Vacant Home Insurance and Kidnap Insurance Two Most Overlooked Insurance Plans For Expatriates

A recent survey reveals that vacant home insurance and kidnap insurance are the two most overlooked insurance policies needed by many expatriates today.  At the top of the list on the minds of expatriates is international medical insurance, global dental insurance, and global property insurance.

Vacant home insurance is a special type of homeowners insurance coverage for expatriates that have an empty, vacant, or unoccupied house back in the United States (or any home country).  This situation always requires special coverage.

Kidnap insurance is a type of insurance that pays a ransom benefit and provides international consulting services in the unfortunate event an expatriate or family member is kidnapped in a host country.  Kidnap insurance may or may not be provided by the expatriate's employer.

Vacant homeowners insurance is not purchased by most expatriates because 90% do not understand this special policy is necessary.
