What Last-Mile Delivery Insurance Requirements Apply in Minnesota?

Minn. Stat. § 65B.472 sets primary liability of $50,000 per person, $100,000 for two or more persons, and $30,000 property damage in period 1, when the driver is logged on and has not accepted a ride offer. In periods 2 and 3, proceeding to the pickup and transporting the rider, primary coverage is not less than $1.5 million, and the company must also maintain personal-injury reimbursement of not less than $1 million per incident at no cost to the driver. Section 181C.01 defines those periods around riders. The opened sections do not set a goods-delivery minimum.

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.

Minnesota Last-Mile Delivery Insurance Requirements

Requirement	Details
Period 1, logged on, no ride accepted	$50,000 / $100,000 / $30,000 ¹
Periods 2 and 3	$1.5 million primary liability, plus $1 million personal-injury reimbursement ¹

What to Watch for With Last-Mile Delivery in Minnesota

The Engaged Periods Are $1.5 Million
Do not quote a $1 million ride limit into Minnesota. Section 65B.472 sets not less than $1.5 million for death, injury, or property damage in periods 2 and 3. Period 1 stays at $50,000/$100,000/$30,000 and is not the engaged-period number. ¹
The Company Buys a Separate Driver Injury Policy
During periods 2 and 3 the transportation network company must maintain, at no cost to the driver, personal-injury reimbursement of not less than $1 million per incident. That policy is not the liability limit and it is not cargo coverage. Ask to see it named on the quote. ¹
The Period Definitions Follow a Rider
Section 181C.01 builds periods 1, 2, and 3 around a ride offer and a rider. A parcel acceptance is not those periods. Using the $1.5 million figure for a grocery route applies a rider statute to a trip it does not define. ²

Which Last-Mile Delivery Providers Have Minnesota 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.

Surplus-Lines Tax and Stamping Office in Minnesota

Reported tax rate. 3% of taxable gross premiums less return premiums, plus a 0.04% stamping fee on taxable premium when Minnesota is the insured's home state ^6,^9,^7,^8,¹⁰

When Minnesota is the insured's home state, 3% tax applies to taxable gross premiums less return premiums; the separate 0.04% stamping fee on taxable premium is paid by you to the broker. Minnesota requires a policy warning that insolvency loss payment by a nonadmitted insurer is not guaranteed. A diligent search generally applies unless a Minnesota-licensed producer unaffiliated with the surplus-lines broker refers the risk, which the statute deems unavailable from a licensed insurer; an exempt commercial purchaser also has a separate written-request route after the required admitted-market disclosure.

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

Is primary liability at least $1.5 million in periods 2 and 3, not $1 million?
Is the $1 million personal-injury reimbursement policy in force at no cost to the driver during those periods?
Is the trip a rider offer under § 181C.01, or a goods delivery outside those periods?

Last-Mile Delivery Insurance in Minnesota: Frequently Asked Questions

$1.5 million. Section 65B.472 sets that primary coverage for periods 2 and 3, and it adds a separate $1 million personal-injury policy. ¹
