​When the unexpected strikes






For those who live, travel to, or work in regions where kidnapping is commonplace, the need for kidnap insurance is essential.

1.  Who’s at risk? Those with highly recognizable personal, business, or family circumstances, either by reason of their business or social   prominence, and/or wealth, or whose position with high profile companies is widely known.

2. What does kidnap insurance provide? Reimbursement of ransoms is the most visible benefit of kidnap insurance, but perhaps more important is the crisis management consulting service provided by insurers that offers the  hostage advisory service necessary to achieve the healthy and timely release of the victim, or victims.

3. How do I decide where to purchase Kidnap insurance? There are several insurers and crisis management services available in the global market, but our 40 plus years of experience and involvement with these life threatening events - working with all of the providers - has hardened our position on who offers the best combination of coverage, pricing, and recovery experience and expertise.


​4. Why we chose many years ago to work exclusively with only one insurer and one crisis management consulting organization. ​With insurance policy terms and conditions among different insurers being closely comparative and with premiums levels that do not differ significantly, the reliability of the insurance company and the expertise of the crisis management organization become the most important elements of the kidnap insurance product. Having the experience of many kidnap cases over the years, involving different insurers and crisis management firms, we became, and remain convinced that the facilities of Hiscox Limited (Lloyd's of London) and their crisis management partner, Control Risks, provide a combination of insurance and hostage recovery service unlike any other.
