In short

Delivery and cargo van insurance is commercial auto coverage for businesses that move goods — couriers, last-mile delivery, catering, florists, and box-truck operators. It includes liability, physical damage, and motor truck cargo coverage for the goods you haul. (Driving your own car for DoorDash or Uber Eats is usually a rideshare endorsement instead.) Auto World compares California commercial carriers for single vans or whole delivery fleets.

What commercial auto insurance covers

Liability

Covers injuries and property damage you cause on the route — at the limits shippers and brokers require.

Physical damage on the van or truck

Comprehensive and collision so a crash, theft, or weather doesn't shut your route down.

Motor truck cargo

Covers the goods you're hauling if they're damaged, lost, or stolen in transit — required by many shippers and load brokers.

Hired & non-owned auto

Protects the business when drivers use their own vehicles or a rental to cover a route.

Rental reimbursement

Keeps deliveries running with a replacement vehicle while yours is in the shop.

Certificates of insurance (COIs)

For shippers, contracts, and facilities that require proof before you can pick up or deliver.

Who needs it

Independent delivery businesses running set routes or on-demand pickups.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need cargo coverage, or is liability enough?▾

If you haul goods that belong to customers or a shipper, you usually need motor truck cargo coverage — liability only covers injuries and damage you cause to others, not the load itself. Many shippers and load brokers require cargo coverage before they'll give you freight.

I deliver for DoorDash with my own car — do I need this?▾

Probably not — that's typically a rideshare/delivery endorsement on your personal policy (see our rideshare insurance page). This commercial coverage is for business-owned delivery vehicles and operations. If you're unsure, call or text and we'll point you to the right one.

Can you insure a box truck?▾

Yes — 16, 20, and 26 ft box trucks are common on these policies. Weight class, what you haul, and your radius of operation drive the rate; tell us the truck and we'll quote it.

I run several delivery vans — can they go on one policy?▾

Yes. Multiple vans is a fleet, which usually prices better and gives you one renewal date plus easy add/remove of vehicles as your operation grows.

A shipper needs a certificate of insurance before I can pick up — can you help?▾

Yes. Once your policy binds we issue certificates of insurance and add the shipper or facility as additional insured so you can start moving freight.

What affects the cost of delivery van insurance?▾

Vehicle type and value, the goods you carry and their value, how far and how often you drive, driver records, and your cargo limit. We compare multiple California carriers to find the best combination.
