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 to Watch for With Last-Mile Delivery in Nebraska

  • The Open Stage Is Not 50/100/25

    Nebraska's application-open minimum is $25,000 for death and personal injury per person and $50,000 per incident, with $25,000 property damage. A quote that imports another state's $50,000/$100,000 bodily-injury floor is not this stage. The $1 million figure starts at the engaged stage and continues while passengers are on board. 1,2

  • Personal Coverage Can Drop While You Are Available

    The Department of Insurance ridesharing alert says personal auto insurance typically excludes business use or when drivers are available for hire, and that personal coverage may be affected whether or not you are on the clock. The application-open stage is exactly that available period. Read the exclusion before log-on, not after a crash. 4

  • The Stages Move a Passenger

    Section 75-323 defines the service and the prearranged ride as transportation of a passenger. The three insurance stages do not describe pickup of food or parcels. Do not price a goods route off the $1 million passengers-on-board stage. 3

Which Last-Mile Delivery Providers Have Nebraska 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 Nebraska

Reported tax rate. 3% of gross premium charged, less return premiums 8,9,10,11

Nebraska’s 3% tax applies to gross premium charged less return premium when the risk is Nebraska’s home-state placement; fees paid to the carrier are taxable, while broker-retained or third-party fees are not. A Nebraska-licensed surplus-lines producer ordinarily must complete due diligence, while exempt-commercial-purchaser provisions permit limited exceptions; federal ECP status alone does not erase the disclosure and subsequent written-request conditions for the federal search waiver. Nebraska policies state that its Property and Liability Guaranty Association will not cover surplus-lines claims.

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