Aon vs Gallagher: How Do They Compare for Kidnap and Ransom Insurance?

Aon presents Kidnap, Ransom and Extortion as a line its Professional Services Practice helps arrange or advise on for professional-service firms. Aon is describing a global brokerage and advisory service, not issuing the underlying policy. The producing legal entity and carrier for any particular placement are not named on this page. ³Company-reported. Aon’s global professional-services practice page. This establishes a marketed brokerage/advisory offering, not policy issuance or account-specific placement.

Gallagher's Executive and Financial Risk practice places kidnap, ransom and extortion coverage with outside carriers; it does not underwrite the policy. ⁶Company-reported. Group-level executive-and-financial-risk practice page.

The reviewed practice page does not name the insurer or producing legal entity for a specific placement. Ask for both on the quote and binder. ³Not found in reviewed sources. Aon’s global practice page as reviewed 2026-09-30; no state-specific placement schedule or buyer quote was reviewed. This does not establish that Aon cannot arrange a placement.

The executive-and-financial-risk page does not name the insurer that would issue a given client's kidnap and ransom policy. ⁶Not publicly disclosed. Checked the group-level executive-and-financial-risk practice page.

Aon identifies law, accounting and consulting firms as the audience for its global Professional Services Practice. That audience scope does not establish eligibility for every firm or other business. ³Company-reported. Audience described for Aon’s global professional-services practice.

Gallagher describes kidnap, ransom and extortion coverage as relevant to companies whose executives, employees or families travel or work in higher-risk settings, and separately says it is "a must for all companies," without naming a specific industry or size limit. ⁶Company-reported. Group-level executive-and-financial-risk practice page.

Aon lists Kidnap, Ransom and Extortion within its professional-services property-and-casualty coverage areas. The page does not describe covered events, response services, limits or policy terms. ³Company-reported. Aon’s marketing description of the brokerage/coverage area. The page is not the insurer’s policy form and does not establish an insured's entitlement to coverage.

Gallagher describes this coverage as protecting executives, employees and their families whose work and travel expose them to kidnapping and extortion risk, and says it can also secure ransomware coverage. ⁶Company-reported. Group-level executive-and-financial-risk practice page; a service description, not a specific policy's insuring agreement or exclusions.

The reviewed page does not state a buyer-specific limit, retention, deductible or other placement terms. Confirm these in the quote, bond or issued policy. ³Not publicly disclosed. Aon’s global practice page as reviewed 2026-09-30; no quote, bond form or issued policy was reviewed.

The page does not publish specific kidnap and ransom limits or premium ranges. ⁶Not publicly disclosed. Checked the group-level executive-and-financial-risk practice page.

Aon says its professional-services advisors use industry knowledge, insights, data and tools to support risk-management and human-capital decisions. This is a company-described advisory service, not a claim outcome or policy benefit. ³Company-reported.

Gallagher says the coverage it arranges includes access to highly trained rescue and security personnel, and that it analyzes both the policy terms and a carrier's response-team capability when placing this line. ⁶Company-reported. Group-level executive-and-financial-risk practice page.
