Coverage: Kidnap & Extortion

One of many coverages offered in the ACE USA International Advantage® Package policy

With increasingly volatile economic and political conditions around the world, employees of U.S.- based businesses doing business overseas face a greater kidnapping risk than ever. Incidents are not limited to counties traditionally considered high risk – today a kidnapping can take place anywhere in the world. To address this troubling exposure, companies with staff who travel overseas purchase international kidnap & extortion coverage.

Latest Enhancement: Advantage Package now includes $50,000 of automatic Kidnap and Extortion coverage at no additional charge. Other K&E limits & Church or Educational coverage are available as options.
