What Last-Mile Delivery Insurance Requirements Apply in Florida?

As of September 28, 2026, §627.7415’s then-operative schedule sets $50,000/$100,000/$300,000 combined liability bands for commercial motor vehicles at 26,000/35,000/44,000 pounds. Chapter 2026-39, §46, takes effect October 1, 2026, and extends the amended section to qualified motor vehicles defined in §§207.002 and 320.01. FDOT separately excludes city pickup-and-delivery vehicles from IRP apportionment. These are vehicle/registration distinctions, not proof of cargo or delivery-use coverage.

What Is Last-Mile Delivery Insurance?

Last-mile delivery insurance is not one standard policy: vehicle liability, vehicle damage and cargo protection can be separate. If your staff deliver orders in company, rented or personal vehicles, check each vehicle, cargo and worker-injury exposure in the quote. Read the national Last-mile delivery guide.

Florida Last-Mile Delivery Insurance Requirements

Requirement	Details
Heavy-vehicle liability bands	Through September 30, 2026, the 2025 statute lists $50,000 at 26,000–34,999 pounds, $100,000 at 35,000–43,999, and $300,000 at 44,000+ for covered commercial motor vehicles.

What to Watch for With Last-Mile Delivery in Florida

Don’t apply the heavy schedule to every van
The 2025 statute’s listed commercial-vehicle bands begin at 26,000 pounds; from October 1, 2026 the enacted amendment also includes qualified motor vehicles. A lighter vehicle outside one statutory band is not thereby free from every legal duty, nor does personal insurance necessarily accept delivery. ^1,³
IRP treatment is not insurance treatment
FDOT excludes city pickup-and-delivery vehicles from IRP apportionment. That is a registration distinction, not a waiver of auto liability or cargo protection. ^2,¹
Registration and auto liability do not value packages
IRP route treatment is a registration question; it does not set cargo value or transit protection. Quote the highest load, custody period, loading/unloading and handoff separately. ^2,³

Which Last-Mile Delivery Providers Have Florida License Records?

No provider in our research has both a state license record and a listing for this coverage line. This does not establish that providers are unlicensed. Check the regulator’s license lookup and confirm availability with a provider when requesting a quote.

Who Regulates Insurance in Florida?

Florida Office of Insurance Regulation

The Florida Office of Insurance Regulation licenses and regulates insurance companies and reviews rates and forms. The Department of Financial Services separately licenses insurance agents and handles consumer insurance complaints; its resource page links to both state license searches. ^4,^5,⁶
