It is recommended you get Commercial Auto Insurance. However, the amounts may depend on your personal level of risk as well as the requirements of your customers. Generally, (100/300) 100,000 per person/ 300,000 per accident is the minimum that companies you would provide delivery services for require. If you handle contracts for a courier company they will also carry insurance - because they would have an “umbrella” coverage called Non-Owned and Hired coverage that requires these primary levels of insurance coverage from all drivers.

Typical Auto Insurance Coverage: (THIS DOES NOT ALWAYS APPLY- but many driver ads are looking for this type of coverage) 100/300/50
Drivers with smaller vehicles: Car, Minivan, SUV, or Cargo Van are usually required to carry auto insurance amounts with $100,000 / $300,000 / $50,000 coverage, but cargo insurance is not often required from drivers of smaller than box trucks vehicles.

The first number ($100,000) is for Bodily Injury Coverage per person. That is the maximum amount your insurance policy will pay out per person for an AT FAULT accident - where the owner of the insurance policy caused the accident. Any costs over $100,000 are your responsibility

The second number ($300,000) is the maximum amount your policy will cover for bodily injury per accident for AT FAULT accidents. If there are multiple people injured, each person's medical costs are covered up to $100,000, but combined for all people injured in the accident - the total coverage is $300,000.

The third number ($50,000) is the coverage for property damage liability. The policy will pay up to $50,000 to another driver's vehicle or property.
