What affects your price

  • 01

    Destinations

    Where people travel is a main factor in how the exposure is priced.

  • 02

    Number of travelers

    More insured people means more exposure.

  • 03

    Events included

    Each selected event, such as detention or hijacking, can add to the premium.

  • 04

    Limits and retention

    Higher event and aggregate limits cost more, and a higher retention can lower the price.

Common questions

Does the policy pay a ransom upfront?

Not necessarily. A policy may provide crisis-response experts but reimburse specified payments rather than supply the funds, so we check which payments qualify and what approval is needed.

Are family members covered?

Only if the policy names them. We check which employees, relatives and guests each proposal insures.

What happens if I don’t follow the notification rules?

Notification, confidentiality and approval conditions apply in an incident, so we flag them in every proposal.

Can my specialty broker place kidnap and ransom?

Yes. Spot works alongside brokers and takes no commissions on premiums. You can also move to another broker.
