Many K&R products are sold to organizations; individual availability depends on the insurer and location. K&R is often sold as organizational coverage, and these sources do not establish individual availability in every location. You may need coverage through an employer or organization rather than a standalone policy. Ask a licensed broker whether you can be named directly. Check insured people, family coverage, travel, territory, and crisis-service access before relying on an employer’s policy. ## More Questions About Kidnap and Ransom Insurance - [How Does Kidnap and Ransom Insurance Work for Executives?](https://thegeneralaverage.com/insurance-faq/kidnap-ransom/kidnap-and-ransom-insurance-for-executives) - [How Does Kidnap and Ransom Insurance Work for Companies?](https://thegeneralaverage.com/insurance-faq/kidnap-ransom/kidnap-and-ransom-insurance-for-companies) - [Is Kidnap Insurance Available for Business Travel?](https://thegeneralaverage.com/insurance-faq/kidnap-ransom/kidnap-insurance-for-business-travel) - [How Much Does Kidnap and Ransom Insurance Cost?](https://thegeneralaverage.com/insurance-faq/kidnap-ransom/ransom-insurance-cost) - [What Are Examples of Kidnap and Ransom Claims?](https://thegeneralaverage.com/insurance-faq/kidnap-ransom/kidnap-and-ransom-claim-examples) ## Coverage Guides Related to Kidnap and Ransom Insurance - [Kidnap and ransom](https://thegeneralaverage.com/coverage/kidnap-ransom) ## Sources for This Answer 1.
