What Last-Mile Delivery Insurance Requirements Apply in Maine?

The Bureau of Insurance tells drivers to review a personal auto policy before giving rides through a transportation network company or making deliveries for hire, and it specifically names pizza, grocery, and other deliveries as uses to check. Most personal policies, the Bureau says, exclude business use. Separately, 24-A M.R.S. § 7303 sets $50,000 per person, $100,000 per incident, and $25,000 property damage while logged on and not on a prearranged ride, and $1 million on a prearranged ride. Section 7302 defines that ride around passengers.

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 Maine?

The Bureau Names Pizza and Grocery Delivery
The Bureau of Insurance page on business use of a personal auto says that if you use the vehicle to make pizza, grocery, or other deliveries, you should review the policy first. That warning is not limited to passenger rides. A personal policy can exclude the delivery even when no transportation-network statute applies to the package. ³
The $1 Million Figure Is the Passenger Ride
Section 7303 moves from $50,000/$100,000/$25,000 to $1 million when the driver is engaged in a prearranged ride. Section 7302 defines that ride around passengers and riders. A grocery drop the Bureau already told you to review is not automatically the $1 million passenger period. ^1,²
Business Use Is the Personal-Policy Problem
The Bureau says most personal automobile policies exclude business use, including renting the vehicle out, giving TNC rides, and making deliveries for hire. Ask for the endorsement that gives the use back, or for a commercial policy, before the driver logs into a delivery app. ³
