Kidnap insurance has become more and more relevant for expatriates in all walks of life. You don’t need to be rich or famous to be a kidnap target. Simply working for a global company or, as many recent high profile cases illustrate, sailing in the wrong area, can be enough. Kidnap and ransom insurance could be the difference between a fast and safe resolution, or the worst outcome of all.

Kidnap insurance doesn’t just cover the obvious kidnap and ransom scenario. Car jacking, extortion – threatening to contaminate products in supermarkets or blow up hotel facilities, for example – or a disgruntled former employee mounting a cyber attack or releasing sensitive information, all fall within the remit of kidnap and ransom insurance.

Nor does a ransom fee have to be paid for kidnapping insurance to be of use. Expenses, skilled security consultants, additional security and other considerations can amount to tens of thousands of pounds, even if threats are never carried out, or situations are resolved without payment.

Kidnap and ransom insurance – matching your needs

Kidnap and ransom insurance is always tailor-made to fit your specific risk profile. We can take care of all the details, organising competitive kidnap and ransom cover that can:

  • Provide kidnap insurance for a particular timeframe or a trip to a specific area, like the Gulf of Aden or Niger Delta for example.
  • Cover named employees working in dangerous places, or provide group kidnap insurance which you can allocate to a different executive each time someone visits a particular area
  • Protect an individual or family during a round the world trip or a contract that takes you to a kidnap hotspot
  • Cover your global operation against extortion or other threatening scenarios
