For both companies and wealthy families, kidnaps can today occur anywhere, with devastating consequences.

- Ransom
- Loss of ransom in transit
- Additional expenses
- Personal accident
- Legal expenses (Corporate cover only)
- Unlimited response consultant services.
Up to USD $25 million for each coverage section plus unlimited use of the response consultant services.
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.
Beazley's K&R insurance clients benefit from the expertise and worldwide connections of Northcott Global Solutions and Crux Risk, specialist firms with many years of experience negotiating favourable outcomes to K&R and extortion attempts.
Who we can help
- Corporates – Most frequently covers all directors, officers and employees. All family members of these covered persons are automatically included.
- Families – Cover for private individuals and their named family members.
