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.

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.

Thank you Dana. I had contacted multiple companies on shipping a 1965 Mustang from Alabama to Arizona. And looking at all the reviews I decided to contact ship a car. After a previous bad experience with another company I was very nervous about shipping this car. Dana was extremely professional and explained the process and how their drivers are rated. I had a quick turn around on the shipping the car was picked up friday and arrived Sunday. I couldn’t be happier with the company and the driver Albert. Would definitely use again.

Willie D. assisted me on a short notice request to have my two vehicles, a Honda Odyssey and a Hyundai Elantra shipped from Santee, CA to Round Rock, Tx. I initially had set-up a request with another company a month prior , told them my situation and the day I needed it due to my wife's and my job that would require transportation. They told me they can deliver on the requested date. The day prior of the initial pick-up, I received an email that changed the pick-up to 3 days later and a possible whole week before the car would make it. They told me that I never specified the need and that they told me that they said the pick-up could be 3 days prior. They had a whole month to find a transport company to fit that transport request. I cancelled with them, called Willie D. at ship a car inc and he had me set-up with a pick-up day the same day. He was fast, efficient and had great communication the whole way. I would recommend him and also Ship a car inc for anyone moving out of state. I also would like to thank Carlos at Carlos Transport who Willie D. found as he was very professional, on time and delivered on the day needed. Very grateful to both of them. Relieved a lot of stress on our out of state move.

Excellent service. Went above and beyond to find transport the same day. Kept thorough follow up all through the process and helped with the online contract. Followed up with time that driver should arrive and kept in touch until delivery was complete. Even the driver called when delivery was complete. Thank You.

I was searching for an Auto Transport company to ship my son's car from Lake Forest, IL to San Diego, CA. He is a Marine and stationed there. From start to finish Ship A Car worked with me to quote a very competitive price. They were very patient as I changed the drop off date a few times because it is very difficult to predict my son's schedule. He was beginning his new MOS with the Marines and he had not received his orders for his shift. I changed the drop off again, from Thursday to Friday when he mentioned that Thursdays he had specific duties and would not be able to leave the base to get his car. It was complicated because for obvious reasons, the delivery truck can't simply drive onto the US Military base. So, my son asked if they could drop the car off at a nearby Target close to the base and provided the address and a date and time that he would be allowed to leave the base. Ship A Car worked with me through all of these logistics. They picked up the car when they agreed and dropped it off as agreed, in perfect condition. My Son, thought this was a better deal than buying a new car at this point. My understanding is that the Marines on the base need some form of transportation. And although my son needed a car, he didn't feel he needed to purchase a brand new car at this time. I can't say enough about the wonderful and patient customer service for Ship A Car. Sam L., the main customer service agent with whom I spoke most frequently, was so awesome! He even called me one evening - after I sent an email changing the drop off logistics - yet again - from his cell phone. He was home having dinner and stopped to deal with my issues! The drivers, Jesus and Saul were extremely professional and courteous as well! I give this company an A+!!!! My son called me and asked me for the contact details of Ship A Car because one of his Marine mates said he would like to do the same thingship his car from his home base; also in IL to California. Thank you again Sam and Ship A Car for all you did for my son, my marine, and our military men and women!
