Amazon DSP Insurance
Comprehensive insurance for Oregon Amazon Delivery Service Partners — commercial auto, general liability, workers' comp, and cargo coverage from an independent agency since 1935.
Amazon DSP Insurance in Oregon
Amazon Delivery Service Partners (DSPs) are independent business owners who operate delivery fleets and manage drivers to fulfill Amazon's last-mile delivery needs. As a DSP in Oregon, you face unique risks — from fleet accidents on mountain passes to workers' compensation claims from injured drivers — that require specialized commercial insurance coverage.
Amazon mandates specific insurance requirements for all DSPs, including minimum limits for commercial auto, general liability, workers' compensation, and cargo coverage. While Amazon has partnered with Marsh as a preferred insurance program manager, DSPs are not required to use that program. Working with an independent agency like Insure Pacific allows you to compare the Amazon/Marsh program against 50+ other carriers to ensure you are getting the best coverage at the most competitive price.
Insure Pacific has served Oregon businesses since 1935. Our agents understand the commercial fleet and transportation insurance market and can help you meet Amazon's requirements while protecting your DSP business from the ground up.

Amazon DSP Insurance Coverage Options
All coverages required by Amazon, plus additional protection for your Oregon DSP business.
Commercial Auto Insurance
Required by Amazon with a $1M Combined Single Limit (CSL) minimum. Covers your fleet of delivery vans for bodily injury and property damage arising from accidents during delivery operations. Includes collision and comprehensive physical damage coverage for your vehicles.
Commercial General Liability
Required by Amazon at $1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate. Covers bodily injury and property damage claims that occur away from your vehicles — such as a driver slipping on a customer's porch, a dog bite claim, or damage to property during delivery.
Workers' Compensation
Required by Oregon law for all employers. Covers medical expenses and lost wages for delivery drivers injured on the job — including vehicle accidents, slips and falls, dog bites, and repetitive stress injuries. Oregon has strict enforcement with significant penalties for non-compliance.
Cargo / Inland Marine Insurance
Also called Cargo Legal Liability. Covers Amazon packages in your care, custody, and control while in transit. Protects your DSP from financial liability when packages are lost, stolen, or damaged during delivery. Required as part of Amazon's insurance program.
Umbrella / Excess Liability
Provides an additional layer of liability coverage above your commercial auto and general liability limits. A $1M–$5M umbrella policy is strongly recommended for DSPs given the high frequency of delivery stops and the potential for serious accidents involving multiple vehicles or injuries.
Employment Practices Liability
Covers claims from current or former employees alleging wrongful termination, discrimination, harassment, or wage and hour violations. With high driver turnover common in the DSP industry, EPLI is an important protection for Oregon DSP business owners.
Amazon DSP Insurance: Key Facts
Amazon's Marsh Program vs. Independent Agent — What's the Difference?
Amazon has partnered with Marsh to offer a bundled insurance program for DSPs that covers Commercial Auto, General Liability, and Workers' Compensation in a single application. The program offers convenience features like automated fleet management through the Amazon Fleet Portal and monthly ACH billing with no finance fees.
However, the Marsh program is not always the most competitively priced option for every DSP. An independent agent like Insure Pacific can compare the Marsh program against 50+ other carriers — including specialized fleet and transportation insurance markets — to determine whether you can get the same or better coverage at a lower premium. For Oregon DSPs with strong safety records and experienced drivers, the savings can be significant.
Oregon-Specific DSP Risks
- Mountain pass driving on US-97, US-20, and Cascade routes (ice, snow, steep grades)
- Portland metro high-density traffic with bicycle and pedestrian exposure
- Oregon's strict distracted driving laws — among the toughest in the US
- Rural Central Oregon routes with limited emergency services access
- Oregon requires Workers' Comp for all employers — no small employer exemption

What insurance does an Amazon DSP need in Oregon?
Amazon requires DSPs to carry Commercial Auto Insurance ($1M CSL minimum), Commercial General Liability ($1M per occurrence / $2M aggregate), Workers' Compensation (required for all Oregon employers), and Cargo/Inland Marine Insurance. Many DSPs also carry an Umbrella policy and Employment Practices Liability for additional protection.
Does Amazon provide insurance for DSP owners?
Amazon has selected Marsh as its preferred DSP insurance program manager, offering a bundled program for Commercial Auto, General Liability, and Workers' Comp. However, this is not the only option. An independent agent like Insure Pacific can shop 50+ carriers to compare rates and coverage against the Amazon/Marsh program to find the best value for your specific DSP.
How much does Amazon DSP insurance cost in Oregon?
Amazon DSP insurance costs vary based on fleet size, number of drivers, driving history, and location. A small DSP with 10–15 vans might pay $20,000–$50,000 per year for a full insurance package. Larger DSPs with 40+ vehicles will pay significantly more. Insure Pacific shops multiple carriers to find competitive rates for Oregon DSPs.
Is Workers' Compensation required for Amazon DSPs in Oregon?
Yes. Oregon law requires Workers' Compensation coverage for all employers with one or more employees. As an Amazon DSP, you employ delivery drivers and are required to carry Workers' Compensation insurance. Failure to maintain coverage can result in penalties and personal liability for workplace injuries.
What is cargo insurance for Amazon DSPs?
Cargo insurance (also called Inland Marine or Cargo Legal Liability) covers Amazon packages in your care, custody, and control while in transit. If packages are lost, stolen, or damaged during delivery, cargo insurance protects your DSP from financial liability. Amazon requires DSPs to carry this coverage as part of their insurance requirements.
Can I use an independent agent instead of Amazon's Marsh program?
Yes. While Amazon has partnered with Marsh to offer a DSP insurance program, you are not required to use it. Working with an independent agent like Insure Pacific allows you to compare the Marsh program against other carriers to ensure you are getting the best coverage at the most competitive price for your Oregon DSP business.
