Kidnap & Ransom Insurance

Kidnap & ransom insurance plans are designed to protect against financial losses that are associated with a kidnap for ransom, extortion, illegal detention, hostage situation, and/or hijacking incident - both domestically and abroad. In order to rescue the insured person as quickly and safely as possible, kidnap & ransom insurance plans typically provides coverage for things like:

• Independent investigation of the situation 

• Negotiation of ransom 

• Arrangement and delivery of funds

• Legal liabilities

• Death or dismemberment 

In many areas of Latin America (i.e. Colombia, El Salvador, etc.), kidnapping is a major risk - particularly in war zones or terrorism hotspots. Expats, foreigners, and high-networth individuals (HNWIs), as well their families, are often targeted because they are perceived as having the funds available to pay off ransom demands. The risk is even higher for those who work in the public spotlight and/or in certain professions. 

As such, a kidnap & ransom insurance plan can be a vital tool to mitigate against these risks. You should consider buying a kidnap & ransom insurance plan if you (or your employees) fall into the aforementioned categories. Even if the threat of kidnapping may not seem large, kidnap & ransom insurance provides much-needed peace of mind that you will receive support in the unfortunate event that a kidnapping occurs.
