Ransom insurance

War, Terrorism, Kidnapping, Ransom Insurance

Kidnapping, ransom, and extortion are just some of the very real and growing threats in today’s world. There are just too many places, once safe for travellers, are no longer the case. There are few companies, news organizations, security companies, or relief agencies willing to send workers abroad without this kind of insurance. The US State Department, and the Canadian Foreign Affairs Department, routinely issue tourist advisory notices identifying areas of rising crime and conflict Latin America, the Carribean, Africa, the Middle East, and in Asia. People living in desparate circumstances are increasingly willing to rob, kidnap, or take advantage of travellers in worse ways for quick personal gain. If you are traveling to a dangerous place, for business or pleasure, you need to be prepared for potential threats.

We understand your need to make sure that you and your loved ones are protected. That’s why we can link you to specialty products that go above and beyond the scope of traditional travel and health insurance to include coverage in the event of War and Terrorism, Wrongful Detention, Hijacking, Child Abduction, Emergency Air Evacuation, and more. Depending on your circumstances, the standard million-dollar policy providing a professional negotiator, a ransom, evacuation, and emergency medical care may cost you little more than a $1,500.

Our insurance partners can cover virtually any nationality resident in North America, Europe, the Middle East, and most Asian countries.

Testimonial,

"We host Columbian refugees, mostly doctors, architects, engineers, who have escaped to Canada. One of their biggest fears concerns family left behind. Kidnapping, ransom, and extortion is a huge business in this country. Family members are taken regularly and held captive until the demanded money is paid. Where the family or employer cannot pay, these family members are just killed. KRE coverage could have saved his life. Its a small price to pay for a husband and father of two young children."
