What Last-Mile Delivery Insurance Requirements Apply in Idaho?

Idaho Code § 41-2519, effective July 1, 2015, requires primary automobile liability of $50,000 per person, $100,000 per incident, and $25,000 property damage while a driver is logged on and not engaged in a prearranged ride. On a prearranged ride the primary limit is $1 million for death, bodily injury, and property damage. Section 41-2518 defines the service as transportation of passengers and riders. It does not set a food, parcel, or property delivery limit.

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 Should You Watch for With Last-Mile Delivery Insurance in Idaho?

  • The Insurance Section Dates to July 1, 2015

    Section 41-2519 has carried the logged-on and on-ride split since July 1, 2015. A quote built on a later model-bill draft is not what this section states. Match the period to the statute: available on the network versus engaged in a prearranged ride. 1

  • Riders Are Not a Parcel Route

    Section 41-2518 speaks of passengers and riders. A delivery of food or packages is outside that definition, so the $1 million ride limit is not a cargo or goods-delivery minimum. Ask what contract, if any, requires cargo coverage, because this chapter does not. 2

  • Primary Coverage Has to Recognize the Use

    The insurance required by § 41-2519 is primary automobile liability that recognizes the driver is available for, or engaged in, the prearranged ride. A personal policy that is silent, or that excludes the use, does not satisfy the section by itself. The company, the driver, or both have to supply the primary limit. 1

Which Last-Mile Delivery Providers Have Idaho 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.

Reported tax rate. 1.5% of premium when Idaho is the home state for property and casualty coverage 5,6,8

Idaho’s surplus-lines tax is 1.5%. For property-and-casualty insurance other than workers’ compensation, if Idaho is the insured’s home state the full premium is taxed regardless of where covered risks are located; other lines follow the statutory allocation rule. Surplus-lines policies do not receive Idaho guaranty-association protection.

Questions to Ask Before You Buy Last-Mile Delivery in Idaho

  1. Does the policy recognize logged-on availability and the prearranged ride as § 41-2519 defines them?
  2. Who provides the primary $50,000/$100,000/$25,000 limit if the personal policy excludes the use?
  3. Are you applying the $1 million ride limit to a goods delivery that § 41-2518 does not describe?
