What Affects Rates in Concord

  • I-93 carries heavy commuter traffic south to Manchester and north to the Lakes Region, with congestion near Exit 14 and Exit 15 during rush hours. I-89 sees regular traffic heading west to Lebanon and Hanover. Rear-end collisions spike during winter commutes when black ice forms on elevated sections.
  • Downtown Concord near Main Street and the State House sees higher theft and vandalism claims, particularly for vehicles parked near the transit center. Suburban neighborhoods along Heights and Penacook see fewer claims but more deer strikes, especially on Route 106 and Shaker Road.
  • Concord averages 60 inches of snow annually, with February and March bringing the heaviest accumulations. Route 3 and I-393 experience frequent accidents during nor'easters. Comprehensive coverage claims for ice damage and plow collisions are common throughout the Capital Region.
  • Nearly 20% of Concord's workforce is employed by the state government, with concentrated commutes to the State House complex and the Department of Safety building. Peak traffic on I-393 and Route 9 occurs weekdays between 7:30–8:30 AM and 4:30–5:30 PM.
  • Deer strikes are a persistent issue on Routes 9, 106, and 202, particularly during dawn and dusk hours in fall. Claims data shows elevated comprehensive coverage usage in the Penacook and East Concord areas where wooded corridors meet residential zones.
