Does K&R Cover Hijacking?

Yes, for your people: Chubb's K&R lists hijacking as a covered event with its full limit available, but stolen cargo or vehicles need cargo or marine cover.

Yes, when your people are involved. Chubb's primary K&R policy names hijacking among its covered events, alongside kidnapping, wrongful detention and hostage crises, and makes the full policy limit available for expenses from a covered hijacking.

K&R protects insured persons, not the goods or vehicle. If you're worried about losing a truckload or shipment, you need cargo or marine cover for that. On the K&R quote, ask how the form defines hijacking, which conveyances count and whether it takes a minimum duration to trigger.
