go on emergency leave, but our SUV was on its way to our new duty station. We had to leave right away and didn't know if we would be back in time for the delivery. Bob was an angel! He coordinated everything from our SUV being pick up at Seattle, Wa to the delivery being held without incurring extra charges on our part (Thank you Aaron!). With everything that was going on, it was refreshing for a change to have someone else watching out for us. He made the entire process easy and painless. We couldn't thank him enough. If we could give him 10 stars, we would. If we had to ship a vehicle again, I know exactly where to go, Ship-A-car Inc.
