Services
Every independent insurance agency says they are different; we all boast about having multiple insurance companies to choose from; we all brag about the top notch service we provide; and many brag about how long they have been in business. While it's true that we offer multiple, carefully chosen insurance companies, and we do offer top notch service.
Chris founded Advantage Insurance in 1992 and has served as its President ever since. In his 30+ years in the insurance business, Chris has earned his Certified Insurance Counselor (CIC) designation, his MBA in Business Administration, and has sat on various boards and committees including Northeast Delta Dental's Customer Advisory Board.
Our agency provides quality insurance choices for families and individuals throughout the state of New Hampshire. We specialize in finding the right coverage for your needs. Whether you are just graduating college, getting married, starting a family, sending a child off to college, or planning your retirement, we can help you find the perfect insurance policy.
As an independent insurance agency, we work with many insurance companies and can help you compare protection and prices to find the coverage and value that's right for you. We're your local agents - real, live members of the New Hampshire community, so we know how to get you the right insurance for your auto or truck.
Liability coverage, also known as Bodily Injury and Property Damage (BI/PD), includes protection for any injuries sustained by someone else as well as damage to another person's property if you're responsible (liable) for the accident. Medical Payments coverage, also known as Medpay, can help pay for injuries of drivers or passengers regardless of fault.

We can't say enough about Avatar Advantage Insurance. Linda made sure we had the right insurance policies and the right amount of coverage to ensure we would be properly protected. The customer service was fantastic - responsive, courteous, and knowledgeable. They know their business and provide superior service!

I reached out for a quote and heard back quickly. Terry communicated with me via phone and email which was very helpful as email is generally the best way to contact me given my busy schedule. She was consistently friendly and helpful and provided thorough easy-to-understand directions when filling out my application for auto insurance. She got me a great deal. I am very pleased and highly recommend!

The team at Advantage Insurance have served our family for our insurance needs (home & auto) for many years. They are quick to evaluate insurance premiums, especially if there are any cost increases, and equally fast to come up with available and appropriate alternatives. Founder Chris Woods and his wife Terry, are salt of the earth and wonderful people, exemplifying kindness in a world that needs more of it. Highly recommend!

I have been dealing with advantage insurance for years and I’m so glad to have their help. Both Linda and Terry and absolute rock stars when it comes to any questions or needs that I have. I use them for my cars, home and a very important jewelry policy that I almost had to use but luckily I found what I lost. They are so responsive and when I call with a question they either know the answer right away or find the answer quickly and get right back to me. I love using them they look out for you. Keep up the great work

I was recently looking for a new insurance agency and stumbled upon Advantage Insurance. When I called, I spoke to Linda who was professional and friendly. She worked quickly to help me bundle and setup my new policies (and actually saved me money). She also spent time with me explaining the different lines on my policy and answering any questions I had. No other insurance agency has ever done this for me before. Advantage Insurance is reliable, responsive and detail oriented which is something I look for in good service. I'm so happy I found this agency and I highly recommend them.

I've worked with many insurance agencies and Advantage is far and wide the best! They not only offer the best companies to choose from but the associates ALWAYS go the extra mile to make sure you get the best pricing. Further and most important, they look out for your well-being by making sure you're covered with the right type of insurance for your needs.
And if you don't know what you need they will work with you to figure it out and explain each line item in detail. Their awesome!
The shear number of combined years of insurance experience really shows, especially when you need them!!

We worked with a large brokerage house/national firm as I had a friend who sold our local agency to them. We found they didn't have a lot of knowledge about details of coverage for our specific situation. We own a rental property and had asked our agency (at the time) if we needed a certain additional coverage and they said no.
When Chris and Terry of Advantage quoted the coverage he went through every line item, explained what it was and if why we needed certain coverage levels/minimums.
It turns out our previous agent didn't know about the line of coverage needed for rental owners and protecting

Chris took the time to show me where I was potentially exposed with my existing policies, went above and beyond to get me the best coverages at the best rates, all while providing quick access and timely answers to my questions. Not only are Chris, Terry and the staff at Advantage great at what they do, they are top shelf people as well. Very happy I made the switch!
