Last-mile delivery insurance in Kansas

K.S.A. 8-2708 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. During a prearranged ride the primary limit is $1 million. K.S.A. 8-2702 defines that ride as transportation of passengers for compensation. The opened sections do not impose those amounts on delivery of food, parcels, or other goods. 1,2

What Is Last-Mile Delivery?

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 in Kansas

  • The Ride Is Passenger Transportation

    K.S.A. 8-2702 frames the prearranged ride as transportation of passengers for compensation. Using the $1 million figure for a parcel or restaurant delivery imports a passenger rule into a trip the statute does not describe. Keep the passenger limit on passenger trips. 2

  • Availability and the Ride Are Priced Apart

    Under K.S.A. 8-2708 the logged-on, not-yet-engaged period stays at $50,000/$100,000/$25,000. The $1 million limit is the engaged prearranged ride. A policy that starts at $1 million only when a passenger sits down can miss the acceptance window the statute already treats as the ride. 1

  • The Coverage Has to Be Primary

    The statute calls for primary automobile liability, not an excess endorsement that waits for a personal policy to pay first. If the personal policy excludes transportation-network use, the primary limit still has to be in force from the company, the driver, or both. 1

Who Regulates Insurance in Kansas

Kansas Insurance Department

Surplus-lines tax and stamping office

Reported tax rate: 3% of gross premiums less returned premiums for surplus-lines insureds whose home state is Kansas; the 3% rate applies beginning with taxable year January 1, 2024 For surplus-lines business whose insured's home state is Kansas, the licensed agent must collect and pay a 3% tax on gross premiums less returned premiums; the 3% rate applies beginning with the taxable year starting January 1, 2024. For an exempt commercial purchaser, the surplus-lines producer need not file the signed diligent-search statement after disclosing that admitted-market insurance may or may not be available and may provide greater protection and oversight, then receiving the purchaser's subsequent written request. 6,7

  2. What limit applies while the driver is logged on and has not yet engaged in the ride?
