Is there an insurance company that will insure delivery drivers?

As you are likely aware most private passenger auto insurance policies do not provide coverage when the covered vehicle is used to deliver property, i.e. pizzas, other food, package or people for a fee (salary, tips, etc.). A normal personal auto policy (PAP) sold to individuals usually excludes coverage for drivers who use an insured vehicle to transport persons or property for a fee.

Coverage would probably be denied if an accident occurred while you were using your personal vehicle to deliver food, packages, etc without your insurance company knowing about you using your car for business purposes and stating that your vehicle would be covered. If you not an independent contractor and have an employer, check with your employer to determine if the company will provide you coverage while you are engaged in that employer's work.

Commercial or business driving rates, delivery services, newspaper carriers and real estate agents fall into this same category, are higher than those in standard PAP policies.

[Let CarInsurance.com help you find affordable auto insurance now.]

Since most personal auto policies will exclude coverage for the vehicle while it is being used for "business purposes" you will likely have to obtain a business use or commercial policy for your vehicle since you will be delivery property for money.

Car Insurance Related My boyfriend delivers pizza driver but he never thought to notify his insurance company. A guy in front of him backed into him causing $2,800 worth of damage. My boyfriend's insurance now says he didn't have the right insurance to be delivering in his car and therefore will not cover of his car's damages. Will the other guys insurance cover it? If not will he have to pay it out of his own pocket or if he throws a fit will the ins. company cave and fix his car?
