Your typical kidnap or ransom insurance will cover the ransom payment, fee of consultants hired for crisis management, medical and travel related expenses, among others.

Pet insurance

Pets are considered an extended part of the families they belong to. As the cost of pet maintenance and healthcare of pet is on the rise, you would be wise to consider pet health insurance plans. While loss of a pet can never be compensated but a pet insurance policy does help you protect yourself financially.

Most policies are dog-centric, however some insurers do offer protection to cats, horses, cows and buffaloes. The insured pet is usually covered against death caused by an accident or by disease contracted during the pet insurance term. The cover could be extended for risks such as accidental death in transit, breeding risk, and loss of

dog owing to burglary or break-in. 

Wedding insurance

‘Yes, I do’ is what most of us would wait to hear at a wedding ceremony. The huge marriage wedding expense incurred could come to a naught due to such reasons as bride or groom’s last-minute change of heart, death in the family or even natural calamities. But with a wedding insurance policy in place, you can recover from such expenses.

For a wedding insurance policy, the sum insured is calculated on the basis of expenses incurred in venue booking, hotel and travel booking, card printing and decoration. The wedding insurance could also cover additional unforeseen expenses such as the photographer’s last-minute absence or damage caused due to party revelry!
