What Last-Mile Delivery Insurance Requirements Apply in Georgia?

House Bill 529 revises O.C.G.A. § 33-1-24 with two automobile schedules: (a)(5)(A) is $50,000 for one person and $100,000 for all persons, plus $50,000 for property of others excluding cargo, and (a)(5)(B) is $1 million for death, personal injury, and property damage, plus at least $1 million uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage. The enrolled act points those schedules at cross-referenced periods and does not say which one is logged-on versus on a trip. Driver Services Rule 375-5-5 defines a ride-share network service as connecting passengers, so do not treat either schedule as a parcel-cargo filing.

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.

What to Watch for With Last-Mile Delivery in Georgia

  • The Act Does Not Label the Periods

    The enrolled bill assigns the two schedules to subparagraphs (a)(5)(A) and (a)(5)(B) without reprinting which subparagraph is the logged-on period and which is the trip. Ask the broker to open the current cross-reference before you assume the $1 million schedule starts at acceptance. Do not guess the mapping from another state's statute. 1

  • The Property Figure Excludes Cargo

    Schedule (a)(5)(A) states the $50,000 property amount as loss of or damage to property of others, excluding cargo. A grocery or parcel load is not inside that property figure. Buy cargo coverage separately if the shipper requires it. 1

  • Ride-Share Rules Connect Passengers

    Rule 375-5-5 defines a ride-share network service as connecting passengers for prearranged transportation for hire or donation. A food or package route is not that definition. Do not buy the passenger schedules as if they were a delivery-network mandate. 2
