Is Kidnap and Ransom Insurance right for you?

  • Companies sending employees abroad

    Underwriters ask which countries your people visit and for how long, and the policy’s territory has to reach them.

  • Businesses with overseas locations

    Staff based abroad, and sometimes their relatives and visiting guests, raise the question of exactly who the policy insures.

  • Executives and staff who travel often

    Their trips count toward the travel days underwriters ask about, so keep their itineraries current in your file.

  • Companies worried about cyber extortion

    A kidnap and ransom policy may define extortion its own way, so compare its response services and payment terms with your cyber policy.

Kidnap and Ransom Insurance questions

Also known as K&R insurance, kidnap, ransom and extortion insurance and kidnapping insurance.

Can our usual broker place K&R cover?

Spot can work with them on it and takes no commissions on premiums. If you’d rather use a broker who places more international and security risks, we help you switch.

What does kidnap and ransom insurance provide?

It can provide financial protection and crisis-response support for specified kidnapping or extortion events. Event definitions and services vary by policy.

Who pays the ransom first?

Check before you need to know. Ask which payments the policy reimburses and whether your business has to fund them first. Spot raises both questions with brokers.

Can breaking a policy rule affect a claim?

They can. Policies can include notification, confidentiality and approval conditions. Review them before an incident occurs.

What will insurers ask about our travel?

Employee counts, countries of travel, expected travel days, overseas locations, safety and crisis planning, the staff responsible for it, and prior incidents.
