What Last-Mile Delivery Insurance Requirements Apply in Kentucky?

KRS 365.532, effective for motor-vehicle liability policies issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2025, requires coverage during both the delivery-available period and the delivery-service period of at least $50,000, $100,000, and $25,000, or the amounts in KRS 304.39-110(1)(a) if those are greater. The passenger-network rule is different: pre-trip acceptance under KRS 281.655 is $50,000/$100,000/$25,000, but a prearranged passenger ride uses the for-hire passenger table, $100,000/$300,000/$50,000 for a vehicle with seven seats. Do not put a goods delivery on that passenger table.

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.

Kentucky Last-Mile Delivery Insurance Requirements

Requirement	Details
Delivery available and delivery service	$50,000 / $100,000 / $25,000, or the KRS 304.39-110 amount if greater ³
Passenger TNC, before the ride	$50,000 / $100,000 / $25,000 ¹
Passenger TNC, prearranged ride, seven seats	$100,000 / $300,000 / $50,000 ¹

What to Watch for With Last-Mile Delivery in Kentucky

Both Delivery Periods Use the Same Floor
KRS 365.532 does not jump to $1 million when a delivery is accepted. The delivery-available period and the delivery-service period share the $50,000/$100,000/$25,000 floor, unless KRS 304.39-110(1)(a) is greater. That cross-referenced section was not the page opened here, so have the broker read it before you assume $50,000 is the higher number. ³
The Delivery Statute Attaches at Renewal
The Legislative Research Commission note on KRS 365.532 says the statute applies to policies issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2025. A policy issued before that date does not pick up the delivery-network floor until renewal. Ask which expiration date actually brings the statute onto the form. ³
A Passenger Ride Uses a Different Table
For a transportation network company, KRS 281.655 sends the prearranged ride to the passenger-vehicle minimums in subsection (4), which for seven seats is $100,000/$300,000/$50,000, not a flat $1 million. KRS 281.010 defines TNC service as prearranged passenger transportation. A goods delivery belongs in KRS 365.530 and 365.532, not on the seven-seat passenger line. ^1,^2,⁴

Who Regulates Insurance in Kentucky?

Surplus-Lines Tax and Stamping Office in Kentucky

Reported tax rate. 3% on Kentucky-home-state premiums and other premium consideration; separate 1.8% surcharge on eligible risks located in Kentucky, subject to statutory exceptions; applicable local-government premium tax may also apply ^8,^11,^9,^10,¹²

When Kentucky is the insured's home state, the state tax is 3% of premium and other consideration treated as premium; local-government premium taxes may also apply. A separate 1.8% surcharge generally applies to Kentucky risks, but state law exempts multistate nonadmitted risks and specified government and nonprofit premiums. The broker must make a diligent effort to place coverage with an admitted carrier before using surplus lines.

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

On this delivery policy, is the limit the $50,000/$100,000/$25,000 floor or the greater amount in KRS 304.39-110(1)(a)?
Was the policy issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2025, the date KRS 365.532 attaches?
Are any units still doing passenger trips that fall under the seven-seat table in KRS 281.655(4) instead?

Last-Mile Delivery Insurance in Kentucky: Frequently Asked Questions

Does Kentucky raise the delivery-network limit to $1 million once a delivery starts?

No. KRS 365.532 uses the same $50,000/$100,000/$25,000 floor, or the KRS 304.39-110 amount if greater, in both the delivery-available period and the delivery-service period. ³

What liability minimum applies to a Kentucky transportation-network ride in a seven-seat vehicle?

$100,000/$300,000/$50,000. KRS 281.655 points a prearranged ride at the passenger-vehicle table in subsection (4), not at a flat $1 million. ¹
