The last mile is the final trip an order makes, from a local depot to the customer's door. Many BC courier and delivery companies do this work for a delivery program, running vans or box trucks that carry the program's orders. Before a program sends you routes, it checks that your insurance meets its minimums.

InsureLine Alder works with delivery companies from our office at 3238 King George Blvd in Surrey. Managing Directors Gurtaj Bahad (CIP, CAIB) and Michael Puni bring over 25 years of combined experience. We put together coverage for your vans and box trucks, the orders inside them and your business, whether you run one vehicle or forty.

We compare quotes from several insurers and explain each one in plain English. If one of your vehicles is in a crash, we work with the insurer for you, so it can get back on the road sooner.

Coverage For BC Delivery Companies

What's Covered

Here is what each part of a delivery company's policy pays for. We set each amount to meet what your delivery program asks for.

  • Auto Liability

    Pays when one of your vans or trucks injures someone or damages their property in a crash. In BC the basic coverage comes from ICBC. Delivery programs often ask for more than the basic amount, so we add extra liability on top.

  • Physical Damage

    Pays to repair or replace your vans and trucks after a crash, fire, theft or vandalism. A vehicle off the road means missed routes, so this helps you get back to work.

  • Cargo In Transit

    Pays for the parcels and other orders you're carrying if they are damaged or stolen, for example in a crash or a break-in while your driver is at a door.

  • Commercial General Liability

    Pays when your work injures someone or damages their property away from the road. For example, someone trips over a parcel your driver left on a walkway.

  • Workers Compensation

    In BC, injury coverage for your drivers comes from WorkSafeBC, not from an insurance company. We check that your WorkSafeBC account and your policy fit together, with no gaps.

Common Questions

Questions About Last-Mile Delivery Insurance

  • Is ICBC's basic insurance enough for my delivery vans?

    No. Every BC vehicle needs ICBC's basic insurance, but it pays at most $200,000 if someone sues you after a crash you caused. Delivery programs often ask for more, so we add extra liability on top. Basic insurance also doesn't pay to fix your own vans, for the orders you carry or for claims away from the road. We add those coverages too, and make sure your vans are insured for delivery work, not personal use.

  • The orders in my vans aren't mine. Why do I need cargo coverage?

    While an order is in your van, you are responsible for it. If it is damaged in a crash or stolen in a break-in, you may have to pay for it. Cargo coverage pays that bill, up to the amount on your policy. That is why delivery programs often ask for it before they send you routes.

  • Can I choose my own insurance broker?

    Yes. In BC, a delivery company can choose its own broker. Your policy just has to meet your program's minimums, and you prove it with a certificate of insurance, a one-page document we give you. We compare quotes from several insurers, so you are not stuck with one price.

  • I pull trailers between warehouses. Is this the right insurance?

    No. This page is for courier and delivery companies that take orders to the customer's door in vans or box trucks. If you pull someone else's trailer between warehouses or sorting centres, you need owner operator insurance. It adds coverage for the trailer you pull.

Minimum Insurance For Delivery Programs

Each delivery program sets the least insurance it will accept before it sends you routes.

For example, as of November 2026, Amazon's Delivery Service Partner program asks for general liability of at least $2,000,000 and cargo coverage of at least $25,000.

For GoBolt, ask the company for its current minimums and send them to us. The last policy we set up for one of its drivers had cargo coverage of $100,000.

Programs can change these amounts. Send us your program's current requirements and we will match your policy to them.

  • 24-hour response guarantee for every question
  • Coverage matched to your delivery program's minimums
  • Quotes from several insurers, side by side
  • Open 7 days a week to fit your schedule
  • Annual re-shop to keep your rate competitive
  • Help with your claim from start to finish
  • Plain-English answers, no insurance jargon
  • 95% client retention driven by our service

* Required

Getting set up starts with a short conversation about your vehicles, your drivers and the routes you run. If you already have a policy, we look at it for gaps.

Next, we ask several insurers for quotes and show them to you side by side, with the price, the deductible and the limits of each. The deductible is the part of a claim you pay yourself. We don't just point to the cheapest one. We explain the differences so you can choose.

Once you choose, we finalize your policy and give you a certificate of insurance, the one-page proof of coverage your program asks for. As you add vehicles, we update your policy. At every renewal, we review it and shop it again to keep your rate competitive.

    I had a wonderful experience getting my insurance done from them. Gurtaj and Michael went out of their way to help me as my previous insurance brokers got my mom’s insurance messed up. I am glad that I went to them. I highly recommend them if you want any kind of insurance without any hassle.
