[Human-readable page](https://spot.insure/coverage/last-mile-delivery/new-mexico) # Last-mile delivery insurance in New Mexico The enrolled 2016 House Bill 168 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 on a prearranged ride, and $1 million on a prearranged ride. The ride runs until the passengers exit. The introduced bill's purpose section is safety and access for rides provided by transportation network company drivers, not delivery of goods. The final bill text that opened does not print a calendar effective date.[^1][^2] **Coverage:** [Last-mile delivery](/coverage/last-mile-delivery) · [New Mexico](/coverage/states/new-mexico) ## 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](/coverage/last-mile-delivery). ## New Mexico Requirements | Requirement | Details | | --- | --- | | Logged on, not on a prearranged ride | $50,000 / $100,000 / $25,000[^1] | | Prearranged ride | $1 million[^1] | ## What to Watch for in New Mexico ### The Ride Lasts Until Passengers Exit The financial-responsibility section keeps the $1 million primary limit on through the prearranged ride, and the ride continues until the passengers exit. A quote that drops back to $50,000/$100,000/$25,000 while a passenger is still in the car does not match that period. Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage is also required to the extent of Section 66-5-301.[^1] ### The Act's Purpose Is Rides The introduced bill states its purpose as rides provided by transportation network company drivers. The financial-responsibility amounts in that bill text match the enrolled bill's $50,000/$100,000/$25,000 and $1 million split. Neither text is a goods-delivery schedule.[^2][^1] ### Ask for the Operative Date The final bill text that opened does not state a calendar effective date on the insurance section. Confirm when the Public Regulation Commission began enforcing the act before you treat a 2016 PDF as the only version that matters. The dollar split itself is the one printed in the enrolled bill.[^1] ## Who Regulates Insurance in New Mexico **New Mexico Office of Superintendent of Insurance.** New Mexico OSI licenses insurance producers and agencies, oversees insurers and reviews insurance forms and rates. Its Consumer Assistance Bureau accepts insurance complaints, including complaints involving commercial and business insurance.[^3][^4][^5][^6] - [Regulator website](https://osi.state.nm.us/en/) - [License lookup](https://www.osi.state.nm.us/en/license-status-verification/) - [File a complaint](https://osi.state.nm.us/en/complaints/) - Phone: 855-427-5674 ### Surplus-Lines Tax and Stamping Office **Reported tax rate:** 3.003% of taxable surplus-lines premium (verify allocation and current return instructions) New Mexico’s surplus-lines tax is listed as 3.003% of taxable premium in the state’s surplus-lines tax-return instructions; confirm current allocation and filing treatment with the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department because its current program page distinguishes broker-placed surplus lines from independently procured insurance. Surplus-lines coverage is issued by an unauthorized insurer and is outside ordinary state guaranty-association protection; do not treat the separate self-procured tax as the surplus-lines broker tax.[^7][^8][^9][^10] ## Providers With Documented State Licenses No provider in Spot’s research documents both a state license record and this coverage line. This does not establish that providers are unlicensed. [Check the regulator’s license lookup](https://www.osi.state.nm.us/en/license-status-verification/) and confirm availability with a provider when requesting a quote. ## Questions to Ask Before You Buy in New Mexico 1. Does the $1 million limit stay on until the passengers exit, as the enrolled bill describes the ride? 2. Is uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage included to the extent of Section 66-5-301? 3. Are you applying this rider act to a goods delivery the purpose section does not mention? ## Last-Mile Delivery in New Mexico: FAQ ### What limit does New Mexico's 2016 transportation-network act require during a prearranged ride? $1 million. Enrolled House Bill 168 sets that primary automobile liability for death, bodily injury, and property damage.[^1] ### Does that New Mexico act set a goods-delivery minimum? No. The introduced bill's purpose is rides by transportation network company drivers, and the enrolled insurance section follows that ride.[^2] ## Last-Mile Delivery in Other States - [Alabama](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/alabama) - [Alaska](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/alaska) - [Arizona](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/arizona) - [Arkansas](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/arkansas) - [California](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/california) - [Colorado](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/colorado) - [Connecticut](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/connecticut) - [Delaware](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/delaware) - [District of Columbia](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/district-of-columbia) - [Florida](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/florida) - [Georgia](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/georgia) - [Hawaii](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/hawaii) - [Idaho](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/idaho) - [Illinois](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/illinois) - [Indiana](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/indiana) - [Iowa](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/iowa) - [Kansas](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/kansas) - [Kentucky](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/kentucky) - [Louisiana](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/louisiana) - [Maine](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/maine) - [Maryland](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/maryland) - [Massachusetts](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/massachusetts) - [Michigan](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/michigan) - [Minnesota](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/minnesota) - [Mississippi](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/mississippi) - [Missouri](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/missouri) - [Montana](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/montana) - [Nebraska](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/nebraska) - [Nevada](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/nevada) - [New Hampshire](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/new-hampshire) - [New Jersey](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/new-jersey) - [New York](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/new-york) - [North Carolina](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/north-carolina) - [North Dakota](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/north-dakota) - [Ohio](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/ohio) - [Oklahoma](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/oklahoma) - [Oregon](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/oregon) - [Pennsylvania](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/pennsylvania) - [Rhode Island](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/rhode-island) - [South Carolina](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/south-carolina) - [South Dakota](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/south-dakota) - [Tennessee](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/tennessee) - [Texas](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/texas) - [Utah](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/utah) - [Vermont](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/vermont) - [Virginia](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/virginia) - [Washington](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/washington) - [West Virginia](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/west-virginia) - [Wisconsin](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/wisconsin) - [Wyoming](/coverage/last-mile-delivery/wyoming) [Other Coverage in New Mexico](/coverage/states/new-mexico) ## Sources [^1]: [HB 168 final, Transportation Network Company Services Act](https://www.nmlegis.gov/Sessions/16%20Regular/final/HB0168.pdf) — New Mexico Legislature; Section 2 definitions; Section 8 financial responsibility; Section 10 automobile insurance provisions.
