Kidnap & Ransom Insurance

Kidnap and Ransom insurance provides cover for you or your company in relation to kidnap, detention and all forms of extortion, protecting your assets from illegal demands and consequential associated costs.

Do I need it?

You may not have considered this before, but if you have senior executives and / or employees who operate in high risk regions of the world, work in commercially sensitive positions or who are individuals of wealth / fame they may attract the attention of criminals. Therefore, we'd recommend that you check whether you are fully insured.

To make sure that you're not exposed to any risk, we've outlined some key points below so that you can make an informed decision on this important issue.

A typical policy will cover your company for:

• Kidnap, hijack and bodily injury
• Threats to kill, injure, abduct or to damage property or products
• Extortion - including threats to kill, injure, abduct or to damage property or products
• Malicious detention

As well as insurance protection, cover can include advice and assistance with regard to the well-being of you or your employees. This is provided utilising the expertise of independent security consultants, an example of which is The Control Risks Group - www.control-risks.com

This cover is completely flexible and can be tailored to suit your specific requirements.

To help ensure that you are well-protected, we can provide you with advice and the most effective cover.
