HomeFlorida last-mile delivery Insurance
Florida last-mile delivery, in plain terms

Florida is one of the largest last-mile delivery markets in the country, with dense routes across Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville. The state registers commercial vehicles and sets its own financial-responsibility and commercial-auto rules, and your delivery-service-partner program sets the certificate limits on top. Here is what that means for your coverage.

FLHSMV registration and financial responsibility

Florida registers and titles commercial vehicles through the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), with commercial vehicles registered by weight in the business name. Florida is a no-fault state for personal auto, but commercial and for-hire vehicles carry their own financial-responsibility and liability rules — and a delivery operation is a for-hire use, not ordinary personal driving.

Commercial-vehicle insurance rules and weight tiers

Florida applies commercial-motor-vehicle insurance requirements that scale with weight, on top of any program requirement:

  • Commercial registration: vehicles used in business are registered by weight class through FLHSMV; heavier vehicles carry higher fees and additional requirements.
  • Commercial-vehicle liability: Florida’s commercial motor vehicle insurance requirements under Fla. Stat. §627.7415 set minimum combined bodily-injury, property-damage, and liability coverage that scales with vehicle weight for commercial vehicles operated on Florida roads.
  • Driver records: proper license class for the vehicle and clean MVRs are standard underwriting expectations on a delivery fleet.

What your insurance has to satisfy in Florida

Florida’s commercial minimums are a floor, not the operative number — your delivery-service-partner program sets the limits that actually clear onboarding. In practice that means a $1M combined single limit on commercial auto, $1M/$2M general liability, motor truck cargo, hired & non-owned auto, and workers’ comp, with the program named as additional insured. We build the certificate to your program’s requirements and confirm the commercial-vehicle filings your operation needs in Florida.

Florida last-mile delivery — Frequently Asked

Questions Florida operators ask.

Florida is a no-fault state — does that change my delivery insurance?
Florida’s no-fault rules apply to personal auto, but a last-mile delivery operation is a for-hire commercial use, not ordinary personal driving, so it follows the commercial-vehicle rules instead. Florida sets commercial motor vehicle insurance requirements under Fla. Stat. §627.7415 that scale with vehicle weight, and those are a floor — your delivery-service-partner program sets the limits that actually matter, typically a $1,000,000 combined single limit plus general liability, cargo, hired & non-owned auto, and workers’ comp. We structure to the program requirement and confirm the commercial filings your fleet needs.
How do I register a delivery van for commercial use in Florida?
Commercial vehicles in Florida are registered and titled through the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), with registration in the business name and fees set by the vehicle’s weight class. Heavier vehicles carry higher fees and additional requirements. The registration is separate from your insurance, but the two are linked — your delivery-service-partner program will require a certificate of insurance regardless of how the vehicle is registered, and we build that COI to match the program you’re contracting with.
Why won’t my regular auto policy cover last-mile delivery?
Personal auto policies and most standard business-auto policies specifically exclude carrying goods or passengers “for hire.” Last-mile delivery is a for-hire operation, so insurers treat it as a separate, higher-risk class that needs a commercial auto policy written for delivery use. On top of the exclusion, delivery carries exposures standard carriers avoid: constant high-mileage stop-and-go routes, frequent door-to-door stops, and rotating driver rosters. Running delivery on a personal or standard policy risks a flatly denied claim — and it won’t satisfy the certificate-of-insurance requirements a delivery-service-partner program imposes before it lets you start.
What insurance does an Amazon DSP or FedEx ISP program require?
Requirements are set by your contract and can change, so always confirm the figures in your current agreement — but the published norms are consistent. Amazon’s Delivery Service Partner (DSP) program typically requires commercial auto liability at a $1,000,000 combined single limit, general liability at $1,000,000 per occurrence / $2,000,000 aggregate, workers’ compensation at statutory limits with employer’s liability, and a commercial umbrella (commonly $5,000,000), with Amazon named as additional insured using specific endorsement language. FedEx Ground Independent Service Provider (ISP) contractors are likewise required to carry commercial auto liability, general liability, workers’ compensation / employer’s liability, and cargo coverage at the levels stated in the FedEx Ground Contractor Operating Agreement. We build the certificate to match the program you’re contracting with — confirm your specific limits in your agreement.
