What Last-Mile Delivery Insurance Requirements Apply in Oregon?
The 2023 Oregon Revised Statutes text does not set separate liability dollar limits for a logged-on period and a prearranged ride. ORS 742.520 requires a transportation network company to provide a motor-vehicle liability policy with personal injury protection while the driver is providing passenger transportation, and ORS 742.524 lists medical expenses of not more than $15,000 among those PIP benefits. ORS 742.518 defines a private passenger motor vehicle as one not used as a public or livery conveyance, and it excludes utility and panel-type vehicles used for wholesale or retail delivery other than farming.
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 Oregon?
Do Not Import a 50/100/25 Liability Split
Bills that printed $50,000/$100,000/$25,000 and $1 million transportation-network liability limits did not become that schedule. The enacted ORS sections that opened require a liability policy with personal injury protection during passenger transportation, and they state PIP medical expenses of not more than $15,000. Ask the broker for the liability limit in the form, because the statute text that opened does not set one. 1,2
Retail Delivery Is Outside the Private-Passenger Definition
ORS 742.518(8) says a private passenger motor vehicle is not a public or livery conveyance, and it treats certain utility, pickup, sedan-delivery, and panel trucks as private passenger vehicles only when they are not used for wholesale or retail delivery other than farming. A grocery or parcel route can fall outside that definition. Do not assume a personal-auto PIP grant covers the delivery. 1
The PIP Duty Is Passenger Transportation
ORS 742.518(12) defines a transportation network company as a digital application whose express purpose is to connect a prospective passenger with a driver. The PIP duty covers the driver, passengers, and pedestrians struck by the vehicle while the driver is providing those passenger services. It is not a food-delivery insurance requirement. 1
Which Last-Mile Delivery Providers Have Oregon 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.
Who Regulates Insurance in Oregon?

Oregon Division of Financial Regulation
DFR handles complaints about most insurance lines and provides Oregon license checks for agents, agencies, and insurers. You can use its consumer complaint form if an insurer or agent is not following Oregon law or rules. 3,4,5
Surplus-Lines Tax and Stamping Office in Oregon
Reported tax rate. 2% of Oregon-home-state gross premiums, plus 0.3% on premium or fees for fire marshal 6,7,8,9
For Oregon-home-state risks, the surplus-lines licensee must collect a 2% tax on gross premiums and a 0.3% fire-marshal tax on premium or fees, in addition to the premium. Oregon requires the policy to warn that losses will not be paid by the state guaranty fund; the exempt-commercial-purchaser search exception requires admitted-market disclosure and a written request.
Questions to Ask Before You Buy Last-Mile Delivery in Oregon
- What liability limit is on the form, given that the opened ORS text does not set a logged-on versus on-trip split?
- Does the policy provide the personal injury protection ORS 742.520 requires during passenger transportation, including medical expenses up to $15,000?
- Is the vehicle used for wholesale or retail delivery, which ORS 742.518(8) keeps out of the private-passenger definition?
