Kidnap & Ransom

Our Kidnap & Ransom insurance is a critical service - the ability to negotiate a safe and successful outcome to a kidnapping, wherever it may occur and whoever may be responsible.

What we offer

We offer Kidnap & Ranson exclusively through the MGA, ANT Exceptional Risks. Please contact us to find out more. Kidnapping has long plagued unstable countries and countries with extreme disparities of wealth and poverty. But today its shadow extends further. For both companies and wealthy families, kidnaps can today occur anywhere, with devastating consequences.

How can we help

Kidnap & Ransom, or K&R, insurance was pioneered in the Lloyd's market. At its core is a critical service - the ability to negotiate a safe and successful outcome to a kidnapping, wherever it may occur and whoever may be responsible.

The Beazley Difference

BEING BOLD

Freedom lies in being bold. We dare to be different and seek bold possibilities to create more innovative, fair and satisfying outcomes for our clients, brokers and employees. From insuring the highest building in the world, to the first commercial lunar vehicle to operate on the moon - we boldly go where others won’t.

STRIVING FOR BETTER

Good is a start, but we go all-out for better.  A driven community of individuals relentlessly push the needle and creating value. From launching the market’s first dedicated ESG syndicate to the establishment of our business unit focusing on designing digital insurance solutions, we pride ourselves on always going above and beyond.  Simply put, at  Beazley we go to 11.  

DOING THE RIGHT THING

Acting with integrity in a straightforward, decent way is instinctive. Open and honest with others, we show respect and empathy however challenging the situation – demonstrated by our multi-award winning claims team.  Doing the right thing makes for a fair-minded, rewarding environment and makes work and life better for all.

Examples or Scenarios

A travelling businessperson is kidnapped by opportunistic criminals who increase their ransom demands when they realise they are a foreigner. We are able to activate our response 24/7 globally utilising our carefully selected expert partners with local knowledge and capabilities.
