Rising risks in last mile and final mile logistics

From package theft to liability accidents, today’s delivery landscape presents more challenges than ever. A single incident — such as a driver auto incident and/or injury, lost cargo, or on-premises accident — can cost thousands. Delivery insurance helps protect your fleet, contractors, and business reputation from these financial risks.

Who needs last mile & final mile delivery coverage?

  • Small fleets with both asset and non-asset exposure: Courier owners balancing multiple roles (operations, HR, accounting) who need reliable, budget-friendly coverage that encompasses liabilities from their fleet assets as well as exposures derived from independent contractor drivers.
  • Large fleets & enterprises: CFOs and risk managers focused on cost savings, compliance, and reducing liability exposure wherever possible.
  • Gig and e-commerce providers: Businesses leveraging 1099 drivers, as well as e-bikes, by utilizing app-based platforms to deliver timely merchandise to the end consumers.

Tailored insurance options for your delivery operations

Fleet auto liability & physical damage

Protects owned, leased, and long term rented vehicles with scalable options — including coverage options for courier vans, delivery trucks as well as tractors. Coverage enhancements can include up to $2M in primary coverage limits with programs offerings encompassing flat rated annual premiums as well as pay as you go mileage/trip usage platforms.

Cargo loss, theft & warehouse liability

Covers motor truck cargo, including protection against theft, including first party theft/dishonesty, spoilage, and cyber hijacking from potential cyber related breaches.

General liability and on-premises protection

From crossing the customer’s threshold to assembling goods indoors, this coverage ensures your business is protected where accidents can happen.

Hired & non-owned auto liability (HNOA)

Ideal for businesses using rental fleets as well as 1099 subcontractor drivers. With flexible, pay-as-you-go reporting, you only pay for the coverage you need.

Additional insurance coverages

  • Workers’ compensation: Protects your employees from the financial impact of work-related injuries or illnesses. For delivery businesses, workers’ compensation covers medical expenses, lost wages, and rehabilitation.
  • Occupational accident for 1099 drivers / contingent liability: Provides medical and disability benefits for independent contractors injured on the job. Contingent liability coverage helps protect businesses from potential legal challenges around driver classification.
  • Errors & omissions (E&O) for specialized deliveries: Covers claims of negligence, mistakes, or delays that may cause financial harm to clients. This ensures specialized deliveries — such as medical or high-value cargo — are backed by strong risk protection.
  • Crime insurance & employee dishonesty: Protects against losses from theft, fraud, or dishonest acts committed by employees or contractors. Critical for businesses handling high-value goods and sensitive deliveries.
  • Umbrella and excess liability towers: Provides higher liability limits above your existing policies, ensuring protection against catastrophic losses that exceed standard coverage.
  • While under dispatch auto insurance: Designed for the gig economy, this coverage protects independent drivers while actively engaged in a delivery. It fills the gaps where personal auto insurance may not apply.
