## How it works

- **List who travels and where.** Share the employees who travel or work abroad, their destinations and how long they stay. Your Spot team asks about families and guests you want included.
- **Name the entities and events.** We write down the business entities to be insured and the events you want addressed: kidnapping, extortion, detention or hijacking.
- **Brokers take it to market.** We work with brokers to request proposals from specialty insurers, and follow up on underwriters’ questions about travel.
- **Compare response and conditions.** Each proposal’s response firm, limits, retentions, notification and approval conditions, and territory and sanctions terms sit side by side.

## What you’ll need

- **Travel destinations.** Where people travel or work and how much time they spend there, since territory terms depend on it.
- **Who is to be insured.** Employees, relatives, guests and the business entities, named in the policy.
- **Events to include.** Kidnapping, extortion, detention or hijacking, each compared separately.
- **Business entities.** The organizations that should be covered.
- **Existing travel and security arrangements.** Whatever you already have for travelers, so a new policy fits with it.
- **Limits and retention.** Event and aggregate limits and the retention you want to discuss.
- **Current policy.** Your expiring terms, if you have a policy now.

## What affects your price

- **Destinations.** Where people travel is a main factor in how the exposure is priced.
- **Number of travelers.** More insured people means more exposure.
- **Events included.** Each selected event, such as detention or hijacking, can add to the premium.
- **Limits and retention.** Higher event and aggregate limits cost more, and a higher retention can lower the price.
- **Territory and sanctions terms.** Restrictions affect which destinations and activities the policy actually reaches.

## 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.
