What Last-Mile Delivery Insurance Requirements Apply in Oklahoma?

Enrolled House Bill 1614 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 act says it is effective July 1, 2015, and it also contains an emergency clause. The ride is a passenger trip. The Insurance Department tells drivers to ask their insurer first, because personal auto insurance typically excludes liability when a personal car transports people for a fee.

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 Oklahoma

  • Read the July 1 Date and the Emergency Clause

    House Bill 1614 states an effective date of July 1, 2015, and it also contains an emergency clause. Ask the broker which one controls the policy you are buying if a form still cites a later voluntary date. The limits themselves are the logged-on split and the $1 million ride. 1

  • Ask the Insurer Before the Driver Signs Up

    The Insurance Department's ride-sharing page says to talk to the insurance company before signing up as a ride-share driver. Personal auto insurance typically excludes liability when a personal car transports people for a fee. That exclusion can apply as soon as the use is paid passenger transportation, which is the logged-on period. 2

  • The Exclusion the Department Describes Is People for a Fee

    The Department's warning is about transporting people for a fee, matching a passenger ride. It is not a cargo limit for packages. A goods delivery is outside the enrolled act's passenger trip, so do not treat the $1 million ride limit as a parcel minimum. 2,1
