What Last-mile delivery insurance Requirements Apply in Virginia?
Section 46.2-2099.52 requires primary liability of $50,000 per person, $100,000 per incident, and $25,000 property damage from log-on until the partner accepts a request to transport a passenger, and again after the trip ends. From acceptance until the transaction or the ride is complete, whichever is later, primary liability is $1 million. The DMV insurance page restates those figures. The section is passenger transportation. It does not set a goods-delivery minimum.
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 Virginia
Acceptance Starts the $1 Million Period
The $1 million duty begins when the partner accepts a prearranged ride request, and it lasts until the transaction or the ride is complete, whichever is later. It does not wait for the passenger to get in the car, and it does not end at the curb if the transaction is still open. The DMV page restates the same two figures. 1,2
The Lower Limit Returns Only After the Trip
After the trip ends, and until the next acceptance or logoff, the statute returns to $50,000/$100,000/$25,000. A driver who stays logged on between passengers is back in that lower period. Do not leave a gap if the personal policy excludes the logged-on use. 1
The Request Is to Transport a Passenger
Both the statute and the DMV page describe a request to transport a passenger. A goods delivery is not that request, so the $1 million acceptance trigger is not a parcel minimum. The property-carrier weight schedule is a different statute and is not this section. 2
Which Last-Mile Delivery Providers Have Virginia License Records?
No provider in our research documents both a state license record and 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.
