Kidnap & ransom
Cover for peace of mind while working in high risk countries
Specialised protection
There are thousands of kidnappings every year around the world and just under half are of professional business people or their families. Kidnappings can happen anywhere but areas of social or political unrest, or war zones have a higher risk.
The majority of these kidnappings are carried out to gain ransom money. Kidnap and ransom insurance can offer help and support to your family if the worst happened.
