What Last-mile delivery insurance Requirements Apply in Michigan?

MCL 257.2123, effective March 21, 2017, requires residual third-party 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, plus the personal-protection and property-protection insurance in Insurance Code chapter 31. On a prearranged ride the residual liability limit is a $1 million combined single limit, again with those no-fault coverages. The definitions in MCL 257.2102 limit the service to transporting passengers. The Department of Insurance and Financial Services says insurers can exclude TNC driving from personal auto coverage.

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.

Michigan Last-Mile Delivery Insurance Requirements

Requirement	Details
Logged on, not on a prearranged ride	$50,000 / $100,000 / $25,000 residual liability, plus required no-fault coverages ¹
Prearranged ride	$1 million combined single limit, plus required no-fault coverages ¹

What to Watch for With Last-Mile Delivery in Michigan

No-Fault Coverages Stay On in Both Periods
The residual liability numbers are not the whole requirement. MCL 257.2123 also requires personal protection insurance and property protection insurance under chapter 31 while logged on and while on the ride. A liability-only quote that omits those no-fault coverages does not meet the section. ¹
Personal Policies May Drop TNC Driving
The Department says insurers can continue to exclude driving for a transportation network company from personal auto coverage, citing MCL 500.3017. If that exclusion is on the policy, the residual limits and the no-fault coverages have to come from the company coverage as soon as the driver is logged on. ³
The Section Transports Passengers
MCL 257.2102 defines the prearranged ride as transportation of passengers. A food or parcel delivery is not that ride. Do not treat the $1 million combined limit, or the no-fault stack, as a goods-delivery mandate. ²
