Check with your car insurance company to see if pizza delivery is included in your policy.
Pizza delivery is not covered in most personal auto insurance policies. If you plan on getting a job delivering pizza using your own vehicle, you will need to find a carrier who offers Hired and Non-Owned Auto Coverage in a commercial auto policy. It is important to make sure you are covered in the case of an accident. Some pizza companies have their own insured vehicles that delivery drivers use.
