Contractors & Consultants

    Specialist cover for contractors working in high-risk environments

    Whether you're a security professional, risk consultant or specialist contractor, standard travel policies won't cover you in conflict zones. Our cover is designed specifically for the environments you work in.

    Many contractor policies exclude the environments you're actually working in.

    War exclusions, civil unrest clauses and professional activity restrictions can leave contractors with no meaningful cover in the locations that carry the most risk. Verify your cover before your next deployment.

    What's covered

    Personal accident in conflict zones

    Cover for accidental death, permanent disability and temporary disablement — valid in active conflict environments.

    Emergency medical treatment

    Medical expenses covered wherever you're deployed, including countries under Foreign Office advisories.

    Medical evacuation

    If local medical facilities can't provide the care you need, evacuation is arranged and covered.

    War and civil unrest

    Policies designed to remain valid in the environments that standard insurance explicitly excludes.

    24/7 operational support

    NGS provides crisis response coordination, not just a phone number — at any hour, from any location.

    Flexible deployment terms

    Cover structured around the way contractors actually work — including short-term and project-based deployments.
