Under Amazon's DSP, drivers work for the independent delivery service partner for that area, who is also responsible for paying them, withholding taxes, and getting the necessary insurance covers, including workers' compensation and unemployment, as well as general liability insurance for the drivers, vehicles, and cargo. Amazon is not legally considered a joint employer, so it has no responsibility over the drivers.

Insurance for Amazon Delivery Service Partner Drivers

The delivery service partner is expected to uphold personal insurance for both the vehicles and drivers (employees) so it is compliant with laws in that particular region and state.

In addition to workers' comp, there are four primary coverage modules which are required in the state of California, including:

  • Property damage - involves coverage of any damage to third-party property
  • Personal injury - involves coverage of personal injuries when you're not at-fault
  • Uninsured / underinsured motorist protection - provides additional coverage when the at-fault driver does not have or had insufficient liability insurance
  • Bodily injury - which involves coverage of injuries sustained to over parties involved in an accident
