What Insurance Covers Ransom Payments?

Some K&R policies cover ransom tied to a defined kidnapping or extortion event, subject to approval, law, and policy limits.

A ransom demand does not itself trigger payment. The policy defines the event, who must be insured, whether the insurer must approve a payment, and how sanctions or applicable law affect it.

Check reimbursement versus pay-on-behalf terms, response instructions, per-event and aggregate limits, proof requirements, and approval steps before travel.
