Courier & Last-Mile Insurance FAQs
Can I run Amazon Flex or medical courier routes on a Personal Auto policy?
No. Personal Auto policies contain a 'delivery for hire' exclusion; a claim while delivering packages or lab samples can be denied.
Do Sprinter vans under 10,001 lbs still need Commercial Auto?
Yes—any vehicle hauling goods for compensation requires Commercial Auto, even if it doesn't trigger FMCSA interstate weight thresholds.
What if my couriers are 1099 contractors driving their own cars?
Your company needs Hired & Non-Owned Auto (HNOA) to defend the business if a 1099 driver injures someone on a route.
Do I need Workers' Comp for delivery drivers in Texas?
Large DSP and medical courier contracts require statutory Workers' Comp (NCCI 7231), as Occupational Accident policies don't provide exclusive-remedy protection.
