What Last-mile delivery insurance Requirements Apply in New Hampshire?

RSA 359-U:8 requires primary motor-vehicle 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.

RSA 376-A, an earlier transportation-network chapter, is marked repealed.

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 New Hampshire

  • The Ride Limit Is $300,000

    RSA 359-U:8 does not use a $1 million engaged-ride limit. The prearranged-ride minimum is $300,000. A quote copied from another state's model bill will overshoot or, worse, a broker may think $300,000 is only the logged-on number. It is the ride. 1

  • Do Not Quote the Repealed Chapter

    RSA 376-A is marked repealed. The insurance duty that is open is RSA 359-U:8, with the July 1, 2023 source note on the chapter. Ask the broker to cite 359-U, not a form still labeled 376-A. 3

  • The Chapter Moves Passengers

    RSA 359-U:1 defines the prearranged ride around passengers. A goods delivery is not that ride, so neither the $50,000/$100,000/$25,000 period nor the $300,000 ride is a parcel minimum. 2
