According to the South Dakota Department of Insurance most personal car insurance policies will exclude coverage for the car while it is being used for “business purposes” such as pizza delivery. Many car insurance policies in fact have exclusion for using your vehicle for delivery purposes like this.
You can talk with your insurance agent if your personal vehicle insurance policy will cover you as a delivery boy, but likely it will not. The restaurant you work for may already have car insurance liability protection for this kind of activity to cover the restaurant’s exposure. This may however not protect you if an accident happens. The restaurant will typically require additional insurance to protect themselves if you are negligent.
